Accommodations

This upscale pet care center provides four different boarding areas for dogs:

Winter and Autumn Forest Luxury Suites

The Winter Forest and Autumn Forests are our two private luxury suites each measuring 12 feet by 14 feet with 4 human windows and two dog door windows. Guests enjoy 24 hour access to a private, fenced outdoor yard. Additional amenities include:

• Toy box
• Adjustable height food and water bowls
• Multiple resting pads
• Bedding and leather couches
• Ceiling fans
• Televisions with dog-oriented DVDs

Spring Forest Indoor/Outdoor Suites

The 25 indoor/outdoor suites that comprise the Spring Forest area include extra-large pet runs with see-through sealed pet doors and security guillotine doors. During staffed hours dogs have free access to their private outdoor run. All indoor/outdoor suites include resting pads and age-appropriate bedding.

The 16 suites (3 feet by 5 feet indoors / 3 feet by 10 feet outdoors) of the Meadow offer similar amenities to the Spring Forest suites in a somewhat quieter area that affords less visual contact with other pets. This area is utilized primarily for older pets, or those that become nervous when around other dogs.

Meadow Indoor/Outdoor Suites

See pictures below, labeled "Meadow Indoor/Outdoor Suites"

Wooded Path Indoor Suites

This very public area contains five indoor only suites typically favored by very small and timid pets that are unaccustomed to the sights or sounds of other pets. Guests in the Wooded Path enjoy a constant view of the staff. Elderly pets have cushy orthopedic bedding; smaller pets have “pet tents” for added privacy.

Exercise Yards

The pet resort has five separate outdoor exercise areas of varying sizes, from 350 square feet up to 4500 square feet. They are all filled with a pet-friendly pea-sized gravel. This gravel ensures proper drainage, and prevents mud, allowing pets the opportunity to obtain adequate exercise, no matter what the weather. Additionally, the limestone gravel permits complete removal of animal waste, and the prevention of urine buildup, preventing the spread of disease. Due to the ample exercise space, all dogs are exercised a minimum of six (6) times daily.
Exercise is included with all animal visits. Animals are exercised individually, or in family groups, with the participation of the pet care worker. Playtime activities will vary, depending upon pet’s interest and participation. There are toys, balls, a pool, and of course people, available to help entertain your pet, and ensure some active participation.

About the Cattery

• 400 square foot, private area for cats
• Filled with enticing sounds and activities
• Relaxing sage green walls, adorned with trees and birds
• Screened-In Cat Porch
• TV with DVD player, which plays nature videos all day

Accommodations

Diversions

While at play, cats can choose to climb the Sisal Mountain, or frolic on the private outdoor screened-in porch (filled with interactive toys). If kitties are feeling more sedate, they can soak up the sun while they recline in a comfortable window bed, or just relax on the silk pillows and down-filled comforter of the cat-sized four-poster bed.

Details

• All cat stays include food, bedding, medication administering, playtimes and attention

Convenience Store with a Country Flair

A real gem of a Store. This is a well-located and busy convenience store, with a classy, old-time country feel.

An old-time country store carrying everything a family would need to have— from nails, to bait, fuel, propane, ice, clothing and even a complete deli.

Location couldn’t be better, within 20 minutes of 5 fishing lakes, and within 15 minutes of the famous Wilson Creek, one of the top trout streams in WNC. Newly named as a state game station, 6 miles to state game lands hunting areas. On main highway between two large towns, 12 minutes to the Interstate, 7 minutes to Lenoir. Within 3 miles of 3 new schools, so area is stable.

Totally new living quarters for overnights for a couple or a really nice perk for a manager. Efficiency apartment with all new wood walls, new bath, separate outdoor entrance.

A fisherman or hunter can stop by and stock their coolers, pick up lunch, get live bait, fill up the car or truck and boat, and even fill the propane tanks for the evening barbeque. If they call ahead their lunch sandwiches can be all packed and ready to go.

