Rapid River - Beach Property For Sale #6658044

Located in Michigan's Upper Peninsula just a 1/2 mile from US Highway 2, this property offers a rare chance to revive a long-standing local convenience store. Established in 1972, Garth Bluff Gas & Grocery once served the Rapid River community with groceries, frozen food, convenience items, fuel, beverages and much more. While currently closed, the building and infrastructure remain--and the property is attractively priced for a motivated new owner to bring it back to life. The site includes a large, paved corner lot at a busy intersection, with above-ground tanks and pumps for regular and premium fuel. The former store was licensed to sell groceries, liquor, beer, wine, lottery, DNR licenses, bait, propane, seasonal sporting goods, and ice cream. Once updated, the potential to re-establish this business is strong. Attached to the store is a 2-bedroom residence with a full basement and a spacious backyard, perfect for living onsite to keep overhead down. A detached two-car garage includes a second-story loft for extra storage. An above-ground pool with lots of decking and a mini-pool house will give you a place to relax after a busy day at your store. The location is ideal--at the gateway to the Stonington Peninsula, minutes from Lake Michigan, Little Bay de Noc, the Hiawatha National Forest, and nearby campgrounds and recreation. If you've been looking for a business venture where you can live and work on the same property, this unique opportunity is worth a serious look. With vision and effort, this could once again become a thriving business in Rapid River. Offer Submission Deadline is Tuesday September 30 at NOON
