    Property Description

    Located on the highly visible corner of Highway 212 and Main Street in Bird Island, this versatile commercial property offers an outstanding opportunity for a restaurant owner, investor, or entrepreneur looking to establish a business in a prime location. Situated on one of southwest Minnesota's main travel corridors, the property benefits from excellent daily traffic and visibility while being just approximately 1.5 hours from the Twin Cities. The restaurant has undergone extensive recent improvements, allowing the next owner to focus on growing the business rather than tackling major projects. Recent updates include roof repairs and coatings, new epoxy kitchen flooring, replacement of electrical panels and lighting, fire suppression system reconfiguration and inspection, commercial equipment servicing, replacement of the upstairs appliances, plumbing updates, hood cleaning, and numerous additional maintenance and remodeling improvements. Inside, the restaurant features a welcoming main dining room and full bar area, along with a wheelchair-accessible entrance complete with a ramp for added convenience. There are three restrooms, including separate men's and women's facilities as well as a unisex restroom. Just off the main dining area is a room currently used as an office that could easily serve as a private dining room or meeting space. It also offers convenient access to the kitchen through a connecting hallway. An additional rear dining room provides valuable overflow seating and is ideal for private parties, banquets, or special events. The commercial kitchen includes a separate prep kitchen with a walk-in freezer/cooler. While the walk-in currently requires repairs before returning to service, it offers excellent potential for expanded food preparation and storage once completed. Above the restaurant is a spacious apartment that presents an excellent opportunity for an owner-occupant or future rental income. The apartment is currently accessed through the restaurant, making it ideal for an owner living on-site, though an exterior entrance could be added if desired to create a separate income-producing unit. The upper level offers four bedrooms, with the fourth bedroom also functioning well as a second living room, family room, or flex space depending on your needs. The apartment includes a full bathroom, access to the rooftop, and a surprisingly spacious layout that could potentially be reconfigured into two separate apartments with the appropriate planning and approvals. Adding to the property's character are its original pressed tin ceilings, which remain hidden behind finishes in portions of the upstairs. One bedroom closet provides a glimpse of these historic ceilings, offering the opportunity for a future owner to restore and showcase this beautiful architectural feature throughout the apartment. Outside, you'll find a large gravel parking lot providing ample off-street parking for customers, employees, and events. All restaurant furniture, fixtures, equipment, appliances, and other contents currently in the building are included in the sale, making this a true turnkey opportunity. From the dining room furnishings to the commercial kitchen equipment and apartment appliances, everything currently on site stays, allowing the next owner to get up and running with minimal additional investment. Whether you're looking to continue operating a restaurant, create a destination dining experience, invest in a mixed-use property, or explore redevelopment opportunities, this highly visible corner location offers flexibility, character, and tremendous potential.
