Rare Legacy Acquisition: 80-Year Established Resort & Golf Club — Incredible Real Estate Value

For the first time in eight decades, the iconic C-Way Resort in the heart of the 1000 Islands is available for acquisition. This represents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to purchase a multi-faceted business that has been under the same dedicated ownership for 80 years. The True Value: Expansive Underlying Real Estate Beyond the established revenue streams of hospitality and dining, the true strength of this investment lies in the substantial underlying real estate included in the sale. Spanning approximately 275 acres, this property offers incredible long-term value and land-use flexibility in a premier tourism corridor just minutes from the St. Lawrence River. The site boasts an impressive 6,437 feet of road frontage across multiple thoroughfares, maximizing visibility and commercial access. Investment Highlights: Historic Ownership Legacy: An 80-year track record of excellence and community integration that is virtually impossible to replicate.

The property spans across four distinct parcels and is zoned for Residential-1 (R-1) and Agricultural and Rural Residential (AR) use. Turnkey Operations: An 18-hole, par-71 championship golf course is fully operational. The golf facilities include a clubhouse complete with a pro shop, snack area, and an open deck overlooking the greens. There is a strong base of league and tournament players with the resort offering golf packages to many long term returning groups Expansive Lodging & Accommodations: The property features a 21,573-square-foot, two-story motel building. The lodging footprint includes 30 nightly remodeled rental rooms, 4 apartments, a spacious 3 bedroom 2 bath owner's apartment, a dedicated conference/dining room, large garage and an in-ground pool. Premier Dining Facility: The popular 11,887-square-foot Natali’s Restaurant is a turnkey operation. The expansive facility includes a dining room overlooking the golf course, a banquet room, a full bar and lounge, a small office area and a large commercial kitchen. Additional Real Estate Assets: The acquisition includes a 3,384-square-foot, two-story residence featuring three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a large garage/workshop. The site also provides substantial maintenance infrastructure, including four pole barns offering a combined 4,920 square feet of storage space, alongside additional outbuildings. Strategic Location: Situated in a high-traffic tourism hub along N.Y.S. Route 12, the property benefits from direct proximity to world-class river attractions. The location is highly accessible for regional tourism, positioned just seven miles west of Interstate 81 and the Thousand Islands Bridge border crossing. An Unmatched Opportunity: Properties with this tenure, location, and land mass do not come to market often. This is more than a business purchase; it is the acquisition of a cornerstone regional asset with immense real estate value and decades of brand equity.
