Set high in the rolling hills of Keene, with panoramic views overlooking Rice Lake and McGregor Bay, this property presents an extraordinary opportunity to create a true destination. Located just beyond Shady Acres Cottage & RV Resort at the end of a quiet road, this former home of the well-known Serpent Mounds Café & Family Restaurant carries a legacy as a gathering place-and is perfectly positioned for its next evolution. For entrepreneurs and visionaries, the potential here is undeniable. The existing commercial kitchen provides a strong starting point for a restaurant, café, or event space, while the elevated setting and sweeping countryside views create the kind of atmosphere that draws guests from near and far. Picture a destination dining experience-patio seating overlooking the hills, sunset dinners, weekend brunch crowds, or even a boutique event venue. The property's dual zoning allows for flexibility, whether you envision a full-scale hospitality venture, a farm-to-table concept, or a multi-use space combining dining, retail, and lifestyle experiences. Opportunities like this-where location, history, and potential align-are rare. This is your chance to reimagine a landmark property and establish something truly unforgettable in the heart of the countryside. 2 brand new furnaces and a new hot water tank May 2026.
