Arizona Mountain C-Store with Real Estate

This long-established, profitable business is located on Mt. Lemmon approximately 25 miles north of Tucson, Arizona. The elevation is more than 8,000 feet. Outdoor activities in the summer include hiking, rock climbing, picnicking, camping, fishing, and sky rides at Ski Valley. In the winter you can enjoy the southernmost ski area in the U.S. Mt. Lemmon is a major recreational area in Southern Arizona.

The original buidings were completely replaced in 2004. The store operates in a 3,000 square foot facility. An attached owner's residence is 3,700 square feet. The total amount of land is .6 acres. An MAI appraisal by one of Arizona's leading appraisers values the property at $2,100,000. One of reasons for such a value is that there are only 350 acres of privately owned land in the middle of a national forest. Arguably, this might be considered one of the most beautiful buildings on the mountain.

This is the only business that sells any kinds of food products unless one is willing to drive down the mountain to Tucson to do their shopping. The $100,000 inventory includes a wide selection of beverages, canned goods, and paper products. This is included in the purchase price. The business has a wine and beer license. Customers include residents who own second homes on the mountain, overnight campers, day visitors, and skiers.

All equipment in the business was new less than 5 years ago and is considered state of the art. If a new owner were interested in developing some kind of cafe or deli business, the necesary equipment is in place.

The owners are an older couple who wish to retire. Since they will move into another home on the mountain, they will continue to be available to a new owner and will provide any transitional support needed. The seller will consider all reasonable offers and may be willing to provide some financing to a qualified buyer.
