La Mirage, a restaurant and takeaway business in the Caithness village of Helmsdale, on the eastern seaboard of the North Coast 500 tourist route, is now on the market for sale through Graham and Sibbald.
The property occupies a prime corner position in the centre of the village, with a wide and ‘eye-catching’ frontage.
Inside, the business comprises a 40-cover restaurant, plus a takeaway counter. There is also a spacious four-bedroom duplex flat with panoramic sea views – suitable for owner occupation or staff accommodation.
Graham and Sibbald described the property as being in walk-in condition, with a modern commercial kitchen, generous storage/preparation facilities, and a dining space that reflects the venue’s ‘quirky Highland character’.
La Mirage is reportedly renowned for its extensive takeaway menu and friendly atmosphere, drawing both loyal locals and NC500 travellers alike, enabling it to trade profitably all year-round.
With the current owners stepping away to pursue new ventures, G + S suggest that La Mirage now offers ‘an ideal opportunity for a hands-on operator or hospitality group looking to capitalise on the business’s established success and reputation’.
Agent Martin Sutherland said: “La Mirage Restaurant and takeaway is a highly profitable business with year-round trade on the iconic NC500 route.
“The site would be perfect for a hands-on operator or someone looking to invest in the area. We expect there to be significant interest in this opportunity. Viewing is most definitely recommended.”
Graham +Sibbald are asking for offers in the region of £450,000 for the heritable interest of La Mirage.
