INVESTMENT, BOUTIQUE INN & HOSPITALITY OPPORTUNITY

A PLACE TO LIVE, BUILD A BUSINESS AND AN ASSET TO OWN.

Most hospitality businesses require an investor to purchase a commercial property, renovate it, furnish it, create the business concept, and then find customers.

The Ealy Estate presents a different opportunity.

The property is already a beautifully restored historic estate with five bedrooms, four and one-half bathrooms, approximately 4,432 square feet of living space, generous gathering areas, modern amenities, and a location near one of Southern Tennessee's universities.

A new owner can enjoy the property as a private residence while developing multiple potential hospitality revenue streams.

Live in the home.

Welcome guests.

Build a business.

Own the underlying real estate on an expandable 1.4 acres.

And create something that Pulaski does not currently have: a distinctive boutique hospitality destination.

Offered at $1,050,000

MULTIPLE REVENUE OPPORTUNITIES

Guest accommodations, whole-property rentals, executive stays, university visitation, special-event lodging, retreats, and other hospitality uses.

CREATE PULASKI’S NEXT DISTINCTIVE HOSPITALITY BUSINESS

Pulaski offers hotels and traditional short-term rental accommodations, but few lodging options combine historic character, personalized hospitality, substantial common areas, proximity to the University of Tennessee Southern, and the opportunity for an owner to live on the property.

The Ealy Estate offers a new owner the opportunity to create such a business.

Potential Operating Models

OWNER-OCCUPIED BOUTIQUE INN

Live in a portion of the property while renting guest accommodations and personally managing the business.

BED & BREAKFAST

Offer individually rented guest rooms, breakfast service, and personalized hospitality.

HYBRID HOSPITALITY ESTATE

Combine individual guest accommodations, whole-property rentals, executive lodging, university-related stays, and premium lodging packages.

PREMIUM SHORT-TERM RENTAL

Offer the property for whole-house accommodations during selected weekends, holidays, university events, and high-demand periods.

EXECUTIVE AND EXTENDED-STAY LODGING

Provide premium accommodations for visiting executives, university guests, relocating professionals, and other extended-stay visitors.

The Owner-Operator Advantage

An owner-operator may be able to reduce one of the largest expenses in the hospitality industry: management labor.

Instead of purchasing an investment property and hiring a full-time management company, a couple could live on the property, oversee reservations, interact with guests, manage breakfast service, coordinate housekeeping, and personally operate the business.

This model allows the owners to combine their residence, business, and real estate investment in one property.