Super well established store. Totally remodeled and new equipment purchased in the last year. Two new pizza ovens, valued at 11K each, two new AC units. All equipment except named drink coolers store owned. All new plumbing and wiring throughout. High volume Coca Cola dealer, one of the largest in WNC. High volume means they are able to offer great deals, leading to even higher volume.

Let me tell you the story of this store. It is owned by an old friend of mine, an older gentleman and his wife, he a retired pastor. When he retired he needed something to do and knew of this store, and had lots of experience in the convenience store business, so he bought it. He and his wife had a wonderful time remodeling the store, which they do very well, getting the game permits and the contacts for bait and ice, and buying all new equipment. He knows all the tricks to increasing the profit margin, which he is willing to share with a buyer. They have a good staff. BUT then the other shoe dropped. This store is over an hour from his home and this couple is no longer comfortable working full time and commuting to work. They really want to travel, and the fun of building the business is over. So now it is ready to turn over to someone younger and let them reap the benefits of all the seller’s experience.

Priced at $840,000 plus current inventory, $285,000 assumable at 6%, some owner financing possible. Real estate included. Financials are available.

Adobe "Green" Home in New Mexico

Home Description

The price has been reduced to an unbelievable low considering the construction and location of this home. This property is priced to sell with immediate equity!! This beautiful Territorial style authentic adobe is located on a 5 acre lot on a remote corner of a 160 acre alfalfa farm. This house has 16" thick exterior walls with the majority of interior walls composed of authentic adobe. Elegant, hand made adobe arches compliment the interior passages between rooms. Two authentic Rumford fireplaces are situated within (one in the great room and the other in the master bedroom). The fireplace in the great room has a firebox that is over 4' tall and heats the room and upstairs nicely during the infrequent cold snaps of the desert southwest. The upstairs is over 2,000 square feet and is designed as an open loft. Custom cabinets with original tala-vera tile accents the kitchen and bathrooms. Floors are sculptured concrete (cobblestone/flagstone), tile, or carpet (in the bedrooms). All interior ceilings are rustic/rough pine or logs. The ceiling in the great room is 21'10" tall. This house can be modified into as many as eight bedrooms. Four large storage/coat closets, in addition to large walk-in closets in every bedroom, provide more than adequate storage for most any family. A newly constructed 1/2 mile maintained road leads to the property affording seclusion, privacy, and quiet evenings. Alfalfa fields that surround the property usually lower the ambient temperature by over 10 degrees. Abundant wildlife occupies the yard and surrounding area. This house would make an excellent candidate for a bed and breakfast or Executive Retreat and is great for horses and other livestock. Large back porch (10' x 81') provides for gatherings, barbeques, etc. The large master bath has a 64 square foot custom shower plus a jacuzzi tub big enough for the entire family. Imagine living in the desert and paying less than 100 dollars monthly to cool nearly 5000 square feet during the hottest months of the summer. There is no danger of brush fire, mudslide, or other natural disasters...only the peace, quiet, and tranquility of the Chihuahuan Desert.

What makes this home a Green or Healthy Home?

All authentic adobe, with 16" thick exterior walls (14" adobe plus 2" powerfoam insulation). Vinyl, double-pane energy efficient windows with 11 ceiling fans strategically located throughout the house. At night, if the windows are opened, then closed the next morning, the interior temperature of the house is such that the cooling units never engage. During one particularly hot month, the electric bill for this house was only $81.00 (that's with two five ton heat pumps!). Interior custom cabinets are made of grade one maple. Sculptured cement floors add to the cooling effect. During the winter, fires built in the two authentic Rumford fireplaces provide more than adequate heat for the great room and master bedroom. Even though the heat pumps adequately maintain heat in the house, adding small radiant heaters, for individual comfort, in auxiliary bedrooms significantly lowers monthly winter electric bills. If managed correctly, the adobe construction of this house more than compensates for it's size in regards to heating and cooling..

