TUBAC, Ariz., April 17, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- National Commercial Auctioneers [www.natcomauctions.com] announces a sealed-bid auction of The Floating Stone Inn and Aqua Spa, according to Marc Geyer, Regional Director.
"The owner of this next generation wellness center is retiring," said Geyer. "The Floating Stone recently opened just 40 minutes South of Tucson, providing guests with a unique, 21st century spa experience including its enriched water and unique aquatic treatments. There are great expansion opportunities here for a medical rehabilitation spa or corporate retreat."
Located in Tubac, Ariz., the property is an 11-room inn and spa. It includes five, newly constructed, ionized therapy pools. Also adding to the spa experience, is an event center, a retail store, reception area, yoga and massage rooms, bathhouse, laundry/staff room, and an outside gazebo.
"There are two historic homes on site," noted Geyer, "including the 1853 Charles Poston residence. Poston was the founding father of Arizona." Both the homes are listed on the Registry of Historic Buildings and are situated in the Historic District of Tubac.
Of the 11 rooms, 6 are referred to as the Floating Stone Casitas at 24 Burruel Street. Each of these one-bedroom, beautifully furnished suites has its own kitchen, living room, bathroom, private patio, and washer/dryer. They are perfect for longer staying guests and staff housing, and contribute to the privacy and quietude of the main site. There is also room for expansion on this property.
"My passion was to develop an intimate wellness/retreat environment, nestled in an historic and artistic setting, with nature all around," said Linda Ellinor, owner/developer of the property. "I designed the Floating Stone to be the next generation of spas that are chemical and chlorine free, have solar water heating, underground rain water harvesting, and chemical-free treatment of our on-site well. However, I am hearing the call of retirement and am looking to hand over the reins through a sealed-bid auction process."
She added, "A new owner will be able to quickly take advantage of an already operating business and build on the amenities I have developed. Pre-approved plans for expansion include: an additional conference room, owners/managers unit, and 6 additional on-site lodging rooms."
Broker participation is encouraged, and owner-financing is available. The property may be inspected at the Open House on May 3, 2012, from 10am-4pm local time, or by appointment. Bids will be accepted until May 10, 2012 at 3pm cdt. For more details on how to receive the property information package and complete terms visit www.natcomauctions.com or call (877) 895-7077.
