The Dolan House - in Historic Lincoln New Mexico

Lincoln, NM Offered for sale at $629,000

Are you ready for a safer, quieter life with less stress and no crime? Only 50 people live in Lincoln. Cost of living is significantly less expensive in this rural setting. Work from home, run a business in the home (as we have been doing), raise a family, or retire. Ride with real cowboys who work and live in the area. We ran a small restaurant, had two rooms as a gift shop and one rooms for a B&B. If you didn't want to run the restaurant and gift shop there would be 4 bedrooms for B&B's. All restaurant equipment, pizza oven, milk shake machine, dishes, pots and pans are all included in the sale. All you need to do is get your licenses and hang the OPEN sign and you are ready for business. There is NO place to eat in Lincoln or Fort Stanton which is only 9 miles from Lincoln. Going east from Lincoln the next place to eat is Roswell, New Mexico - 65 miles away. There is lots of room to do special events and weddings. This is a great opportunity.

Live in a historic place made famous by Billy the Kid, Pat Garret, Jimmy Dolan, and others involved in the Lincoln County War in 1878. You can also actively participate in the annual reenactment of the Escape of Billy the Kid from the Lincoln County Courthouse – the first full weekend of August.
