About 17050 Wilson River Hwy
Forest canopy, old growth trees, trickling water in ponds- the earth inspires at this unique opportunity property. The primary building is over six thousand square feet, an adaptive reuse of an old smokehouse in to an incredible mix-use space, w/approximately 1/3 custom finished into a stunning single level flat. Open the retired walk-in cooler doors into the largest bedroom, where the wall of windows welcomes you into a spacious oasis. Live edge wood details wind their way through the home, wrapping around transom windows, substituting as chair rail, and even infiltrating the one and a half bathrooms- defining the shower walls and anchoring the sink. Within the flat, you’ll find a second bedroom, an office, a flex space that could be library, entry study, or even third bedroom. Off of the cozy living room, a whimsical kitchen and spacious dining area open to the garden- part vegetable, part flower, part faerie forest. What about the retail space, you say? Also making up about 1/3 of the building, most recently an art gallery & coffee shop, the retail space has a separate entrance and lobby, large showcase rooms, a half bath and potential to continue as a similar retail operation or flexibility to adapt in to offices or private work areas. Note the industrial details that harken back to the smokehouse origin- thick walls, in-floor drainage, smoke stacks, conduit- in the retail space many of these elements have been painted and embraced, and as you transition in to the core of the building (currently used as storage and workspace) they become more rustic. The large smoke boxes are used now for storage and firewood stacking, and the potential for this center area is limitless- expand the retail, continue the storage/workshop use, create a nursery incubator space, bring in refrigeration, set up a taxidermy lab- it’s your canvas! Plenty of parking, an additional storage building (17’x42’), signage and established road access- a one of a kind location to live/make/work.