Market Area

The Good Life in Arizona . . . with Dogs!

Price Reduced by $75,000!

This is an Arizona dream . . . a gorgeous custom built Santa Fe style 3/2 home with solar heated swimming pool, and attached 10 run dog kennel, allowing you to pursue your love of dogs full-time!

Located within 20 miles Tucson, on almost 5 pristine acres in the foothills of the Sierrita Mountains, with Tucson address and city water. The property overlooks state lands that will not be developed, protecting the magnificent view of Picacho Peak almost 50 miles away…and the lights of the city at night. It was perfect and wonderful… but sadly a family emergency requires the owners to return home to the east.

The house was completed in September 2007. The house has almost 1500 sq ft of living space, featuring a Great Room with living, dining and kitchen areas. The heart of the Great Room is a gorgeous slate-tiled wood burning fireplace with a raised hearth and oak mantle. Custom oak cabinets with roll-out shelves on the bottom stand and tall 42” cabinets above with beautiful corian countertops and sink, featuring a fabulous bar for easy entertaining. All new appliances featuring General Electric’s Profile Refrigerator with freezer and ice maker on the bottom, GE Profile washer and dryer, plus smooth surface GE self-cleaning range, GE dishwasher, and built-in microwave. Dog resistant laminated flooring throughout the entire house, except for the custom tile in the 2 bathrooms. Master bedroom and 2 guest bedrooms are all good sized and have ceiling fans. There is a large walk-in closet with custom shelving in the master bedroom, and both guest bedrooms also have custom shelves in their closets. Both bathrooms feature tall cultured marble sinks and countertops and tall toilets (easier on knees and backs), and large linen closets. The master bathroom also features a make-up vanity and a custom tiled walk-in shower with seat. The laundry room has above w/d cabinets for extra storage. The 2-car attached garage with electric door opener has an entire wall of shelves and a good sized storage room perfect for holiday decorations and luggage. Not included in the living sq footage is a 12’ x 18’ enclosed breezeway that attaches the kennel to the garage. The breezeway features a tongue and groove paneled ceiling with the Santa Fe style vigas and ceiling fan. A custom dog bath makes bathing the dogs a pleasure for all.

The kennel is an 18’ x 25’ concrete block structure with ten 3 ½’ x 6 ½’ runs, and still plenty of room for storage, a desk area, and satellite hook up so doggies can enjoy their Animal Planet. Each dog run has an above the ground Karunda dog bed which is included. Three large interconnecting outdoor play runs form a maze around the kennel and house—with the pool in the middle and a private fenced-in garden yard. This past fall landscaping was added, complete with underground sprinkler system on a timer, and beautiful decorative rock borders.

This is a great custom home and dog kennel in a beautiful location in the outskirts of Tucson. Tucson is a wonderful and active dog town with so many activities to enjoy with your dogs: great kennel clubs and dog shows, training clubs and trials, lots of dog parks, and a lot of really nice people who own great dogs. This is a great place to be for people who love dogs.

NY Boarding Kennel , Historic House, Barn and 14 Acres

House:

This historic home was built in the 1830's of stone gathered from the shores of Lake Ontario and mortar probably made on the property. Stones were hauled by horse wagon and sorted by size or color depending on the design used in stone placement. About 18" could be set before they moved on to another home in the area to keep the weight from collapsing what had been set. You usually see at least 3 three buildings in an immediate area so that the workers didn't have to travel long distances to the next home. These homes were built before the Civil War. There was no electricity, gas, inside plumbing or central heat. There were 3 fireplaces and an oven in the original home. The repair from the removal of the oven can be seen in the north outside wall. The 3 remaining fireplaces have been converted to gas logs, and an additional fireplace was placed in the dining room. (said to be 99% efficient, they could be used to heat the home in a power failure.)

