Historic Knob Lick General Store - Commercial RE Auction

Here is your chance to own a piece of Knob Lick history - a rare opportunity that only comes along once in a generation. The Knob Lick General Store at 5959 Highway DD has been the heartbeat of this tight-knit St. Francois County community for over a century. Built in 1920, this iconic 0.14-acre commercial property sits at a high-traffic location on Route DD just east of U.S. Route 67 - eight miles south of Farmington - putting it in front of steady daily traffic from the surrounding community and beyond. This is a turnkey commercial property - most store equipment stays with the purchase, so whoever wins the bid walks in ready to operate. The property also features an adjoining building currently leased to the Federal Government as the Knob Lick Post Office under an active 5-year lease agreement through September 2027, with the rental rate negotiable for a new 5-year contract upon renewal -- providing steady supplemental rental income. Knob Lick is one of the original communities in St. Francois County, with roots going back to the county's founding in 1821.
