221 N Main ST

Searching for a historic bed and breakfast for sale near Charlotte, NC or Lake Wylie, SC? Magnolia House and Gardens at 221 N Main Street in Clover, South Carolina has been a landmark since it was built in 1890 — remaining in the same family for over 100 years before its current owner purchased it in 2006 and transformed it into the only lodging destination in Clover and one of the most beloved 5-star rated bed and breakfasts in the greater Charlotte and Lake Wylie region.
Now offered for sale for the first time since 2006, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a fully owner-operated, income-producing historic property that is completely turnkey — furnished, operational, and ready to transfer without interrupting a single booking.
Arrive and you immediately understand why guests return. A covered front porch sets the tone the moment you reach the top of the stairs. Step right and you enter a screened porch that wraps the entire front of the home — then follow it through a screen door onto a garden pathway leading directly to the koi pond and cleared rear grounds. This is not just a home. It is a curated arrival experience from the first step.
Inside, 3,150 square feet of irreplaceable 1890 character unfolds — soaring ceilings, original hardwood floors, a large formal dining room, and generous living spaces that have welcomed guests for over a decade. Five bedrooms and three full baths are arranged across two levels. The main level hosts a private primary suite with sitting area and full bath — a natural owner's retreat completely independent from the four guest rooms upstairs. A laundry room, mudroom, and wide entry complete the main floor.
Upstairs, every window frames a 20-year curated arborist's garden — mature magnolias and towering trees that wrap the property in complete natural privacy in the heart of Clover.
Outside, 2.57 acres open into a cleared event lawn that can served as the backdrop for an untapped potential hosting small weddings and venues — with a wooded rear lot offering expansion potential for parking, outdoor structures, or extended event space. A detached two-car garage and charming potting shed complete the grounds. City water. City sewer. Central heat and air. No HOA. No CCRs.
This is a fully transferable business. Guest rooms are fully outfitted — linens, bedding, robes, and towels all convey. Most furniture, décor, and operating items convey as well. The current owner will personally train the new owner on operations, breakfast recipes, and garden care. Financials available to qualified buyers upon request.
Clover is one of the fastest growing communities in York County at over 2.5% annually. Magnolia House and Gardens is the only lodging in town — and the only 5-star rated bed and breakfast for sale in the Lake Wylie and greater Charlotte area.
