Description

This listing presents a unique ecotourism business and redevelopment opportunity located in Jasper, Arkansas, known as the state's outdoor adventure capital. Situated on a prime 4+ acre site along scenic Hwy 7 on the Little Buffalo River, the property offers extensive potential. It currently features the Riverview Motel, with 28 rooms (8 currently rentable), an historic home, and four large metal buildings. A significant asset is the Buffalo National River canoe concession license, valid through 2036, which covers 60 canoes and represents 14% of the upper river's capacity. The property is ideally positioned as a gateway to Jasper, serving diverse river access needs across the Buffalo National River. While an auto-body repair business currently occupies some space, it will relocate, freeing up the buildings for redevelopment. This location is ideal for revitalizing the motel or developing a retail/restaurant complex, capitalizing on the area's strong focus on outdoor adventure, surrounded by the Little Buffalo River, Buffalo National River, and the Boston Mountains. The seller is offering transition support.
