#2561 Historic California Coastal 12 Guest room Inn and Restaurant Overlooking Red Wood National Park For Sale

A California Redwood Coast, historic inn that offers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for those who are hospitable by nature and also yearn “to be their own boss” in a spectacular, wilderness-like setting somewhat remote from the hustle, bustle and frenetic, daily stresses of city life! So, before reading any further, find yourself a favorite old leather club chair in front of a soothing, crackling fireplace and then nestle in with, perhaps, a glass of sherry or chardonnay.

Now, imagine yourself transported a mere 6 ½ hours north of San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge, but still along California’s majestic Pacific Redwood Coast, to an idyllic setting where only the likes of famed “naturalists,” such as John Muir, would have ventured in 1885, when this coastal inn was first fashioned of native redwood along the ebbing, flowing, scenic Klamath River just south of today’s Oregon border.

Only a mile from the Pacific and less than 100 yards from the banks of the Klamath, this 10,000 square foot historic inn overlooks Redwood National Park, a mystical majesty of a place now designated as a World Heritage Site and an International Biosphere Reserve.

Built within its own redwood groves on slightly over 2 ½ acres of deeded land that enjoys 300 feet of river frontage, this successful turn-key business boasts 12 guest bedrooms, each named after an area trail and each with its own private bath, a 40-seat dining room, commercial kitchen and a pair of one bedroom/one bath apartments for innkeeper/owners or staff.

The front porch of this frontier-style lodging offers front-row seating to the ever-changing panoramas of the winding Klamath, just as do many windows from second floor guest bedrooms, first floor dining room and warm entry lobby that sports an inviting, oversized, brick hearth ... “jus' sittin’ by the fire watchin’ the river go by.” The inn includes ample parking and, in year 2009, will even become “carbon neutral” by incorporating a “green business concept” that offsets its CO2 emissions!

Closing the establishment during the annual, slow winter season allows innkeepers/owners to take several months off every year. But from early spring to late fall, guests travel from all over the world to enjoy hiking (California Coastal Trail is just steps away), birding, beach combing, whale-watching, fishing (the Klamath is known as a world-class steelhead and salmon river), kayaking, canoeing, biking and stargazing! Writers, photographers and dreamers are also frequent repeat visitors. Last, but certainly not least, the inn finds itself in a community that is at the epicenter of North American Bigfoot sightings

If you enjoy people (at least, for most of the year!), the magnificence of nature, a mild, all-season climate and also hold a deep desire “to finally become your own boss,” you may value the opportunity to own and operate this specialized lodging -- a viable business opportunity that belongs to a unique, albeit small, niche growth sector of the far larger, worldwide hospitality industry.

The current innkeepers/owners have sought to respect the integrity of this historic inn through diligent renovation and intelligent updating and are willing to train new owners. They also may consider reasonable seller-financing but further note that a local bank is most willing and able to finance the purchase for qualified buyers/aspiring innkeepers.

This Inn has recently (April 2009) been named to The National Geographic Traveler's "Stay List".

"The hotels on our Stay List 2009 don't just reflect their surroundings—they help define them. What they all have in common is a transcendent vision that goes beyond traditional hotel-keeping. This mindset is what gives these hotels their special sense of place." Charles Kulander-National Geographc Traveler
