Cross Streets: MUSCLOW GREENVIEW RD/HWY 62 N. ** Directions: FROM BANCROFT, HWY 62 NORTH TO MAPLE LEAF. #34820 A/B ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE. Here is a rare opportunity to revitalize a well known rural destination and unlock the full earning potential of a classic cottage country general store. Ideally positioned on a high visibility location along Highway 62, surrounded by lakes, cottages, and rural homes, The Maple Leaf Country Store offers the foundation to rebuild a thriving and profitable enterprise. The property is already configured to support multiple revenue streams, including gas pumps, LCBO and Beer Store sales, tobacco products, groceries, lottery, retail merchandise, fireworks, ice, propane exchange, fishing supplies, firewood, Clear Water Shop, and a Canada Post outlet. With consistent local traffic and strong seasonal cottage clientele, the location offers excellent long term business potential. The retail space offers approximately 1,500 sq ft and includes refrigeration units, a back store room, and a full basement for additional storage. A large detached barn and shed provides valuable additional space and is currently set up for bottle returns but could support a variety of commercial uses. Above the store is a 1 bedroom, 1.5 bathroom apartment with a separate entrance and a laundry room with a two piece bath, offering convenient on site living for owners or staff or the potential for additional rental income. A private patio overlooking the fenced backyard provides a comfortable outdoor retreat after a busy day. Located in Maple Leaf, the property benefits from direct Highway 62 exposure and convenient access to Bancroft, Barry's Bay, and Algonquin Park, placing it in the heart of a popular cottage and tourism corridor. Rural Commercial zoning allows for more than 30 permitted uses, offering exceptional flexibility for expansion or diversification. Be your own boss in cottage country and bring this hidden gem back to life. (id:27476)
