Midcoast Maine Waterfront Inn for Sale

September 5th, 2016 by Janet Wolf

Phipps header1

This midcoast Maine waterfront inn for sale is set on 4.44 acres on the Kennebec River. Built in the 1770’s, a glorious example of pre-revolution Georgian-style architecture. There are 8 guest rooms (6 guest rooms and a 2 room suite) with 7 baths, all located in the main house and adjoining addition built in 1870.

The Inn is well established as a prime wedding destination. The historic and spacious barn (with level floor and ceiling!) has been renovated and offers a wonderful rustic space to become beautifully transformed for events and weddings.  The spacious gently sloping lawn also offers options for tented or open-air events as well.  And the setting in front of the water is just beautiful!

As you enter the Inn you gain an immediate sense of the gracious lifestyle of times past. From the heavy front door with its bulls-eye glass panel to the wood-paneled grand staircase, the rooms retain most of the original 18th Century touches. The formal first-floor rooms and the four guest accommodations above allow guests fabulous views over the sweeping lawns and Kennebec River.

The adjoining 1870 ‘Ship’s Carpenters’ Quarters’ houses three second-floor guest accommodations and the first-floor Woodshed room with its own private verandah – perfect for romantic getaways and honeymooners.

Owner’s quarters is a 2-3 bedroom, 1 bath two-story space in the barn with open floor plan, kitchen, living room, dining room and picture windows looking out towards the water.

Location is key. Situated just 15 minutes down a quiet peninsula from Bath and just 45 minutes north of Portland, the location offers a perfect secluded spot to use as a home base to explore much of coastal Maine.  Nearby charming villages include Freeport, Brunswick, Georgetown, Boothbay, Wiscasset and Damariscotta. Kennebunkport, Camden and Rockland are just over an hour away. Popham Beach is just a short ride down the base of the peninsula and offers a beautiful spot for sun and relaxation.

This midcoast Maine waterfront inn for sale is listed in the National Register of Historic Places as the McCobb-Hill-Minott House. Many original details remain visible in this outstanding pre-revolutionary mansion. Today the main house is recognized as “an outstanding example of a pre-revolutionary mansion, exceptionally well-detailed and finely proportioned”, according to the 1962 Historical American Building Survey. Most of these original details are still evident in the general construction; window shutters and window seats; wood floors and paneling; grand open fireplaces; and the fascinating ‘witch’s door’ with its Roman and Greek crosses to ward off evil spirits!

This elegant historic midcoast Maine waterfront Inn for sale is offered at $1,350,000. Contact Dana Moos, 207-266-5604 of The B&B Team, Inc.

Ocracoke Island NC bed and breakfast for sale

July 18th, 2016 by Peter Scherman

hd_COVE

The Cove is a very attractive, well maintained 7 guest room Ocracoke NC bed and breakfast for sale. Originally constructed as a duplex, the building has been opened up and added on to, creating a comfortable living room, porch with dining tables, two half baths, as well as operational kitchen, office, and laundry.

The Cove B&B offers a great combination of features that are desirable to travelers. The guest rooms are spacious and the baths are almost all larger than average. All guest rooms have a private balcony or screened porch. The Cove has water views, despite the fact that in Ocracoke, everyone has to drive to the magnificent, wide open (and sparsely populated) beach. To help the guests enjoy the island, the B&B offers bikes, beach chairs and towels. There is a small beach walking distance at Springer’s Point, a 120 acre nature conservancy.

The adjacent cottage for owners or managers on its own lot has two bedrooms, a full bath, full kitchen, living room, laundry, and a delightful screened porch in front. There is also a spacious deck toward the back. A vacant lot, available for purchase separately, is on the other side of the inn’s main building. It serves to protect the view shed as well as affording possible expansion potential.

