We are proud and excited to present this amazing opportunity to own one of Maines most recognizable and long standing retail buildings.

This property sits on approximately 1 acre +/- and features endless expansion and development opportunities. The retail shop opens up to an expansive barn with over 5,000 square feet of space to accommodate any business one could dream of creating.
The barns second level surrounds the center in a 360° Fashion and looks over a railing to below. Ever dream of opening a brewery? A bar? A steakhouse? This is THE property for it. This property would be quite suitable for light manufacturing with distribution and retail as well. The rear of the property features a refrigerated room that is approximately 35'x50', multiple storage rooms, small retail or office in the front of the property and a large, two story apartment with separate access. This property could also be leased to multiple tenants, running different business to generate cash flow.
