An extraordinary opportunity to acquire First Settlers Lodge, a sprawling 40-acre private estate and four-season recreational hub located in the heart of the East Grand Lake region. Bordered by hundreds of acres of protected conservation land, this property offers unparalleled privacy, an unspoiled natural setting, and a turn-key hospitality business with multiple avenues for significant growth.
The estate’s value is anchored by its vast land holding and direct access to premier hiking and ITS snowmobile trails, positioning it as a year-round destination for outdoor enthusiasts. The property sits directly across from the iconic "Million Dollar View" scenic overlook, providing a world-class sense of arrival and a powerful, built-in marketing advantage.
The turn-key operation includes a 6-room lodge (27-guest capacity) and a fully-equipped commercial kitchen and restaurant. While currently providing a stable income base, this infrastructure is primed for expansion. The combination of private land, trail access, and food & beverage facilities creates the perfect platform for a new owner to develop a highly profitable destination resort, hosting everything from snowmobile clubs and hunting parties to corporate retreats and wellness getaways.
