50 Church Street, home to the popular Steamy Buddha Yoga Studio, Conscious Cafe and The Sanctuary on Church with six practitioner tenants, is looking for a successor to steward Downeast Maine's central beloved hub for wellness and community. Built in 2019 by E.L. Shea, the 2,957-square-foot Steamy Buddha is a state-of-the-art building offering a variety of yoga, movement and dance classes and retreats. The soft, conducive floors are from Zebra Athletics and the heating and ventilation system is designed for all types of hot yoga or cool dances and workshops. There are two separate changing areas, each with two showers, built-in cubbies, plus a large reception area. The Café has a fully outfitted commercial kitchen and seats 22 inside with additional seating outside on the terrace overlooking the pretty, park-like grounds. The Sanctuary on Church resides in a beautifully restored turn of the century Victorian with a tiered staircase, original stained glass, and a unique turret design with curved windows. Three common areas plus a shared kitchen welcome guests upon arrival and established practitioners and therapists see their clients in private, warm and inviting spaces with carved fireplaces, gorgeous lighting and pocket doors. Situated on 1.26 acres with 20+ parking spaces on eco-friendly Geopavers, the property hosts special events including weddings, retreats and workshops for kids and adults alike. Incredible opportunity to be the next owner of this beloved property with room for growth in many directions. Prime location in downtown Ellsworth and just twenty minutes from Acadia National Park.
