Remarks

Shakespeare Chateau Inn & Gardens is a landmark Gilded Age estate on St. Joseph's historic Hall Street and one of the Midwest’s most architecturally significant properties. Built in 1885, this Chateauesque masterpiece has changed hands only a handful of times in over 140 years and remains extraordinarily intact. Named Best Bed & Breakfast in St. Joseph 2026, the property has operated as a thriving destination inn, wedding, and event venue for over 14 years. The commercial offering conveys a proven hospitality platform: six guest suites, formal gathering rooms, commercial kitchen, wine cellar, and nearly two acres of grounds with 5-star reviews, a recognized brand, and immediate revenue continuity. Original features include 47 stained-glass windows, hand-carved woodwork in cherry, mahogany, oak, and walnut, ornate plaster ceilings, encaustic tile flooring, and period chandeliers. Among its most significant assets is the rare Zuber panoramic wallpaper "Eldorado," circa 1920, whose counterparts are held at the White House. The carriage house offers three apartments for staff housing, extended-stay, or rental income. The companion structure at 819 Hall Street is stripped to the studs within a preserved historic envelope, ready for a restaurant, café, gallery, or additional lodging, subject to approvals. Offering includes real estate, most furnishings, FF&E, and business assets. Select personal property addressed separately.
