Property Description

Entrepreneurs, business owners and adventurers, take a look at this once in a lifetime opportunity to own a piece of old world charm and history in the heart of beautiful Ephrata, Lancaster County! The current owners continued this long established B & B known as 1777 Americana Inn in 2014 and since then have added a ton of improvements without taking away from its charm and character! The historic, more than 200-year-old structure that once served as a stagecoach stop, restaurant, and hotel throughout its history has become a popular destination! In addition to the main inn, the property also contains a detached cottage with 5 Guest Rooms as well as the adjacent building that is designed in the same period style known as the Black Forest Brewery. The main inn also has a separate owner’s apartment and beautiful multiple outdoor patios. A private parking lot on a separate included lot (0.14 acre) is located across Museum Alley conveniently offering 16 additional parking spots to be used by the Inn’s guests. The 1777 Americana Inn, the cottage and the brewery are situated within walking distance to the historic village and its community events happening throughout every season of the year making it a lucrative yearlong business opportunity. Guests can spend a weekend and never have to move their car. The craft brewery offers many uses and loads of potential to start a new business adventure. It has a seating capacity of 70, 50 of which are indoor and 20 on the outdoor patio. All three buildings (main inn, detached cottage, and brewery) provide a combined 8,196 square feet of gross building area. But… if you’re just looking to invest in real estate, this is a beautiful 8-9 unit in a fantastic location for long-term tenants plus a start-up or existing restaurant/cafe.
