About This Property

Welcome to a rare commercial opportunity in the heart of Arkell. Set on two separate deeds and zoned for multi-use, this historic property offers exceptional flexibility for business operations, professional services, a live/work lifestyle, or future development.Originally built in the 1800s and once home to a local blacksmith shop, the building has been meticulously renovated to the highest standards while preserving its rich character and heritage appeal.

The kitchen is outfitted with high-end appliances including a Wolf cooktop, Fisher & Paykel refrigerator, wall ovens, and a built-in coffee maker, lending itself well to hospitality, events, or executive use. A rear addition with cathedral ceilings, moody finishes, and a fireplace adds a distinct and memorable atmosphere suited to a wide range of business concepts.A detached 900 sq. ft. heated shop provides additional operational space, storage, or workshop functionality, while the expansive landscaped yard offers room to expand, accommodate clients, or enhance curb appeal.Rich in history, built to perform, and zoned for opportunity, this is a truly one-of-a-kind commercial property that stands apart in every way.
