Business for Sale Overview:
Bed & Breakfast, first of its kind in Laurel, MS is for sale for only $229,000. Historic building 100 years old (circa 1907) Owners, a husband & wife team ran this service from two cottages on the grounds of the main house. Most of the patrons were from New Orleans & Jackson & within a 40 mile radius of the property. Guests were mainly anniversary couples & weekend stays. Owners originally did this part-time & never fully intended to provide full-time income (unless rooms in the main house were utilized which would require additional bathrooms, an easy renovation by using the large closet spaces available). Word of mouth about these unique & hospitable accommodations proved sufficient for a steady stream of weekend patrons. Expansion of this bed & breakfast could prove very lucrative if savvy new Owner worked in conjunction with the wedding chapel & large catering facility nearby, the Lauren Rogers Museum of Art & the various tourism groups promoting the area. In order to free up their weekends, the current Owners increased prices to $135.00 per night with a 2 night minimum stay & they still had more than ample business on the small personal scale that they desired. They also had lots of repeat customers. Value of real estate approximately $229,000. Value of Assets $30,000 which include original wall murals. Call now for more details.
