The Upstater: Commercial Properties for Sale

Every Friday at 11:00, the Upstater website brings you a selection of properties for rent and sale within three hours north (and a little bit east and/or west) of New York City. This week: businesses and commercial properties for sale in upstate New York.

Think NYC has a monopoly on food carts for the gourmand? Not so. Hudson has a very popular and delicious taco stand, Tortillaville, and, you guessed it, it’s for sale. Asking price is $175,000, and the hours it’ll take to make that back seem pretty sweet. Per the owner: “the business, in just six months, working four days per week, from 11AM to 7PM, or a total of just 76 days, earned enough for its partners to take the entire Winter season off.” The business has loads of fans, and the current owners will teach you the recipes.

The current owners of this theater in downtown Margaretville — Brooklynites in the entertainment business — had grand plans to reinvent it as an art cinema (for all that this lovely town has to offer, it’s still an hour from a good flick). But both of them have had so much career success as of late (one’s movie is doing well on the festival circuit, the other just had a pilot picked up) that they no longer have time.

In recent times, the building was used to house an antique mall (now 6,000 square feet of raw space that would be the theater) and a coffee shop (the renovated storefront — they’re still slinging lattes in the front, but that business is soon to move), and there’s a rental apartment on the top floor. More info on their website.

Millbrook, if you haven’t been, is a lovely — if fancy — little town, about 10 miles from Poughkeepsie. And this 1890 carriage house matches the cuteness of its surroundings. It’s 1,682 square feet, with industrial heat and a storage loft.
