2 South Street, Lubec, ME, 04652

Lubec has become a Way Downeast, Maine destination. No doubt about that. For decades this property was one of the economic hubs. It has one of the larger, central in-town lots. It was successfully operated as a nursing home for almost four decades. The seller is now ready to pass the torch to the next generation of entrepreneur(s). The property itself sits on 1.18 acres of land with 21,878 square feet and a gross living space of 12,164 square feet on the first and second floors with laundry and a commercial kitchen in the basement. The building has 4 offices on the first floor and 3 offices on the second floor, a large dining area on the first floor, a reception area on each floor, 14 bedrooms on the first floor (3 singles/11 doubles) and 13 on the second floor (4 singles/9 doubles) with different combinations of baths and 1/2 baths, plus there is an elevator. All this, located in the HEART of Lubec within a two-minute walk to everything - the bank, the grocery store, the post office, the library, a public park, a 1-mile beach preserve, a public salt water boat launch, and a vibrant downtown with restaurants and shops, plus a hopping seasonal Farmers' Market and a well recognized and sought after summer program for musicians. So think big! What about an artists' retreat (music, arts, the environment), a shared residential space for affordable housing, an area for community gatherings and education, and/or a restaurant or cafe? Or a combination of all of the above? Lubec is the easternmost town in the USA. It's the gateway to Campobello Island, Canada and Roosevelt Campobello International Park. The whole area offers oceanfront hiking trails along the Bold Coast, and kayaking launches abound. A fun fact is that you can see Campobello Island and the Lubec Channel from the many east-facing windows on this property.
