About this home

A rare opportunity to own a truly one-of-a-kind commercial property where architecture, nature, craftsmanship, and business potential come together. Situated on approximately 2.24 landscaped acres within COMtech Business Park near Pembroke, this custom-designed, 12,410-square-foot steel-framed building was originally created as a fine-dining restaurant and later transformed into a successful wedding and event venue. Designed by a civil engineer with more than 30 years of construction experience, the property was built from the ground up with beauty, resilience, efficiency, and the guest experience in mind. The dramatic interior features soaring ceilings, expansive pond-facing windows and glass doors, hardwood and concrete flooring, a full bar, two fully equipped commercial kitchens, and an unforgettable indoor waterfall constructed with massive two- to three-ton natural boulders. The waterfall and surrounding water features were carefully designed to create a natural atmosphere unlike anything typically found in a commercial property. Large glass doors connect the interior event space to a spacious pond-facing patio surrounded by gardens, raised planting areas, fountains, walking paths, water features, and mature landscaping. The outdoor setting can accommodate gatherings of more than 350 guests and includes a hidden arbor walkway, wooden bridge, gardens, and waterfalls that create a memorable entrance for weddings and special events. The property has attracted weddings and guests from throughout North Carolina and South Carolina, including the Raleigh and Charlotte markets. The building was also designed with long-term durability and energy efficiency in mind. Features include approximately 12 inches of double ceiling insulation, a solar-ready flat roof, a private electrical room, and a raised, reinforced foundation. The seller reports that the property was elevated approximately three feet and protected by a granite retaining wall designed to help prevent pond overflow, allowing the building to remain untouched during one of the county’s most significant historic flooding events. The existing infrastructure offers tremendous flexibility. A buyer could continue operating the property as a wedding and event venue, reopen it as a destination restaurant, create a brewery or hospitality concept, or explore its potential as a wellness retreat, medical or therapeutic facility, senior-care concept, boutique resort, lodge, or hotel. The pondfront grounds also include potential expansion areas for a boutique hotel, second event hall, additional dining space, or other complementary development, subject to zoning and governmental approvals. Utilities include public water, an onsite well, public sewer, propane, and electric service through Lumbee River EMC. The property also offers abundant paved parking and convenient access approximately five minutes from UNC Pembroke, ten minutes from Interstate 95, and less than an hour from Fort Liberty. This is more than a commercial building—it is an experience, a destination, and a foundation for the next owner’s vision. The infrastructure is established, the setting is unforgettable, and the possibilities are extensive.
