Price Reduced for Quick Sale

Priced at $1,195,000 from an income approach. Price includes real estate, furnishings, and training as negotiated in an acceptable offer to purchase. Lodge will be sold ready to turn the key, walk in the door, and operate. Recent sales of other lodging properties in the area have sold 6+ times annual room sales without being renovated, making this an excellent opportunity for a new buyer.

Seller owns a 2 bedroom 2 bath home within approximately 3.5 miles of the main lodge and cabins facility that is in the process of being added to the rental pool for summer 2008. Income from this additional rental will be tracked separately from the main lodge. Although this property is also on the market, if still available at the time of lodge sale, this cabin may be purchased for an additional $149,000.  Income from this property is not reflected in the financials of the lodge as it  has been utilized solely as the seller's personal property. 

Financing

A qualified buyer with good credit should be able to get into this property with a 20% down payment. Seller "may" be willing to offer a small second mortgage for a qualified buyer (as determined by the seller) to assist with financing. Any seller second mortgage will be subject to terms acceptable to seller and as negotiated in an acceptable offer to purchase. Any seller participation will be subject to seller's sole discretion and will be subject to review of buyer's credit, financial statement, outside debt, resumes, amount of down payment, and business plan.

There is an existing assumable SBA loan on the property in the approximate balance of $420,000. It is assumable for a qualified party with a 1% assumption fee. The interest rate is currently 7.5% with payment of $3,494 with an expectation of a reduction in the next month or two. 

Financial Information & Room Income

This property has substantial income and is modestly priced considering the location within a mountain outdoor sports destination location. Three plus seasons add stability of income. Detailed figures will be made available to a qualified buyer willing to sign a confidentiality agreement.  This is a solid business with MANY advance reservations. Our 2007 room sales were $242,279 without all 15 units on line leaving approximately $130,847 available for debt service and owner compensation. It should be noted the lodge was absentee run from January through June 2007 due to seller illness and sales should be higher with an on site owner to accept guests that drop in to stay. Additionally ski season was 30 days late in opening due to lack of snow and only opened Dec 1, 2007.

Current Performance

Room Sales - Exceed $242,000 for 2007 - *1st snow fall not until 12/1/2007
Late ski area opening reducing sales for 2007 - only 14 units in service Sept-Dec (1 staff occupied)

Room sales vary according to number of units in service and snowfall. Sept 2007 through Apr 2008, only 14 units were in service for a portion of the year to house staff involved in property upgrades and maintenance. All 15 cabins are now in service.

Future Possibilities

Seller has improved the property significantly in 6 years. There are still many remaining options to improve the property to enhance revenues. Rates are nearing a point where they could be easily raised. Expansion with more units is a possibility at this time according to Town guidelines. A new buyer may be able to add a number of new units under existing town guidelines. There is plenty of room to upgrade property more to improve occupancy rates, rental rates, and number of units available. 

Zoning is CB (Commercial Business) allowing for a multitude of other uses should a new buyer wish to expand guest services offered and additional revenue streams.  Seller believes current zoning allows for other business income such as ski rentals, snowmobile rental, raft rentals, sales of outdoor equipment, retail sales, jeep rentals, food sales, and a host of other business activities that are permitted within the current CB zoning.  A new buyer should research to determine feasibility of other sources of income according to their own business plan.
