This beautiful lakefront restaurant & lounge has been serving their rural community since 1949. Well known to the locals and one of the few choices in the area with little to no competition, they draw in many tourists and summer residents as well during their spring to autumn busy season. Seating capacity of about one hundred and twenty, they have the ability to host events and the like. The lounge offers big screen sports viewing, billiards, and pull tab gambling. The dining room offers lake views as well as limited outside dining and access to the private dock for fishing. It’s not unusual to catch a view of a float plane pulling up to the dock to enjoy a sunset dinner. The owner is paying themselves about $85,000 in rent for the real estate. This figure is NOT included in the stated cash flow figures and therefore is available towards the purchase mortgage. The cash flow is from business operations only. The Seller does work in the business, primarily in purchasing, customer satisfaction and bookkeeping. This opportunity needs an involved Buyer who wants to live rural and enjoy a more relaxed pace in life. If you are ambitious, keen on restaurant service, and desire a better lifestyle, this could be the opportunity for you. All inquiries will be required to submit an NDA to receive information.
