In the Heart of Historic Downtown Pellston
Property Overview: These three historic buildings, constructed in the 1890-1900s, serve as the focal point of Pellston’s central downtown area. Boasting over 100 feet of street-side parking and storefront space, the property is strategically situated along the bustling US-31 (Stimpson Street in Pellston), which experiences daily traffic of over 6,000+ vehicles. As a major artery for tourists, local residents, and shoppers journeying through Northern Michigan, US-31 offers prime exposure for businesses.
This is an excellent location for a brewery, tourist store or retail. Includes seven or more apartments. While the buildings require roof, window, and cosmetic facade work, they feature robust, historic load-bearing double-brick exterior walls and open timber truss layouts—the ultimate structurally sound ‘blank canvas’ for adaptive reuse. The buildings are on dry ground far from flooding and were not affected by recent snow, wind and ice storms.
The Antiques Art & Collectibles storefront features expansive “Macy’s style” windows that warmly invite guests inside. Pellston’s wide sidewalks ensure easy and safe parking along US-31, while the area behind the buildings provides additional space for parking, yards, and workspaces.

Only a quarter mile from the scenic Maple River. The property is within walking distance of numerous amenities, including grocery and dollar stores, a hardware store, a pizza deli, schools, a library, trailhead, medical/dental facilities, and a sports park. The Pellston Regional Airport is located 1.4 miles away to the North.
Directly across from the property, the central village park features the Pellston Depot History Museum, bicycle trailhead and the Veterans Memorial. The park hosts various events such as festivals, farmers’ markets, music shows, and craft fairs. The nearby village hall, library, fire station, fire training center, and new trailhead bathroom further enhance the area’s appeal.
