101 N Main St 8,630 SF Retail Building Waynesville, NC 28786 $1,923,135 CAD ($222.84 CAD/SF)

Step into a piece of Waynesville history with this remarkable downtown retail property, originally built in 1910 and most recently home to the beloved Minted Mercantile. Rich with character and authenticity, the building captures the feeling of an old mountain general store — the kind of place that once served as the center of commerce and community in Western North Carolina.
From the moment you enter, the space evokes another era, when downtown storefronts were gathering places filled with conversation, craftsmanship, and discovery. Massive display windows flood the main showroom with natural light, highlighting the tall ceilings, open retail floor, and timeless architectural details that are increasingly hard to find.
The property features two levels, including a daylight basement with direct rear customer access, creating flexibility for retail, gallery, showroom, hospitality, or mixed-use concepts. With its historic charm, inviting atmosphere, and prime downtown presence, this is a rare opportunity to own a true legacy property in the heart of one of North Carolina’s most celebrated mountain town. Property includes rear parking lot known as 147 Preservation Way.
