Looking for a Commercial or Mixed-Use Property? Located in the heart of historic Volcano, this extraordinary property offers a rare opportunity for investors, entrepreneurs, or visionaries seeking a distinctive commercial or mixed-use asset rich in Gold Rush history. Known as the former Bavarian Brewery, the approximately 3,100 sq. ft. building was extensivelly renovated in 1994 and sits on a .29-acre lot in the town center and has served both residential and commercial purposes over the years. With C-1 zoning, the property offers exceptional flexibility for retail, gallery, office, hospitality, tasting room, live/work space, or other boutique business ventures. Adding to the potential, the adjacent .32-acre corner lot is also available separately and is the last vacant C-1 zoned lot in downtown Volcano. It is also the only remaining vacant lot in town with a paid-for water connection and active service from the Volcano Community Services District. Dating back more than 150 years, the historic structure features original 24-inch-thick stone walls, iron shutters, and remarkable craftsmanship that has endured through generations. Owned by the same family for over 60 years, the property blends historic character with thoughtful modern upgrades. Currently configured as a residence with 2 bedrooms, 2 full baths, office/den space, guest accommodations, and multiple flexible-use areas, the building can easily adapt to commercial or mixed-use purposes. The original stone brewery area now serves as a dramatic living/family room and can be opened to the public through the original iron doors facing the town center. Warm wood interiors, expansive windows, and seamless indoor-outdoor flow create an inviting atmosphere throughout. The kitchen and dining areas open to enchanting gardens with mature landscaping, stone pathways, and peaceful outdoor spaces. Subtle Japanese-inspired design elements add unique architectural character. Modern amenities include dual-zone HVAC, multiple heating options, tankless water heaters, a whole-house generator, wheelchair-accessible entrances, an attached carport with EV charging capability, and a separate storage outbuilding. With its prime downtown location, commercial zoning, rich history, and unmatched flexibility, this is a truly rare legacy property in one of the Sierra Foothills’ most charming and historic communities.
