Property Description

Rare opportunity to acquire both the real estate and established business of Blue Heron Oyster House & Inn, a highly popular neighborhood restaurant in the heart of Rock Hall. Opened in June 2022, Blue Heron has quickly developed a loyal following among residents and visitors, with waits for tables common during peak dining hours. The building was completely renovated inside and out in early 2022 and offers more than 4,000 square feet across two levels. The main level features an immaculate commercial kitchen, indoor and outdoor cold storage, dining and bar areas, and extensive indoor/outdoor service space. Furniture, fixtures and equipment are less than five years old, with a complete inventory available upon request. Indoor seating accommodates approximately 55 guests at tables plus 24 bar seats. Outdoor dining expands capacity with approximately 42 table seats and 26 additional seats at the tiki bar, bringing total seasonal seating capacity to approximately 147. More than 1,000 square feet on the second floor includes three inn rooms that are not currently being rented, providing an opportunity for a new owner to establish an additional lodging component and year-round revenue stream. An additional office and storage areas are also located upstairs. The property offers 24 on-site parking spaces, with additional parking currently available along Coleman Road and Route 20. Located just two blocks from Ferry Park Beach and within walking and biking distance of several Rock Hall marinas, Blue Heron is well positioned to serve both the local community and visitors to this popular Chesapeake Bay town. The restaurant currently operates approximately 27 hours per week, Wednesday through Sunday, and traditionally closes for a few weeks during the winter. Sale includes the real estate and operating business. Additional business information and FF&E inventory are available to qualified buyers upon execution of an NDA.
