HISTORIC PRESERVATION REIMAGINED!

118 N Mesquite St Las Cruces, NM 88001

1 / 24

Overview

This is an extraordinary historically preserved property with numerous unique features and characteristics. Located in the Mesquite Historic District, the original townsite of Las Cruces, and in the Arts and Cultural District, this property was restored with incredible attention to detail.  You'll be amazed at the overall quality of the restoration. The most unique elements of the preservation include but are not limited to original light fixtures above the gas fireplace from the original restoration being in place from the original construction, original windows being renovated and restored, and the enhancement of the original stone. The entire electrical system both internal and external has been upgraded to full commercial grade and in compliance with all codes.  All the lighting packages both internal and external have been upgraded and offer unique dimming capability to enhance the customer experience. The original structure was built in 1940. A full-scale state-of-the-art commercial kitchen, bar, and walk in wine closet was constructed in 2020. Separate HVAC systems are in place for the dining area and kitchen areas. The wine rack system has its own min-split cooling system. An extensive equipment inventory is offered with the property for the benefit of the kitchen operation.  2023 brought further renovations to the property in terms of an extensive expansion of an outdoor patio space and bar that is almost 1000 SQFT of space under roof. No attention to detail was missed in terms of lighting options, drainage, outdoor heaters, and outdoor cooling and vent systems. Both the interior and exterior areas have a high-quality sound system in place.  A significant value-added proposition exists with an additional land area that can be converted for additional private event space or dining areas if desired. A residential apartment could allow for creative use of space. An 8 ft X 10 ft cellar found in the main building and covered storage behind the residential apartment offer additional storage space.  If you are truly looking to craft a destination experience for your customers, you cannot beat the location dynamics and unique elements in place. It sits in the original southerly pass of El Camino Real de Tierra Adentro and due east of the revitalized Main Street Downtown District. The ease of access and overall centralization off of other major streets and roadways makes it very attractive in addition. The location is at the front doorstep of Klein Park and directly adjacent to the "Bean" coffee shop and La Nueva Casita Cafe. This is truly an opportunity to own a value-added asset.
