22.81 ACRES | APPROXIMATELY 2,500 FEET OF TIDAL CREEK FRONTAGE | COMMERCIAL & DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY! Some properties offer a building. Others offer land. This one offers an opportunity to think bigger! Situated on three parcels totaling 22.81 acres in the Colonial Beach area, the longtime home of the Colonial Beach Moose Lodge brings together an established 7,632-square-foot lodge, expansive recreational grounds, wooded acreage, and approximately 2,500 feet of tidal creek frontage off Monroe Bay. The existing lodge was designed to bring people together, with a spacious main hall featuring a stage and dance floor, commercial kitchen, wet bar, gaming and recreation areas, and plenty of room for gatherings of all kinds. The building also includes two offices, six storage rooms, two sets of restrooms, additional flexible-use rooms, and attic storage. Outside, the property offers even more to work with. A covered pavilion, ball field, paved parking for more than 30 vehicles, and an additional shed with electricity complement the existing facilities. Open grounds transition into wooded acreage, with the winding tidal creek creating a scenic natural setting and an impressive amount of shoreline. And the possibilities for what comes next are just as exciting! With two parcels zoned A-1 and one zoned C-2, this property offers an opportunity for investors, developers, entrepreneurs, and organizations to explore a variety of future uses. Potential concepts include residential subdivision and new home development, a wedding and event venue, private recreational retreat, campground or RV destination, farm winery or brewery, agricultural enterprise, or continued use as a private club or gathering facility. The existing commercial kitchen and large gathering spaces may also appeal to buyers exploring food service, catering, hospitality, or conference and event operations. Each proposed use would require confirmation of applicable zoning and approvals. Significant improvements have already been made, including a roof approximately four years old, a mini-split system in the lodge hall installed approximately one year ago, and updated interior and exterior components for the walk-in refrigerator and freezer approximately two years ago. The main lodge is served by two AC units and a propane furnace. The private well pump was replaced in July 2026, and the septic system has been pumped annually. Whether you're looking to breathe new life into an established gathering place, develop a recreational destination, or explore the potential for a residential community, this property offers something increasingly difficult to find: substantial acreage, existing infrastructure, a waterfront setting, and room for an entirely new vision. Nearly 23 acres, three parcels, and a property with a story already behind it and plenty of opportunity still ahead. IMPORTANT SALE TERMS: Sale will be contingent upon the seller securing a suitable replacement property of their choice. Seller will also require a post-settlement leaseback to allow continued operation of the Moose Lodge while their new facility is constructed. Leaseback terms, duration, and occupancy arrangements to be negotiated and agreed upon as part of the purchase contract. The Moose Lodge will remain in operation during the duration of the sale and rentback period, while their new location is being built. Additional property information: Property consists of three parcels totaling 22.81 acres, with approximately 2,500 feet of tidal creek frontage based on GIS measurements. Creek is shallow, approximately two feet deep at high tide. Property is served by private well and septic. Residential subdivision, redevelopment, and all alternative uses are subject to county zoning verification, applicable permits, environmental regulations, and governmental approvals. Freestanding commercial refrigerator, refrigerator on the lodge side, commercial ice maker, and two commercial fryers do not convey.
