    This exceptional 186-acre property in Troutman, NC, presents a unique investment opportunity: a fully operational zoo. Located near Charlotte with convenient I-77 access, this established business boasts multiple revenue streams. Income is generated through daily admission fees, tiered "animal encounter" experiences, a gift shop, field trips, birthday parties, group events, a summer zookeeper camp, and a holiday light drive-thru. The sale includes the land, existing business, inventory, and animals. The zoo features a drive-thru section with hoof stock animals (Watusi, water buffalo, eland, blackbuck, zebra, emus, etc.) and a walk-around section with exotic animals (tigers, lions, giraffes, kangaroos, monkeys, etc.). Additional amenities include a carousel and train ride. Multiple on-site residences provide housing for staff and management. The property is zoned RA and has an existing APHIS Class C Exhibitor permit (55-C-0272). A buyer will need to obtain/qualify for a similar permit to continue zoo operations. Further details are available upon request. The website, www.zootasticpark.com, offers additional information.

    Realmo Value Estimation

    Realmo estimates a property’s market value using a proprietary methodology that incorporates public data and user-submitted information. This cumulative value is generated by integrating a variety of conventional and innovative methods. 

    Disclaimer

    These figures are not official appraisals and should not be used as a substitute for a valuation performed by a licensed appraiser.

    Actual market value may differ due to factors not captured in the data. Estimates are offered for informational purposes only, and users should conduct independent research before making financial or investment decisions.

    By using this feature, you acknowledge that Realmo is not responsible for actions taken based on these estimates.

    AI approach

    Realmo AI Method estimates property value using machine learning models trained on millions of comparable listings, transactions, and market signals. It analyzes property features, location intelligence data, and current market dynamics to predict the most probable market value in real time.

    Cap approach

    Capitalization Method calculates value based on estimated net operating income (NOI) and applying a market-based capitalization rate (cap rate), we estimate what a typical investor might be willing to pay for it.

    Comparable approach

    Comparable estimate is based on recent sales of similar nearby properties, adjusted for factors like size, condition, and location.

    Relative

    Relative property class coefficient uses factors that account for typical price differences between various asset types (e.g., retail vs. industrial) to provide a more accurate market-aligned estimate.

    Geo

    Comparable Sales Method, enhanced by Geo coefficients — location-based adjustment factors that reflect differences in price levels across neighborhoods, cities, or regions ensuring a more accurate, market-sensitive valuation.

    Alternative use

    Estimate considers the property’s potential value if used for a different purpose-based on zoning, demand, and market feasibility.
