Move to the mountains and have your own business and personal housing under one roof. This "hybrid" property has both commercial and residential zoning. An exceptional live/work property with a 1300 sq. ft. apartment (2 bedrooms/1 bath) to live in while operating your business in the remaining portion. This property was previously home to the Beech Haven Restaurant for 20 years and was the most popular restaurant in town. Completely renovated down to the studs in 2015 to be used as an upscale hostel, this property can sleep 16+ on the commercial side plus 4 in the apartment. Has been end-user/owner-occupied since 2014 as a Realty office and private residence. It is move-in ready for dorm-style employee housing/group home/hostel (sleeps a minimum of 20 people) or there are many other uses such as a construction office, taproom, restaurant, coffee shop/tearoom, retail/office space; just use your imagination! Downstairs includes a shower room featuring 3 private showers and a double vanity, plus there are two 1/2 bathrooms. The large parking lot will accommodate a food truck, enhancing a coffee shop or pub/taproom. Fenced-in dumpster and 4'x8' grease trap are in place; the grease trap can be reconnected for a commercial kitchen. 192 feet of road frontage on Beech Mountain Parkway and all vehicles traveling to and from Beech Mountain pass by this property. Plenty of beautifully landscaped outdoor space and located only 1/2 mile from downtown Banner Elk. City water/sewer and natural gas with a tankless gas hot-water heater. There is flat land on the property for a vegetable garden or build an additional building/structure/garage of approximately 16'x40'. The property has a special use permit for residential use and is commercially zoned as C2, also listed as a residential property (see MLS #247900). There are very few commercial properties for sale in Banner Elk and this is one-of-a-kind. Owner will consider a lease.