The windows are large to take advantage of natural light. This home has unusually high ceilings in the second level. Traditionally homes were built with the better products in rooms that would be seen; ceilings would be higher and moldings more ornate. There is a gas generator in the 2 story barn with a switch breaker in the basement. Home has 4 bedrooms, two full bathrooms, unique living room, and formal dining room. Windows have deep window sills. There is a large family room with gas wall heater and office/whelping room/fifth bedroom with outside access or in-law or income apartment.

(This area could be made into an income apartment.) Bedrooms and living room have original wide pine flooring with square nail heads. Family room has maple flooring original to house, and a cupboard that may have been used when the home was used as a stage coach waystation. Many cobblestones had hidey holes used to hide slaves being transported on the Underground Railroad. A water cistern under family room was used at some point in time. There is a full attic with remnants of a room that may have been used by servants. The area could be remodeled into 2 additional bedrooms and a bath. Two story barn easily holds vehicle, tractor, snow blower and lots of storage Property includes 4 acres of ponds, nut orchard and mowed fields. New evergreens have been to planted to ensure future wind break. There is a well with water that could be used for watering the lawn.

Turnkey Full Service Illinois Boarding Kennel and Home

Sept. 2011: Price reduced by over $60,000!

The Following description was written by the owner:

The house is stick built and 1600 sq. ft. It has a full basement and with half being finished including a full bath. There is already a pool table down there that comes with the house. The basement is accessed from the laundry room in the house and has a finished stairway down to it. We run the entire property off of a well, but do have city water set up if we so chose to switch over. We do have septic for the house, and the kennel is on a drainage system that empties out into the woods. Heat in the kennel is radiant flooring that covers the entire kennel front to back including the runs. The house is ran off of propane that runs us about $750 per year for a full tank.

The property taxes run at about $6500 per year for both the kennel and the house. The property is zoned residential, which technically makes the kennel a really fancy out building as far as the county is concerned.

We have a kennel program that is of access to us called ITS kennel software. I however just use quickbooks.

There are a lot of dog people in this area and I get questions about agility and group classes all the time. I myself have been doing training out of the facility since we bought it, and do very well even just doing the one on one ob classes. I do not really market doggy day care that much. We do offer it, but mostly to our clients that already use us for boarding. With the right set up you could really do some great business with daycare.

The area is continuously growing and right the closest city now by itself sits at about 20,000 population. Plenty of opportunity out here. If it weren't for our families living so far away and having our son we wouldn't be going anywhere. We two moved out here from the east coast and absolutely love it. Yes, we have a kennel license through the state and yes it is transferable. There is no limit to the number of dogs that we can have on the property. The kennel is set up for 20 large dogs and 6 small dogs or cats.

There is plenty of room on the 16 acres for add-ons and growth to the kennel. Currently 8 acres is rented out to a local farmer that is a client of ours and can be taken back any time. 2 acres is a wooded strip on the south side of the property and the other 6 acres is a combination of pine trees, 114 acre pond (fully stocked), and the kennel and house. Property is set back off the road and is in a very tranquil setting.

House has a fenced in back yard with a patio for a couple of our little guys. It is a 3 bedroom, 3.5 bath, with a basement that is partially finished. The rooms inside include the living room, kitchen/dining room, and a laundry/mudroom. Our front loader GE washer and dryer come with the house as well as all major appliances - including stove, refrigerator, dishwasher, and garbage disposal. The garage is a 2.5 car garage with a paved parking area in front of it that has a basketball hoop. Plenty of space for storage and yard equipment in the garage. Mowing your yard is optional here due to the large amount of landscapers. Very good deals just to have someone do it for you.

