Description
RARE LAKEFRONT RESORT & INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY! Own a piece of Northern California history with the Featherbed Railroad Bed & Breakfast, an established boutique hospitality destination operating since 1989. Situated on approximately 4.7 acres with 300 feet of Clear Lake frontage, this extraordinary property features 11 authentic vintage railroad cabooses, including 9 operating guest accommodations, a private owner/innkeeper suite, and an additional caboose offering renovation potential. The property includes a historic main residence, commercial kitchen, guest dining and gathering spaces, seasonal swimming pool, natural beach shoreline, mature landscaping, a fully restored pier, and a separate dock offering future improvement potential. Primarily Commercial Resort (CR) zoned, with an additional residentially zoned area toward the rear, this property offers opportunities for continued lodging operations, destination retreats, weddings, private events, and other hospitality concepts, subject to applicable approvals. Significant infrastructure improvements include multiple wells with a newer commercial-grade well, county wastewater service, updated asphalt, dedicated temperature-controlled wine storage, and upgraded HVAC systems. All operating cabooses feature individual mini-split heating and cooling systems and tankless hot water heaters. NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED & FEATURED ON TELEVISION! The Featherbed Railroad has received coverage from Smithsonian Magazine, USA Today, SFGATE, and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. Its historic charm and legendary haunted folklore have attracted guests for nearly four decades. Most recently, the property was selected for an October 2026 feature on the Emmy Award-winning television series Staycation: California Wine Country. With established hospitality infrastructure, unique accommodations, and opportunities for expanded guest experiences, this is far more than a traditional bed-and-breakfast. SALE INCLUDES REAL ESTATE, LAND, IMPROVEMENTS, AND SPECIFIED PHYSICAL ASSETS. THE EXISTING LLC IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE SALE. Certain furnishings, equipment, marketing materials, and other business-related assets may be available as outlined in the purchase agreement.
