770 John Shultis Road, Denver, NY 12421

Property Description

A rare opportunity in the Roxbury Run corridor, 770 John Shultis Road offers 5,000+ square feet of adaptable space with a long history of hospitality. Built in 1950, the property formerly operated as a restaurant, bar, inn and owner's residence during Roxbury Run's early heyday. The original full-scale bar remains, offering an authentic connection to its past and a natural focal point for future hospitality or event use. The substantial main gathering space features soaring beamed ceilings, skylights, a large stone fireplace, Vermont Castings wood stove and six sliding glass doors opening to a wraparound deck with mountain views. Its scale lends itself naturally to dining, events, retreats and group gatherings. The former commercial kitchen is now a high-end residential kitchen with hickory cabinetry, Silestone countertops, a ZLINE propane range with double ovens and hood, microwave drawer, generous prep space and abundant storage. The building includes six bedrooms and four full baths, including a main-level suite and five bedrooms upstairs, plus an office, large mudroom, laundry area and additional flexible-use spaces. Two adjoining parcels total approximately two acres, with flat usable land, a wraparound deck, firepit area with Cambridge pavers, landscaped walkways and parking for 12+ vehicles. A tributary of the Batavia Kill borders the property. Directly across from Roxbury Run Country Club and close to Roxbury Run Village, the property benefits from an established second-home and recreational community. Roxbury and Margaretville are nearby, with Belleayre and Plattekill Mountain within easy reach. Recent improvements include 49 Pella windows, new siding and exterior lighting, two commercial-size septic tanks, a new boiler, full-house propane generator and extensive interior renovations. With its history, scale, parking and hospitality character, the property offers possibilities for a restaurant or bar concept, bed-and-breakfast, retreat property, private event venue, gathering space, mixed residential/commercial use or owner-occupied business. The hospitality history is already here. The opportunity is in deciding what comes next.
