Property Description

The Camellia Rose Inn is a landmark 1903 Victorian hospitality property located in Gainesville’s highly sought-after Bed and Breakfast District, just steps from downtown. Surrounded by mature camellia, azalea, and rose gardens, the property offers strong curb appeal and a long-established presence in the market. The inn spans over 4,500 square feet and is configured with 8 guest suites, 8.5 bathrooms, and 6 fireplaces. A 1,000 square foot wraparound porch anchors the guest experience, complemented by interior common areas including a parlor, dining room, chef’s kitchen, and shared workspace. Two main-level suites, one with a private living area, support an owner-operator model. A detached cottage with its own entrance provides additional owner or premium guest accommodations. The Hodges House is an iconic 1887 Victorian mansion converted into a quadplex, offering a rare blend of historic character and income-producing multifamily use. Distinguished by its turret and preserved architectural details, the property delivers a differentiated guest experience. The building includes four one-bedroom, one-bathroom units, each with private kitchens and living areas. Two units feature circular living spaces within the turret. The property currently operates as short- and mid-term rentals, achieving approximately $1,900 to $2,300 per unit per month depending on season and length of stay. Located on a prominent street within walking distance to downtown and Depot Park, the property benefits from strong demand. Together, these properties offer a rare opportunity to acquire a scalable, historically significant hospitality and lodging assemblage with multiple revenue streams and long-term upside in Gainesville’s most desirable historic district. The property is approved for a restaurant and liquor license, creating immediate upside for expanded hospitality operations.
