Of course, you canʼt buy a business at just any price – it has to be the right price. If a resort or campground can demonstrate positive cash flow after debt payments and operating expenses, it is certainly in the right ball park. Consider the physical assets, (lake shore, land and buildings), the ownerʼs home, equipment included.

Without question, it is hard to take the plunge into owning your own business during tough economic times – but check your town and community. It is exactly the time that a lot of savvy business minds choose to do just that! I think it is fair to say there is more “upside” potential in tough times than in good.

Our resort experts can help you determine if the “resorting life” is for you. Call us to talk about pricing policies, down payment requirements and current market conditions for our existing resort and campground business.

Here is an opportunity to become owners of a well run campground with modern facilities and a positive cash flow.  Improvements made just this year include the following:

• New tankless water heaters installed for the store, guest laundry, and showers.
• New windows installed in store building.
• New air to air Heat Pump heating and air conditioning unit installed in the store, laundry and bathroom building.
• Replaced and installed new drains in the swimming pool that now meet the new regulations.
• Added a mini golf course to the campground property.
• New privacy fencing that adds to the appearance of the grounds and removes the needed maintenance areas from public view.
• Added a new zero turn lawn mower.

Even though the business shows a positive cash flow this year it is expected to reduce operating expenses for the coming years due to the improvements and efficiency replacements or additions.

The owners are offering this business for sale at $545,000.

Now a new finance option available. Either traditional bank finance or a Contract for Deed available to qualified buyers.

CABINS:The resort has eight two bedroom cabins, one three bedroom deluxe cabin, one large family lodge that will sleep up to 29 people and the two newly built four bedroom mini lodges.  All are in immaculate condition, very roomy and comfortably furnished.  The two newer additions are energy efficient with the under floor hydronic heating and also central air conditioning systems.  These two units, as well as the large family lodge, are available for year around activities such as snowmobiling, ice fishing, scrapbooking or quilting retreats, and family or business gatherings.  With over 2200 feet of lakeshore there is plenty of room for all of your guests.

GROUNDS: In addition to the 2200 plus feet of shoreline, the resort property encompasses 17 acres.  That makes available a hiking trail and lots of room for recreation and play.  The smaller ones will enjoy the modern playground and all of your guests will enjoy the well manicured grounds.  The cabins being located parallel to the lakeshore provide your guests with the feeling of relaxation and comfort that will provide lasting memories and the desire to return again and again.

OUTBUILDINGS: There is a large storage/maintenance building measuring 36 ft X 80 ft plus a three stall garage that is entirely heated.  This not only provides you with the comfort of doing off season maintenance, but it also may be just what you want for you own hobbies in a warm and comfortable setting.

EQUIPMENT: With a resort business of this size there is a long list of equipment so in general, anything that is now used to operate this business is included in the purchase. All of the rental units are very nicely furnished and up to date. The equipment list includes 8 fishing boats, 2 pontoons and much more. A complete list will be made available to prospective buyers.

OWNERS HOME: A new owner’s home was built in 2008.  Located with a view of the entire resort business, this home is very very nice.  The total square footage is 5800 which includes a walk out on the lower lever that has a one bedroom apartment with full bath, an office with a half bath, a laundry room that is also available to your resort guests, linen and supply storage and room for the lodge/store.  On the main level there are four bedrooms, three bathrooms and a beautiful kitchen, family room and dining area.  This home is well planned for the comfort of the owner and family as well as being energy efficient with hydronic heating in the lower level floor and off peak heating and air conditioning in the rest of the home.   There are two separate off peak units, one lower and one upper to gain as much operating efficiency as possible.

TERMS: The price for this resort opportunity is $1,985,000. The business has a positive cash flow and the potential for future growth as the density on this property is at 12.5% of the 25% available. Full financial information will be made available to qualified buyers only. Call me, Roy Larson at 320-815-0247 for further information.

Presently the lodge store is located in a building that could be converted into a cabin.  With the planned available space in the lower level of the new home, the relocation of the store will provide opportunity for additional income.

Full financial information will be made available to qualified buyers only.  Call me, Roy Larson at 320-815-0247 for further information.
