Dev Environment

A unique opportunity and rare turn-key business with adjacent living accommodations in one of Montana’s most beautiful recreation paradises. The building has been completely remodeled, refitted, and refurbished in 2019, with all new Vulcan kitchen equipment and an inviting décor to create a special endearing atmosphere and environment to fascinate every visitor. The property sits on the main street of town across from the community park and the banks of the Clark Fork River. The many facets of the business include a popular ice cream bar with walk-up window, a deli, covered outside seating and the sales of Montana Made gifts to compliment a superb menu with delectable food entrees and European-Style baked goods (treasured recipes included in sale). Pride of ownership is evident throughout. From the well-designed kitchen, prep/baking room and different storage and utility areas, to the delightful covered front porch with adjoining covered outside seating, this has a carefully planned and successful design that provides an efficient operation and attractive atmosphere that has drawn repeat customers from a wide area. This opportunity is available not only as a turn-key business including a beer and wine license and hands-on training from the current owners, but also offers an immediate solution for a home for the new owner. With 2 adjacent lots next to the Mercantile, there is a 17’+/- x 40’+/- concrete pad for a residence. Currently owners use a 44’+/- 2018 Keystone Fuzion 5 th wheel for their home with 50-amp service with all connections and utilities, if a new owner doesn’t want to purchase the 5 th wheel, the site is ready for a modular home or to construct a new house or even expansion of the Merc & Café (cottages, a small casino, music venue, event center, the possibilities are endless for expansion). The property is magical and needs to be experienced to be truly appreciated and offers an opportunity to walk right into an existing income producer with a residence opportunity for a life like no other in one of the most beautiful places to work and live in the country. If you’d like to be out of the chaos of the cities and love the outdoors and the natural beauty Montana has, this could be a new life to consider.
