Description

A rare opportunity to bring a well-known rural destination back to life. Maple Leaf Country Store offers a versatile foundation for a new owner to revive a classic country store or explore a range of commercial ventures. This community landmark has historically supported multiple revenue streams, including fuel, LCBO and Beer Store sales, groceries, tobacco, lottery, retail merchandise, fireworks, ice, propane exchange, fishing supplies, firewood and a Clear Water Shop outlet. Serving local residents and seasonal visitors, the property remains configured for many of its former uses. The approximately 1,500 sq. ft. retail space includes refrigeration units, a back storeroom and a full basement with substantial storage. A detached barn and shed provide additional space for storage or commercial use; the barn was previously used for bottle returns. Above the store, a one-bedroom apartment features 1.5 bathrooms, a separate entrance and its own laundry room. It offers convenient on-site living for an owner or staff, with potential for rental income. Located in Maple Leaf with direct HWY 62 North exposure, the property is within convenient reach of Bancroft, Barry's Bay and Algonquin Park, along a well-travelled cottage and tourism corridor. Rural Commercial zoning allows more than 30 potential uses, providing flexibility for redevelopment, expansion or diversification. Whether you envision reopening a country general store or launching a different commercial enterprise, this distinctive property offers space, visibility and opportunity in a prominent location.
