Executive Summary
Own a piece of Arkansas history with a business already running inside it.? Built in 1887 by U.?S.? Marshal Colonel Jacob Yoes, this National Register landmark is the oldest building in Chester — and today it operates as an eleven-room boutique inn with a fully integrated event venue, priced at $899,000.?
The inn generates revenue two ways: nightly bookings across Cloudbeds, Booking.?com, Expedia and direct channels, plus retail sales through its on-site mercantile and apothecary.? But the bigger opportunity hasn't been touched yet.? With a historic dining hall, a staged convention space, and a quarter-acre of undeveloped outdoor ground, this property is built for whole-property buyouts — weddings, reunions, corporate retreats — in a Northwest Arkansas market that's flush with demand and short on historic inventory.? That upside, along with several unactivated distribution channels, is documented for qualified buyers.?
Located just thirty minutes from Fayetteville and the University of Arkansas on the Fort Smith–NWA corridor, the 9,600 SF property sits on 0.69 acres with eleven individually themed guest rooms, two luxury suites, nine toilets, and seven showers.? A five-year restoration preserved more than forty original 1887 windows and the building's original merchandise shelving.?
Confidential financials and channel analysis available to qualified buyers under NDA.? Contact Randy Pendergraft, Pendergraft Realty Group, Keller Williams Platinum Realty — 479-459-7156.?
