Rare turnkey opportunity: a ~20-year-old dog and cat boarding, daycare, grooming and training business, its purpose-built facility, and a 4-bedroom, 3,129 SF residence with an in-ground pool, all on ~14 fully fenced acres in Western North Carolina. The business grossed approximately $510,000 in 2025 with owner-benefit (SDE) of roughly $225,000, and an experienced manager already runs daily operations. The facility holds up to 100 dogs and 20 cats, with about 42 runs, six outdoor play yards covering ~3 acres, 5' fencing around the full acreage, 6' fencing at all play areas, an electronic security gate, a dog training center and a workshop, and the zoning allows kennel expansion. The residence sits on professionally landscaped grounds with a private fenced yard. The loyal, referral-driven client base has never needed advertising for boarding or daycare. Business, real estate and equipment are included at $1,998,000. Confidential business; showings by appointment only.
