About this property
Own the Historic 1900 Alder Schoolhouse! A rare opportunity to own one of Eatonville's most recognizable landmarks. Originally built in 1900 as the Alder Schoolhouse, this iconic property blends historic charm with outstanding commercial potential just moments from beautiful Alder Lake. Enjoy lake views and a prime location within walking distance to the Alder grocery store and public boat launch. Situated on Mountain Highway (SR-7), the primary route to Mount Rainier National Park, the property offers exceptional visibility and exposure to year-round tourism, including campers, boaters, anglers, hikers, and local residents. Whether you envision a café, brewery, boutique retail shop, gallery, event venue, vacation rental, professional office, or outdoor recreation business, this commercially zoned property offers endless possibilities. Rich in character and history, the original schoolhouse provides a setting that simply can't be replicated. Commercial properties with this combination of historic significance, lake views, prime location, and investment potential rarely become available. Preserve a treasured piece of Alder's history while bringing your vision to life in one of Pierce County's premier recreation destinations.
