The Roseboro

Resort Hotel with Acreage

Sharon Springs, NY

$1,200,000

The Roseboro Hotel, located on Main Street in the historic village of Sharon Springs, is an architectural gem from a golden era.

Beginning as three separate structures built in three different decades and adjoined over time, this one-of-a-kind property has served as a key piece of the fabric of Sharon Springs for well over a hundred years! Beginning as early boarding houses and private residences, these walls have contained the village’s first post office, a classroom for private school lessons, a millinery shop, a bar - all leading to the creation of a stunning, 45,000 square foot luxury hotel, architecturally unifying the the buildings with additions and unifying them.

The expansive hotel is just the beginning: a 28-room building behind the hotel, a 4-bedroom Victorian house and barn, and a 10-acre adjacent lot are included.

This property comes with three parcels.  Lot 1 includes the hotel, which had 135 guest rooms at one time, a large 28-room building behind the hotel which has great apartment or condo potential; a four-bedroom Victorian house and barn next door to the hotel; and a 10-acre lot adjacent to the hotel, 14 acres in total.

The hotel has been stabilized and restoration is well underway!

After decades as a preeminent resort hotel in Sharon Springs during its heyday as a health spa destination famous for its mineral waters, the hotel sat vacant after closing in 1968. Stabilization and restoration efforts began in the 1990s. The building was originally built on whiskey barrels filled with concrete! After several years, stabilization was complete. Restoration efforts continue today.

Stepping into the hotel is like stepping back in time. The original lobby and front desk, 1930s Otis elevator, and stately ballroom with crystal chandeliers remain.

This is a significant opportunity to create a unique hospitality offering in the booming upstate New York market and it’s waiting for an enterprising hotelier to bring it back to life!

There are endless possibilities for this significant piece of Sharon Springs history. The first and second floors of the hotel are currently perfect for retail space and the additional buildings and acreage allow for a variety of dream scenarios to come to life. This could be what you’ve been searching for.
