Description

Sanctuary on Church and Steamy Buddha Café and Studio, THE central hub for Downeast Maine's wellness needs, are looking for new stewards. Located in downtown Ellsworth and just twenty minutes from Acadia National Park, Sanctuary on Church resides in a beautifully restored turn of the century Victorian with a tiered staircase, original stained glass, and a unique turret design with curved windows. Three common areas plus a shared kitchen, welcome guests upon arrival and six established practitioners see their clients in private, warm and inviting spaces with carved fireplaces, gorgeous lighting and pocket doors. Built in 2019 by E.L. Shea, the 2,957 square foot Steamy Buddha is home to a state-of-the-art studio offering a variety of workshops, yoga, movement and dance classes with softer conducive floors from Zebra Athletics and includes a heating and ventilation system designed for all types of yoga and outer/ inner environment needs. There are two separate changing areas, each with two showers, built-in cubbies, plus a large reception area. The café has a fully outfitted commercial kitchen and seats 22 inside with additional seating outside on the terrace overlooking the pretty, park-like grounds. Situated on 1.26 acres with over 20 plus parking spaces on eco-friendly Geopavers, the property hosts special events including weddings, retreats and workshops for kids and adults alike. Incredible opportunity to be the next owner of this beloved institution with room for growth in many directions.
