2.53 Acres | 4,564 SF Building | Former Cafe
The former Jungle Park Café presents a one-of-a-kind chance to reimagine a historically tied property in Parke County, Indiana. Sitting on 2.53 acres directly along Highway 41, this site offers excellent visibility, steady traffic, and direct access to regional destinations like Turkey Run State Park (Around the corner), Raccoon Lake, and the historic Jungle Park Raceway(Next Door).
The property includes a 4,564 SF structure—currently in distressed condition, yet showcasing strong structural bones and original craftsmanship. With the right vision, this building can be revitalized into a café, retail shop, roadside attraction, or any retail hub that serves both daily travelers and the thousands of seasonal visitors flocking to the area including The Parke County Covered Bridge Festival, Indiana’s largest festival, drawing hundreds of thousands of visitors over 10 days. The event transforms the area into a regional shopping destination, creating unmatched exposure and traffic for local retailers. Shops, cafés, and vendors see a significant boost in sales, making this a prime opportunity for any retail business looking to capitalize on steady tourism and festival-driven demand.
