A Landmark Waterfront Destination at the Gateway to the Adirondacks Rarely does a waterfront commercial property of this caliber become available. Situated on 2.7 acres with 154 feet of waterfront on Higley Flow along the Raquette River, this exceptional property offers the rare combination of a nearly new building, an established turnkey business, and extraordinary potential for future growth. Built in 2021, the thoughtfully designed 1,896-square-foot building features a fully equipped commercial kitchen, attractive dining areas, covered outdoor seating, paved parking, and ADA accessibility. Currently operating as The Red Pine Cone, this successful turnkey restaurant, pizza, and ice cream business includes an excellent, experienced staff, established systems, quality equipment, and a loyal customer base, allowing a new owner to step in and continue operations from day one. More than just a restaurant, this has become a true waterfront destination. Residents, campers, paddlers, anglers, snowmobilers, ATV riders, and visitors from across the Adirondacks return year after year, creating an outstanding reputation and a strong foundation for future success. Perfectly positioned less than one mile from the South Colton ATV and snowmobile trailhead and just three miles from Higley Flow State Park, the property sits in the heart of one of Northern New York's premier four-season recreation destinations. Boating, kayaking, paddleboarding, fishing, hiking, camping, fall foliage, snowmobiling, and winter recreation bring visitors to the area throughout the year, while nearby Potsdam and Canton provide a dependable year-round customer base. The possibilities extend far beyond the current operation. With expansive open space and exceptional waterfront frontage, the property is ideally suited for expansion into a craft brewery, waterfront beer garden, boutique lodging, weddings and private events, outdoor concerts, food festivals, or an expanded recreation destination. Also available separately is Higley Outfitters, an established kayak, paddleboard, and recreation rental business, creating the opportunity to own a fully integrated waterfront hospitality and outdoor recreation destination. Built through the dedication of two generations of one family, this property is ready for its next chapter. As the current owners balance professional careers and a growing family, and the parents who helped build the business look forward to retirement, they are ready to pass this exceptional legacy property to its next steward. This is more than the purchase of a business-it is the opportunity to own one of the North Country's most recognizable waterfront destinations and shape its future for generations to come.
