A rare opportunity to acquire one of Little River’s most distinctive commercial properties formerly home to The Brentwood Restaurant & Wine Bistro. This beautifully restored Victorian property combines historic character, established hospitality use, and exceptional event potential. The main building offers multiple intimate dining areas, distinctive architectural details, an inviting wraparound porch, bar space, and a commercial kitchen. Its flexible interior layout provides opportunities for private dining, corporate gatherings, receptions, and other catered events. The grounds further distinguish the property, featuring a covered outdoor pavilion, outdoor bar and food-preparation areas, an event stage, landscaped gathering spaces, a koi pond with waterfall, a fountain, and garden areas. The combination of indoor and outdoor accommodations allows an operator to host traditional restaurant service alongside weddings, rehearsal dinners, private parties, wine events, live entertainment, and corporate functions. Positioned in the heart of Little River’s growing coastal market, the property benefits from convenient access to U.S. Highway 17, the Little River waterfront, North Myrtle Beach, Cherry Grove, and the North Carolina state line. Its established identity and memorable setting make it well suited for continued restaurant or event-venue use, a bed-and-breakfast concept, boutique hospitality, professional offices, or another adaptive commercial use, subject to applicable zoning and governmental approvals. This is a unique opportunity for an owner-operator, hospitality group, restaurateur, or investor to acquire a recognizable Little River property with historic charm and multiple potential revenue streams.
Price Improvement! This property consists of approximately 1.65 acres on Hwy 17. It includes the Lake Shore motel, which has been closed for a couple of years, and an existing single-family home currently occupied by the owners. The property is being sold as-is. The zoning is HC (Highway Commercial). While this district is no longer used in Horry County, this property is grandfathered in, allowing for many uses and making it an excellent opportunity for redevelopment. Key details include: - Parcels: Consists of two parcels with approximately 180 feet of frontage along Hwy 17. - Stormwater: Adjacent to a large pond that could potentially be used for stormwater management. - Income: Includes an existing ground lease for a billboard that generates annual income. - Expansion Potential: An additional, connected 3.30 acres is also for sale. Combining both properties would create an estimated 5-acre site with Hwy 17 frontage. This is a great investment for redeveloping either the land or the existing structures. The scarcity of available land in this area makes this property highly desirable. Please call me for more details.
