Discover a unique opportunity in the heart of Lancaster County’s Amish Country! The charming Cardinal's Roost Bed & Breakfast is a historic farmhouse built in 1925 by cabinetmaker Abraham Herr and has welcomed guests since 1986 as The Australian Walkabout Inn. This established, turnkey bed and breakfast offers an exciting opportunity for someone looking to continue its legacy or for those seeking a spacious, distinctive property to enjoy as a private residence or multi-generational home. Ideally located in the heart of Lancaster County, this property offers convenient access to popular tourist attractions, county parks, theaters, convention centers, shopping, and dining. The turnkey sale includes the business name, social media accounts, user-friendly website, furnishings (excluding designated items), business supplies, and up to one week of training. Beautiful landscaping, ample parking, a welcoming wraparound porch, and multiple outdoor gathering spaces create an inviting first impression. With over 4,000 square feet of living space, 10 bedrooms, and 8.5 bathrooms, this property offers plenty of room for hosting guests, accommodating extended family, or creating separate living spaces to suit a variety of needs. Inside, the main home blends historic charm with generous living spaces. The foyer features a beautiful staircase, built-ins, and access to the kitchen and living room. Pocket doors, hardwood floors, a chandelier, and abundant natural light add character to the living room, while the adjoining dining area provides access to the porch and owner’s quarters. The fully equipped kitchen features granite counters, a large sink, double ovens, a gas range, and abundant cabinetry. The separate owner’s quarters offers added privacy and includes a bedroom, full bathroom, family room, living room, and bonus room.
