Location, Location, Location
This site has it all. Beautiful affluent mountain community close to Skiing, Hiking, Camping and Boating. One hour from Sacramento and one and one-half hours from Reno. Business property is on a very busy highway (50,000 cars per day). Property has 300 fee of highway frontage.
Presently two people work part time, the doctor and his wife who work 4.5 days per week (8:30-3:00). Currently the only veterinary facility in the southerly direction from Grass Valley, however new clients are received daily. Except for a small yellow pages ad no advertising has been utilized yet the practice has grown rapidly from client referral and highway exposure. A strong relationship with local animal welfare groups has provided a constant stream of new clients. Present fees are among the lowest in the area and payments are accepted by checks or cash only. Advertising, increased fees and payment flexibility are definite programs for expansion. The doctor participates in local emergency coverage once bi-weekly but could take more if desired.

The building was formerly a restaurant for 30 years but has been upgraded to meet current building codes including a new electrical panel, mains and breakers. The front of the building facing the highway has new fireproof, rot proof and bug proof siding, new building insulation (for noise), new building sheathing and Tyvek.
