INCLUDES REAL ESTATE

Are you ready for a new adventure or want to expand your own business?!

Own a piece of rural Americana with the purchase of this turnkey business, a combined boutique and wine tasting room, the first of its type in the State of Michigan. Owners are retiring.

This well-established northern Michigan business opportunity (18+ years) has a positive cash flow and includes a historic two story brick building built in 1899, complete with the original tin ceiling. Current owners are the third building owners since 1899. The 2^nd story provides rental income from two apartments (recently remodeled) with long term apartment residents. The upper floor apartments include, a 2 and a 3 bedroom with central air, dishwasher and more. The common area includes a coin operated washer and dryer.

The winery tasting room is owned and operated by the sellers through a business relationship with one of Michigan’s most popular wineries, featuring over twenty varieties of locally made Michigan wine which is available for tasting and retail sales.

There is room for growth in the rear area of an attached building or a possible rental space. The outside rear of the building property has two yards that could be used to create a seasonal outdoor wine tasting area, cigar lounge, or both.

Sale comes with displays, setups, furnishings and equipment to operate the business. Boutique inventory will be settled separately and has multiple product lines, including purses, sterling silver jewelry, premium cigars, home décor, Michigan made delicacies and much more. Owner/operators are willing to stay on as consultants during the transition.

The business has an excellent reputation and is located on main street in the very heart of a Victorian downtown with great corner exposure. There is main street parking, side street parking immediately next to the building and a public parking lot directly behind the building.

The Downtown community is a progressive walkable community with a theater, multiple retail and service businesses and eleven eateries including a microbrewery. All within a short walk.