The Outer Banks of North Carolina have long been a vacation land enjoyed by people from around the country. While the northern sections of the barrier islands have been the most developed and populated, the farther south one goes the more natural the environment becomes with less traffic and fewer people. Ocracoke is a separate island accessed by a relaxing one hour ferry ride (free and operated by the state). This relative isolation is what draws many to Ocracoke. Because it is smaller, simpler, less built up, and has mostly home-grown businesses, it is a throwback to an earlier time that many people really enjoy in our hectic world.

As a wonderful Ocracoke Island NC bed and breakfast for sale, The Cove enjoys a great location with water views, a quiet street and neighborhood away from the bustle of downtown, yet it is very close and convenient to the shops and restaurants that complement a stay in this quaint village.

The bed and breakfast and the owner’s cottage are being offered for the very reasonable price of $795,000. Find additional info at the inn’s website. The Cove is represented exclusively by The B&B Team, Inc. Please contact Peter Scherman, 434-286-4600 for details.

Historic Kansas Full Service Inn For Sale

A landmark hotel in Kansas’ scenic Flint Hills

The Grand Central Hotel is a 10 guest room full service inn for sale in Kansas’ Flint Hills region. The Flint Hills are home to the last great expanse of unbroken prairie – a uniquely beautiful landscape that was settled by cattle ranchers in the 19th century. The Grand Central Hotel, a landmark of that era, is located in Cottonwood Falls, a vintage town just 4 miles from the Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve, where one of the world’s largest bison herds roams. The Grand Central is comprised of an iconic 1884 brick hotel that was renovated and expanded in 1995, creating a restaurant and adding bed and breakfast lodging. Kansas’ only AAA 4 Diamond hotel for 14 years, the Hotel features fine dining, a pub, meeting rooms and tastefully appointed bed and breakfast guest rooms. The Grand Central Hotel is the premier dining and lodging establishment in Kansas’ Flint Hills.

  • 10 bed and breakfast guest rooms, oversized with private baths en suite
  • Uniquely western style interior with high ceilings, exposed brick and custom woodwork
  • Spacious, fully equipped commercial kitchen, run by a notable chef
  • 2 meeting rooms for banquets and private functions
  • Outdoor dining courtyard

Most of the guest rooms are located in the addition, apart from the restaurant area. The guest rooms are “branded” – named for historic ranches – and have tasteful interior finishes that reflect local history.

Two dining rooms, a pub, two meeting rooms, and a large commercial kitchen, as well as restrooms and an office are on the first floor of the Hotel. Two of the Hotel’s ten guest rooms are on the first floor, while the other eight guest rooms and a library for guest use are located on the second floor.

Historic in town Bar Harbor Bed and Breakfast for Sale

September 17th, 2015 by Janet Wolf

Atlantean_hd 1

Every once in awhile an historic Inn of sizable importance becomes available for sale. This historic in town Bar Harbor Bed and Breakfast for sale is just that!

In 1903, famed Bar Harbor architect Frederick L Savage built the bed and breakfast as his personal residence, fronting on leafy Atlantic Avenue, one of the prettiest residential streets in the village. The lovely Tudor Revival home featured artfully crafted massive granite block in the construction of its first floor and buttressed front terrace, as well as the imposing wall along the front of the property. Today, this Tudor cottage is very little changed from Frederick Savage’s original design. Sensitive and thoughtful updates have been undertaken to convert the house into one of Bar Harbor’s favorite B&B’s.

At a Glance;

8 guest rooms, several with wood burning fireplaces,
beautifully renovated, high end en-suite baths with European shower panels, steam showers, the WOW factor!
large parlor with gas fireplace
spacious dining room with gas fireplace
guest butler’s pantry
spacious foyer with gas fireplace
half acre lot with mature trees and beautiful landscaping
About 7,000 square feet of finished space

The bed and breakfast also boast a spacious and well-appointed kitchen with granite counters, tile floors, two dishwashers, two sinks, Wolf range, plenty of cabinets. Owner’s quarters is a few steps down from the kitchen and offers privacy, a comfortable office area, living room, private courtyard, two private entrances (ground level) and a lower level bedroom with bath (newly renovated with glass enclosed tiled shower).

