Former Chimney Corner Café presents an opportunity to acquire a hospitality and event-oriented property positioned at the intersection of US 60 and WV 16 in Ansted, West Virginia. The property benefits from visibility along two established travel corridors and is located within minutes of major regional attractions including the New River Gorge Bridge, Hawks Nest State Park, and the tourism-driven Fayetteville, rapidly growing.
The property is configured to support multiple revenue-generating uses and includes indoor and outdoor hospitality and event facilities. Existing improvements feature restaurant space, an outdoor deck, amphitheater and stage components, and supporting storage areas. This established layout allows a future owner to continue hospitality operations, expand event programming, or reposition the asset for a variety of entertainment, food-and-beverage, or private event concepts. The total finished space is approximately 4250 combined space, including a restaurant with equipment, bar area with taps, and over 3000 sq ft of outdoor deck and ampitheater.

The area recorded approximately 1.96 million recreation visits in 2025, representing 8.1% year-over-year growth and 22.9% growth since 2022. Regional visitor spending and wedding-related expenditures further reinforce demand for dining, entertainment, and event venues serving both local residents and destination visitors.
