Property Description
One-of-a-kind opportunity in Helmer, to own the iconic and well-known Wild Things (formerly known as the Helmer Café and Store!) This is the only business in town (and for miles), making it a longstanding staple with a strong local presence and good track record. Set up as a turnkey restaurant, the property includes all furniture, fixtures, a walk-in cooler, and bar—ready for its next chapter. Fantastic visibility from the road, a highly visible storefront, and plenty of parking make it an easy stop for both locals and travelers heading into Idaho's year-round outdoor recreation. There's also flexibility here, Latah County has approved a Conditional Use Permit allowing conversion to a single-family residence. Buyers will need to work with Planning & Building to finalize occupancy if going that route, but the groundwork is in place. A rare chance to own something truly unique with history, presence, and potential.