This property is a very important part of Bar Harbor’s architectural and social history. Its preservation and beauty today are due entirely to the fact that it can be used as a vital business thus supporting its maintenance and ongoing restoration and modernization. Historic homes are seldom viable as private homes today, and the rebirth of it as a premier B&B for accommodating discriminating visitors ensures its continuing prominence in this historic village. The brilliance of Frederick Savage’s vision and design has made this possible.

This lovely historic Bar Harbor Bed and Breakfast is offered for sale at $1,800,000. Contact Dana Moos  of The B&B Team, Inc.

Outer Banks Inn For Sale

May 5th, 2015 by Peter Scherman

hd_WGI

There are places that just make you feel special. Some make you feel VERY special. The White Doe Inn is a superb example of an Outer Banks inn for sale that exudes superlatives. Not only is White Doe a member of Select Registry®, but it is also a member of the Diamond Collection®. Every year since 2011 White Doe Inn has received Trip Advisor’s Certificate of Excellence.

With nine guest rooms, all with sumptuous private baths, many with private balconies or garden patios, and all with more than a hint of romance, this bed & breakfast offers its guests a superior experience in the quaint town of Manteo on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. The inn offers a range of packages that vary with the seasons or the reasons, and a comforting massage is never far away. Downtown Manteo (Dare County seat) with restaurants, shopping, and more is just a lazy stroll down the street.

The Outer Banks of North Carolina have been a popular summer destination for over a century. The barrier islands have traditionally been the focus of tourism, while Roanoke Island and Manteo were reserved more for commerce, including commercial fishing. In recent years, however, the commercial fishing has been replaced by a recreational boating marina, Festival Park, and an assortment of shops, art galleries, and restaurants, making it a wonderful alternative to the beach. Roanoke Island is also home to the North Carolina Aquarium and the Elizabethan Gardens, both important tourist attractions.

In addition to the activities on Roanoke Island, Manteo is well positioned for guests to enjoy the beaches of the barrier island, whether in popular places like Nags Head or the wonderful natural beauty of the Cape Hatteras National Seashore where untouched beach stretches for miles.

While the area has a history of being a summer destination, people have learned that the Outer Banks is a delightful place to visit in all seasons. In short, the location of White Doe Inn is highly marketable.

One of the exceptional features of this Outer Banks inn for sale is the owner’s private 1,900 SF residence with 3 bedrooms and 2 ½ baths constructed in 2008 that is steps from the back door of the B&B. With that kind of privacy and convenience, who wouldn’t want to own the White Doe Inn?

The inn is offered exclusively by The B&B Team, Inc. for $1,625,000. For details, email Peter Scherman or call 434-286-4600.

Harborlight Guest House is a six guest room coastal Carolina B and B for sale located in Cape Carteret, NC. The inn of over 7,000 square feet on 1.24 acres is wrapped by 510 feet of Bogue Sound waterfront immediately across the Intracoastal Waterway from Emerald Isle, NC.

The light and bright living room boasts a wet bar with guest amenities, a half bath, and a walk-out terrace leading to the lawn and the inn’s own dock! There is also a catering kitchen on this level that could be fully equipped, ideal for weddings.

Cape Carteret is a quiet town providing essentials, and across the bay at the beach front community of Emerald Isle (6-7 minutes by car) there are many great restaurants and shops. The area from Beaufort to Swansboro is known as North Carolina’s “Crystal Coast.” Camp Lejeune is about 25 minutes from the inn, making this coastal Carolina B and B for sale a popular getaway destination for military personnel on leave and their visiting relatives. The inn is less than 3 hours from Raleigh and only 90 minutes from Wilmington. Charlotte is 5 hours, and Norfolk, VA is 3.5 hours.
