Own a Smoky Mountain Waterfall Roadside Attraction!
Property Description
One of a Kind Rare Opportunity
Own the only commercial waterfall in the Smoky Mountains! The property is the former site of the Cascades Lodge built in 1936. The old rock walls, chimney, and parts of the creek fed swimming pool remain.
I have owned the property for 13 years, operating the business myself for the first ten and leasing it for the past 3. Property is vacant and available now. Solid tourist business with many repeat customers. Multiple revenue streams including admission charge to see the falls, gem mining, beer & snacks, rock shop & store, weddings and events, and possibilities to add more. All the new owner needs is signage and inventory to re-open. You will have immediate business.
$80,000 gets you the lease at $5,000/month and an option to buy the property for $1,250,000. Alternatively you could purchase the business and the property outright for$1,250,000. Cash offers preferred but owner financing may be possible with a down payment comparable to what a bank would want for a commercial loan.
This is a special place looking for a special buyer. Is it you?
