Historic Coastal 12-Room Inn, Dining Room/Restaura $995,000

A California Redwood Coast, classic historic roadside inn and ONE OF ONLY NINE CALIFORNIA INNS SELECTED BY NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC TO BE ON ITS COVETED 2009 "STAY LIST!" (Go to www.HistoricRedwoodCoastInn.com to learn more!)This unique establishment truly does offer a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for those who are hospitable by nature and also yearn “to be their own boss” in a spectacular, natural setting somewhat remote from the hustle, bustle and frenetic, daily stresses of city life! So, before reading any further, find yourself a favorite old leather club chair in front of a soothing, crackling fireplace and then nestle in with, perhaps, a glass of sherry or chardonnay. Now, imagine yourself transported a mere 7½ hours north of San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge, but still along California’s majestic Pacific Redwood Coast, to an idyllic setting where only the likes of famed “naturalists,” such as John Muir, would have ventured in 1885, when this coastal inn was first fashioned of native Redwood along the ebbing, flowing and scenic Klamath River just south of today’s Oregon border. Only a mile from the Pacific and less than 100 yards from the banks of the Klamath, this 10,000 square foot historic inn overlooks Redwood National Park, a mystical majesty of a place now designated as a World Heritage Site and an International Biosphere Reserve. Built within its own Redwood grove clearing on slightly over 2 ½ acres of deeded land that spans 400 feet of river frontage, this successful turnkey business boasts 12 guest bedrooms, each named after an area trail and each with its own private bath, a 40-seat dining room/restaurant, commercial kitchen and a pair of one bedroom/one bath apartments for innkeeping owners or staff. The front porch of this California frontier-style lodging offers coveted front-row seating to the ever-changing panoramas of the winding Klamath, just as do many windows from second floor guest bedrooms, first floor dining room and warm entry lobby that also sports an inviting, oversized, brick hearth. The inn includes ample parking and, in year 2009, will even become “carbon neutral” by incorporating a “green business concept” that offsets its CO2 emissions! Closing the establishment during the slow, annual winter season allows the present innkeepers/owners to take several months off every year. But from early spring to late fall, guests arrive from all over the world to enjoy hiking (California Coastal Trail is just steps away), birding, beachcombing, whale-watching, fishing (the Klamath is known as a world-class steelhead and salmon river), kayaking, canoeing, biking and fabulous stargazing! Writers, photographers and dreamers are also frequent repeat visitors. Last, but certainly not least, the inn finds itself in a community that is at the epicenter of North American Bigfoot sightings and research! If you enjoy people (at least, for most of the year!), the magnificence of nature, a mild, all-season temperate climate and also hold a deep desire “to finally become your own boss,” you may value the opportunity to own and operate this specialized lodging -- a viable business opportunity that belongs to a select, albeit small, niche growth sector of the far larger, worldwide hospitality industry --and now one of the "select few" also recognized by the prestgious NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC!. The current innkeepers/owners have sought to respect the integrity of this historic inn through diligent renovation and intelligent updating and are willing to train new owners. They also may consider reasonable seller-financing but further note that a local bank is most willing, and able, to finance the purchase for qualified buyers/aspiring innkeepers. Capitalize on these skilled sellers’ past renovation efforts, their knowledge and experience, not to mention their wise and timely development of outstanding internet-marketing, all of which have made their business grow by 250% in recent years! Consider the possibilities that this recently updated, already-successful, fairly-priced inn presents!
