Great Marsh Brewing Company, at 99 & 103 Main Street in Essex, Massachusetts, is a rare opportunity to acquire a fully equipped restaurant and brewery complex on Cape Ann. Constructed between 2017-2019 to the highest standards, the property combines a premier dining venue, a modern production brewery, and an adjacent parcel with expansion potential.
The centerpiece is an 11,799 sq. ft. two-story building featuring a 223-seat restaurant with floor-to-ceiling windows, a full commercial kitchen, expansive bar, and an outdoor deck with 270-degree views of the Essex River and surrounding marshes. The first level houses a 30hl BrauKon brewhouse with production, canning, refrigerated storage, and a taproom designed for direct customer engagement.
At 103 Main Street, a 1,498 sq. ft. building, with a marsh-side beer garden, was partially renovated and a new outdoor patio/dining area was constructed in 2022. With over an acre of land, this parcel offers exciting opportunities for expanded dining, events, brewery operations, or third-party rental income.
Together, the properties total 13,297 sq. ft. on 1.8 acres, with 52 striped surface parking spaces and extensive infrastructure built for food and beverage use. All furniture, fixtures, and equipment (FF&E) convey with the sale, providing a turnkey foundation for continued restaurant and brewery operations.
Situated in downtown Essex, a North Shore destination celebrated for seafood, antiques, and year-round tourism, the property benefits from strong visitor traffic and proximity to Route 128, Ipswich, Gloucester, and Manchester-by-the-Sea.
