Belle Aire Mansion Guest House $925,000

Surrounded by eleven peaceful acres, Belle Aire Mansion, is a tranquil home away from home. Built in the mid- 1800's,this Southern style mansion is one of the oldest in the Galena area. Once an old farm house, Belle Aire has been a bed and breakfast inn for 26 years. Innkeepers, Jan and Lorraine Svec, have been welcoming guests for 22 of those years. Now it's time to retire! This Federal style home started as an old log cabin in 1836 and the logs are still within the walls. Two more sections were added in the 1800's with the final addition added in 1993, to enlarge the bed and breakfast enough to accommodate our family. The innkeepers quarters are quite large and include three bedrooms, bath and a half, office and den. There are 5 guest rooms, including two whirlpool and fireplace suites, all located on the second floor. The is a large parlor and formal dining room. The bed and breakfast is decorated in antiques and country furnishings. Belle Aire Mansion is being sold with just five of the eleven acres on which it sits. More acreage is available, at an additional cost. We are located at the Galena City limits, just a 3 minute drive into downtown, and just 1/2 mile from the new Midwest Medical Center. Our property has many trees and flowers, and lovely sloping lawn. There is a large barn, two car garage, and cottage. The sale includes furnishings, customer information, website, and future bookings. The home could be used for a beautiful restaurant and there is plenty of space for future expansion. It will be sold turnkey. We are working with a real estate agent, but are willing to answer any questions you might have. We will be retiring in this area and would be glad to mentor the buyers.
