Built to serve the local apple industry just before WWII the three level 38,000 sq ft Cold Storage warehouse transitioned into a modern apple facility with a 10,000 square foot block packing house addition in 1963. The building has 53,000 square feet under roof on 3 levels, about 30,000 on the ground level with 23,000 in the upper two levels. The main cold storage building is stoutly built on a stable slab with 10" by 10" posts 15' on center, 3" by 11" floor joists 14" on center and the thick walls are well insulated with cork board insulation. The ground level has housed a consignment antique shop and a 3,000 sq ft Brewery/pub with storage/warehousing in the upper two levels. The lot size is 2.2 acres zoned commercial general (CG) in Rappahannock County which allows for a multitude of commercial and service uses. See the uses listed in the attached zoning document. There are multiple entrances from the exterior which could facilitate the establishment of several different businesses. The expansive lot offers ample space for parking. The mixed-use potential of the property allows for diverse business models, from retail to service-oriented establishments, restaurant, brewery, etc. catering to a broad customer base. The natural beauty of the Thornton River positions this property as a valuable asset in the local commercial real estate market. Investors seeking to capitalize on a property with both immediate and long-term returns will find this offering particularly appealing. The ownership includes a deeded right to maintain signage at the entrance to River Lane. The property is served by River Lane which is a private access for vehicle access and utilities for the lots on River Ln. Some allowance for utilities reserved for an adjoining parcel. The owner seeks to lease back a portion of the building for transitioning the business. Length and term of lease back negotiable.
