5187 Vt Route 7A

Description

A distinctive commercial investment opportunity along highly visible Route 7A in historic Arlington, Vermont. Offering approximately 4,107 square feet of building space on one acre with an impressive 320 feet of road frontage, this established retail location combines visibility, flexibility, and a history that sets it apart. The story began in the 1950s, when the original round building was constructed to resemble a wheel of cheese and opened as The Vermont Cheese House. Over the decades, additions expanded the building to its present size, while the business grew beyond cheese to include Vermont gifts, clothing, and specialty products. It remained a familiar Route 7A destination under the Vermont Cheese House name until 2018. In 2020, the property began a new chapter as Rablogan Castle of Scotland, Purveyors of Fine Scottish Lifestyle Elements, offering Scottish fashion, specialty foods, furnishings, and gifts. Today, this memorable property presents an opportunity for an investor, entrepreneur, or owner-user to acquire a recognizable southern Vermont commercial landmark. Its substantial road frontage, established retail history, and flexible interior space could accommodate a variety of future concepts, subject to local approvals. The offering is for the building and land only, with a potential lease-back opportunity that could provide immediate rental income while preserving future flexibility. From a Vermont cheese wheel to a Scottish castle, this is far more than 4,107 square feet of commercial space. It is a property with character, visibility, history, and a story more than seven decades in the making, ready for its next chapter. All measurements approximate.
