An opportunity like no other! A beautifully,
well-built restaurant situated on the banks of
the Hudson River in Athens, NY. This stunning
turn key operation is the chance of a lifetime.
The relationship between Hudson and Athens
is key to the success of anyone who purchases
this waterfront dream. While it may be the
“Local’s”, who are the main customers of this
restaurant, it is the tourists and regular out
of town visitors, who will continue to grow
the market. Promoting this tourism effort is
greatly supported by the “very active” Greene
County Tourism Agency.
Athens is the center focus of a “Real Estate”
boom like no other. The reason being, a
dramatic favorable property price difference,
and lower taxes in Greene County, which
Athens resides.
On Friday nights, throughout the year,
hundreds of second homeowners from the 5
boroughs and New Jersey travel the railroad
into Hudson, NY. During Spring, Summer and
Fall, many of these property owners take the
Hudson Cruise Ferry the short ride across the
Hudson River to get to their vacation homes in
Sleepy Hollow Lake and the surrounding areas.
This short ferry ride takes about 10 minutes,
carries a fee of twelve dollars and delivers
customers just a few hundred feet from this
restaurant.
Others use the newly offered services of Uber,
rent a car, or have friends pick them up and
travel to Greene County. Athens and Hudson
are about 9 miles apart and takes about 14
minutes by car.
I mention all of this because investors who
see the big picture realize that GROWTH IN
GREENE COUNTY, especially in real estate, is
booming. The opportunities to buy are NOW!
This outstanding restaurant building with its
gleaming heavy oak interior, was constructed
in 2003. The beautiful, fully equipped kitchen,
the dining areas, outside patio, outdoor bar,
and decks are all screaming OPPORTUNITY!
This property was never marketed to its
major feature, the Hudson River, boasting an
amazing 225 feet of waterfront. It makes your
head swim with endless possibilities.
Besides all the features that this restaurant
has to offer, there is an apartment/office
upstairs that incorporates wonderful views
of the Hudson River. With the eagles, ospreys
and ducks that populate the island only a few
hundred feet away.
YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS
PROPERTY TO BELIEVE IT !
