Own a piece of Field of Dreams history! This classic “building” that dates from 1860 is actually five buildings (2 brick, 2 limestone, one metal) that interconnect, containing over 18,000 SqFt of commercial and residential. Two modern, beautiful, large (1,796 SF/1,250 SF) leased apartments (each via its own staircase) offer stunning views of the Maquoketa River and the world famous Basilica of St. Francis Xavier. Located just a block from Dyersville’s quaint downtown, it also houses the Baseball Hall of Dreams (co-owned by Field of Dreams actor Dwier Brown) and the If You Build It exhibit, celebrating the making of the film in 1988. These two museums are a popular tourist attraction in Dyersville along with the Field of Dreams, only 5 minutes away. A 3rd Ave. street level space (1,116 SF) has high ceilings, great potential signage and excellent corner store appeal. The main parking level opens with several overhead doors to the Maquoketa and would provide excellent riverfront dining and a tubing livery. Also on the river/parking level are four adjacent, connected spaces of rustic limestone that are ideal for a restaurant/bar (restaurant ideas available). It was built in 1860 as a brewery and features two spectacular limestone caverns (an additional 2,256 SF) accessed only through this building, and on adjacent City-owned land, that were originally used to store beer (and could be again!) There is also a well in the lower level that was used in the brewing process. The attached metal structure (4,000 SF, circa 1954) features three full-sized loading docks and could be used as a sports center (pitching machines and drawings already on site). Ample parking for 30 vehicles. Dwier Brown and his historic property rehab partner David Feigin were both personally involved in the recent $1,000,000 rehab of the building. The recent success of MLB games at the Field of Dreams, along with the location, quality and square footage of this property make it a potential gold mine!
