Property Overview
This property offers a highway-oriented motel opportunity on the west side of Shaunavon, just off the junction of Highways 13 and 37. The site is improved with a 24-room, single-storey motel, an attached owner/manager's living quarters, front office and reception area, and a detached garage. The main motel improvements were originally constructed around 1981, with an addition to the living quarters and garage added around 1995. The location provides convenient access and visibility for transient, work crew, or longer-stay accommodation use.
Building Information
The motel building contains approximately 8,885 sq. ft. of guest room and common area space, together with roughly 1,175 sq. ft. of office and attached living quarters, for a total building area of about 10,060 sq. ft. Guest accommodation is arranged in a linear format and benefits from an internal hallway connecting the rooms, front office area, and related spaces. This interior circulation is a notable feature, as it may support a broader range of future uses than a typical exterior-access motel layout, including staff housing, extended-stay lodging, supportive living, or other care-related and institutional style uses, subject to buyer due diligence, municipal requirements, zoning, and any licensing or regulatory approvals. Four of the rooms are configured in a more suite-style format with added kitchen facilities for extended-stay use. The attached living quarters include a kitchen, living area, bedrooms, bathroom, and an addition currently used as a bedroom/office space. A detached two-car garage adds further storage or utility space on site.
Site Information
The property consists of two adjoining parcels totalling 2.17 acres, with a larger main parcel of approximately 1.85 acres and a second parcel of about 0.32 acres. The site includes asphalt parking and circulation immediately around the building, with additional gravelled and grassed areas beyond. Its position across from a Co-op gas station, convenience store, and liquor store supports the property's traditional highway commercial use and offers practical convenience for future guests or occupants.
Condition / Damage Notes
The improvements appear functional in overall layout, but the property shows its age and would benefit from updating and repair. Interior finishes throughout the guest rooms and living quarters are generally dated, with visible wear to flooring, trim, bathrooms, and fixtures. Buyers should expect deferred maintenance in several areas, including moisture staining, worn finishes, older equipment, and repairs or recommissioning work before the property is returned to regular hospitality or alternative use. Overall, this should be viewed as a property with redevelopment, renovation, and repositioning potential rather than a recently modernized turn-key operation.
Property Information
With a large in-town site, direct highway access, and an existing motel configuration, the property presents an opportunity for a buyer looking to restore, repurpose, or reposition a hospitality asset in southwest Saskatchewan. The property is currently not heated; however, the water lines were reportedly drained by the property manager, and the same party has carefully monitored the property through the past winter. While buyers should still complete their own inspections and due diligence regarding mechanical systems and overall building condition, this ongoing oversight is a helpful factor in understanding the recent care of the property. The existing mix of standard guest rooms, extended-stay style rooms, onsite management quarters, and detached garage space offers flexibility for continued lodging use or other permitted commercial applications.
