For more than four decades, East River Nursery has been a trusted destination known throughout the region for quality, service, and beautifully maintained grounds. Now, after building the business from the ground up and operating it successfully for 42 years, the owners are ready to retire—creating an extraordinary opportunity for the next owner to continue this well-established nursery and landscaping operation or transform the property for an entirely new vision. Positioned along a busy highway with outstanding visibility and convenient access, this prime commercial property offers the kind of location, infrastructure, and versatility that is increasingly difficult to find. The thoughtfully developed grounds and collection of high-quality buildings make it ideally suited for continued use as a nursery, greenhouse, garden center, or landscaping business. The property could also lend itself to a construction or trades business, retail destination, equipment operation, educational or event facility, wedding venue, or numerous other commercial ventures, subject to applicable zoning and approvals. At the heart of the property is an impressive 48' x 84' retail store and office building, providing an inviting customer-facing space along with established company offices. A 72' x 72' retail greenhouse offers substantial room for seasonal merchandise, plant sales, displays, or expanded retail opportunities. Additional improvements include a 42' x 84' Morton building currently arranged for warehouse storage, classroom space, and workshop use, as well as a 54' x 75' Morton building used for cold storage and equipment. The original East River Nursery retail store remains on the property as a versatile 30' x 32' storage building, adding both function and a meaningful connection to the history of the business. One of the property’s most distinctive features is the custom-designed 57' x 57' octagonal shade house, created to showcase trees, shrubs, evergreens, and roses. A 10-foot wind fence surrounds the entire shade house, providing protection while creating a unique display and gathering space that could be adapted for many creative uses. The property is supported by a 130-foot-deep well for general water use, Mid-Dakota Rural Water serving the indoor facilities, and a private septic system with drain field. This is far more than a collection of buildings—it is a carefully developed commercial property with decades of thoughtful planning behind it. Whether continuing the respected East River Nursery tradition or bringing an entirely new business concept to life, the visibility, improvements, established grounds, and flexible spaces provide an exceptional foundation for the future. Opportunities of this caliber, in a location this prominent and with infrastructure this complete, rarely become available. Whether you're a passionate gardener, an entrepreneur, or someone looking for a turnkey business with deep roots and a loyal customer base, this is your chance to own a thriving enterprise and a piece of local history.
