Landmark Mixed-Use Investment Opportunity | Seller Financing & Lease-to-Own Available

Seller financing and lease-to-own opportunities are available for qualified buyers.

Located just steps from downtown Bennington, this restored 6,388-square-foot Victorian landmark is one of Southern Vermont's most versatile commercial properties. While currently operating as the successful South Shire Inn, the property's greatest strength is its flexibility to support a wide variety of future business, residential, and institutional uses.

Originally constructed in 1887 by renowned architect William C. Bull, the property includes nine guest accommodations, elegant common areas, owner's quarters, a commercial kitchen, a detached carriage house with additional guest accommodations, and a Thai restaurant leased to a successful long-term tenant providing an established income stream.

The property's layout and MU1 zoning create opportunities for boutique hospitality, multifamily or mixed-use redevelopment, professional offices, executive retreat facilities, wellness concepts, senior living, residential care, educational or institutional uses, event venues, restaurant expansion, and numerous other permitted commercial uses, subject to local approvals.

Whether an investor is seeking an income-producing asset, a developer is pursuing adaptive reuse, an owner-user is searching for a unique commercial property, or a hospitality operator wants to continue an established business, this offering provides flexibility that few properties can match.

Ideally positioned within walking distance of downtown Bennington and conveniently located between Manchester, Williamstown, and the Berkshires, the property benefits from year-round tourism, recreation, higher education, and cultural attractions.

Financial information, operating history, and additional due diligence materials are available to qualified buyers upon execution of a confidentiality agreement.