The kennel is 1800 sq. ft., it is 20 indoor/outdoor runs with guillotine doors. Indoor run is 4 x 8 and outdoor is 4 x 10. It is what they consider a "wet kennel". Everything is washable with the hose and there are drains in the floor that anything can get washed down. There is a 40 x 50 6 ft. fenced in yard in the back to walk dogs in, as well as a 1/4 acre pasture attached for livestock or the very active dog. The entire kennel is temperature controlled with central air and a Geo unit for heated floors. All bowls and supplies will come with the kennel, including desktop computer, vacuum, dishwasher, scrub brushes and squeegees, dog food containers, stackable washer and dryer, grooming table and dryers, and anything else that it takes to run the kennel I might have forgotten. The front half of the building includes a reception room, dog/cat condo room, office, grooming room, bathroom, and kitchen. Currently right now we are functioning our kennel as a boarding facility. It could easily be setup for breeding, daycare, etc. Plenty of possibilities.

Rental Building

The other block building, 1300 sq. ft., is currently rented, and has been for years. It brings in $1500 per month rent. It boasts new bath, new paint, and is in great shape.

This well established kennel business is located right on the main highway to some of the swankiest beach resorts on the East coast. Just SW of Charleston, SC.

20 in/out runs, covered, 15 play/exercise yards. Grassy yards with trees for natural shade. Some of the ex. Yards are covered for extra security. The entire kennel area is also security fenced. There is room for legal expansion. Current kennel building is cement block. Heated and air conditioned thought the pleasant climate makes either unnecessary for a lot of the year.

Office building is airy and light and contains a storage room, which would make a super cattery, grooming room, ADA legal bathroom, and retail space. Computerized with Kennel Connection. Programs and records stay but computer does not.

The first pet cemetery in SC is located to the rear of the property. An additional source of income is the sale of plots, caskets, headstones, etc. Seller reports that she has people coming back to visit their loved and departed pets for years after their passing.

2.7 acres, divided into two parcels. Now to the best part. OWNER WILL FINANCE with $120K down. She is willing to carry the first mortgage at 6% for 5 years. By that time you will have a good enough track record to pay her off.

I expect this one to go fast so give me a call and set up a viewing appointment. No hassle with the banks on this one.

Established South Carolina Kennel w/ Vet Office Next Door

This is a nice stand alone kennel located next door to a veterinary hospital.  Country location but less than a mile to the airport, and less than 5 minutes to town.  Lovely western South Carolina upstate location between Greenville and Anderson.  

Kennel consists of 20 in and outs, all covered outside, and 12 doggy condos, shorter runs on top of 12 of the in/outs. All Mason fenced.  Morton building with central heat and air.  Small separate room currently used for owner's birds could be easily converted for a separate cattery.   Large reception room could be used for training, cage boarding, or retail. Currently offering no training and minimal grooming.  Both would be good additions.  Large turnout area down the hill from the kennel.  

Working relationship with the vet next door is good.  Currently making a decent living but not at full potential.

Have You Ever Dreamed of Living Where No One Will Bother You?

5 --to 20 Acre Parcels @ $10,000 per Acre.

We have parcels of 5 to 20 acres in a dog people only community, located between Asheville and Charlotte, NC. No dog limits, no county restrictions. Only deed restrictions are no commercial hog or chicken farms, no junk vehicles, and no mobile homes, and no loose dogs. Mountain views, some parcels with woods and/or streams, some mostly open except for shade trees. Paved road frontage with power and phone available. Priced at $10,000 per acre, owner will carry financing with 20 % down. A total of 40 acres is available for sale, when that is gone no more sales.

This community has been planned for an active lifestyle. In case you are traveling or at shows there is someone nearby, but not in your pocket, to help if the need arises. The neighbors all have dogs and understand dog people. Most are retired or active show people.

You will need to plan and build your home and kennel, drill a well, and put in a septic tank. The only one built so far totaled 15 K for well, septic, and grading. They built a small log home. Total cost for 5 acres and a home was less than $150,000. Can’t beat that with a stick.

Call Tam directly for this one. We’ll be picky about the neighbors as this is the backside of my own farm.
