1713 165th St 4,368 SF Specialty Building Offered at $963,610 CAD in Manchester, IA 52057

This is a rare opportunity to acquire an **established, operating event business** in eastern Iowa, offered turnkey with a forward calendar of booked events, transferable contracts, a recognized brand, and the full inventory needed to run it from day one. For an investor or owner-operator, the hard part is already done: the space is built out, the reputation is established, and the bookings are on the calendar.
The business operates out of a purpose-built **34 x 70, two-story event barn** with a classic round-top design that opens the entire upper level into a clear, unobstructed space seating **up to 250 guests**, with room for **50 more outdoors**. Large doors open on both ends, two walkout decks overlook the grounds, and it comes equipped with sound systems on each level, a flat-screen for photos and video, three indoor restrooms, a caterer's kitchen, and a chair lift to the upper level. A separate, heated and air conditioned building houses a **private bridal suite**, a groom's lounge with its own bar, a break area, and a kids' area, everything an event host needs on site.
The property that supports the business sits on **2.3 beautifully kept acres** framed by mature maple trees, with a two-level patio, firepit, and an 18-foot grain-bin gazebo creating a setting where the ceremony, reception, and every photo happen in one place. Parking accommodates roughly 80 vehicles with front-door drop-off.
Adding to the value, a **2,288 square foot ranch home** sits on the property, three bedrooms, two baths, an updated kitchen, newer HVAC, a 2022 roof, and an oversized two-car garage. For a business owner it is a genuine asset: on-site owner housing, lodging for wedding parties, or an additional income stream on non-event nights. The property can also be owner-occupied as a primary residence for a buyer who wants to live where they work.
Established, well maintained, and thoughtfully equipped, this is a turnkey event business with an operating history, a booked calendar, and clear room to grow.
