Overview

This riverfront offering is positioned for flexible hospitality and lodging uses, with existing improvements described as a lodge and restaurant operation, a rafting company, multi-dwelling buildings, cabins, and park models. The property is presented as “ready to go,” with underground power and cable already in place, along with four water meter taps and access to high-speed internet service. A log cabin tiny home is currently generating income on a mid-term lease, and the listing notes that personal property can be removed in conjunction with the property conveyance.

The property includes over 400 feet of riverside frontage, and the write-up states it encompasses 522 and 524 N River Road as well as the property section of Yellow Bird Branch. The listing also emphasizes the outdoor recreation and wildlife value of the river setting.

For buyers or operators seeking a turnkey hospitality platform, this configuration can support multiple visitor-serving concepts under one ownership, from lodging and food service to guided recreation. With utilities already installed and existing components on site, it may be well-suited for an operator looking to manage an existing mix of guest accommodations and river-related experiences.
