Remarks

This is a phenomenal TURN KEY opportunity for anyone considering going into business. A local restaurant owner has retired after 19 years and is offering to sell this land, a building of approximately 2700 SF, & its entire contents. The building sits on approximately 2.8 acres of prime commercial land equipped with a commercial well & a 1000-gallon septic system, making expansion a real possibility.
Located just before the intersection of Highways 128 and 107, the building itself is historical. Dating back to when as a grocery store/gas station it was the center of the east side of Mountain Rest,  it once held a much-loved restaurant & ice cream parlor. 

The kitchen is fully equipped with a commercial gas cooktop, griddle, two ovens, a stainless range hood, & three fryers. A large capacity grease trap, commercial dishwasher, & a new ice machine are some of the other equipment in this well-appointed kitchen.

The restaurant by itself currently seats 42 inside customers. An adjoining ice cream parlor with a separate entrance seats an additional 24. The oversized & covered front porch adds character as well as additional usable space. The ice cream parlor can be a separate business - say a coffee shop, a gift shop. It can be anything you can dream of. The building is a great space & ideal location with ever-increasing mountain traffic due to the resurgence of outdoor activities.

The “mountain” as the area is affectionately known, is becoming increasingly popular and ripe for business development. At one time, there was a plan to put campsites on the additional land behind the building, & potentially use the existing high-capacity well & septic that is already in place. This location is the best spot in Mountain Rest for a business. The area is a popular destination for mountain bikers due to the opening of the new Stumphouse Mountain Bike Park. Main St Walhalla is only 10 minutes away. The Oconee State Park is only 2.5 miles away. There are many hiking trails & oh so many waterfalls in the area. Not much further are the zip line adventures & world-class guided rafting on the mighty Chattooga River. One must pass this location to go to Cashiers or Highlands.   The opportunities are endless and the "Mountain" locals and visitors are waiting to see what new business will win the opportunity of their patronage.
