Pines Hotel 111 NE 2nd St 14 Room Hotel Smithville, TX 78957 $400,000 ($28,571/Room)

Available now is the historic Pines Hotel property, a landmark structure in the heart of Smithville’s Commercial Historic District. Built in 1910, this three-story building spans 10,800 square feet and is zoned Central Business District (CBD), offering significant development flexibility. Two complete sets of development plans convey with the sale, designed to reimagine the building for modern use while retaining its period charm.
The first set of concepts propose seven apartments across the top two floors with retail space on the first floor and a rooftop garden, creating a mixed-use centerpiece for downtown Smithville. The second plan envisions a dynamic event venue with lodging upstairs and a scenic rooftop garden, tapping into the growing trend for boutique hospitality and destination events. Both plans offer visionary potential but have not undergone mandatory third-party permitting review by the City of Smithville.
With proximity to major Texas corridors such as State Hwy 71 and adjacency to Honey’s Diner—the iconic café featured in Hope Floats—this property blends cultural legacy with future-forward development opportunities. Positioned in a walkable district brimming with cafés, galleries, and historic architecture, the Pines Hotel presents a rare chance for investors to create a defining destination in one of Texas’s most storied communities.
