Sweetland Garden Mercantile 29435 CA-49 Hwy 2 000 pi² Commerce de détail Immeuble North San Juan, CA 95960 949 262 $ CAD (474,63 $ CAD/pi²)

Sweetland Garden Mercantile is a well-established garden and hardware retail operation serving Nevada County's rural mountain communities since 2006. The business occupies a modern 2,000 SF retail building constructed in 2018 and sits on two parcels, one commercial-zoned, one Residential-Agricultural, giving a buyer flexibility for both operations and potential owner-occupancy. The owner is retiring after nearly two decades and is willing to carry a portion of the purchase price for a qualified buyer.

The defining characteristic of this business is its market position: there is no direct competition within 15 miles. Customers from five surrounding mountain communities rely on Sweetland for hardware, garden supplies, nursery stock, and specialty items they would otherwise need to drive 30+ minutes to find. That captive trade area has been compounding for 19 years.

Sweetland serves a dual customer base, residential homeowners and backyard farmers from the surrounding foothill communities, and commercial cannabis cultivators with recurring supply needs. Product mix includes garden supplies, nursery stock, hardware, power equipment, cannabis cultivation supplies, and locally handcrafted gifts. Staff bring genuine expertise in food gardening, fruit trees, and cannabis cultivation, and the business runs seasonal events and classes that reinforce long-term customer loyalty.

The 2,000 SF retail building was constructed in 2018 and is well-configured for retail and distribution. The site includes a loading dock, office and storage room, ADA-compliant restroom, central HVAC, commercial well, two sewer hookups, fire hydrant, fully fenced yard, and two large storage shelters. The Residential-Agricultural parcel provides the option to add owner housing, well suited for a buyer seeking a live-work rural lifestyle business.

Asking price is $684,000, ($585,000 for the real estate and $99,000 for the business), with inventory transferred separately at cost. Owner financing is available for qualified buyers. Financials are available upon request with a signed NDA. Property is located at 29435 State Highway 49, North San Juan, CA, 15 miles to Grass Valley, 30 miles to Auburn, 60 miles to Sacramento.
