It\u2019s showtime for a\u00a0drive-in movie theater<\/a> in Skowhegan, ME<\/a>. The nostalgic but updated screening venue is available for $439,000, and it\u2019s ready for its close-up.<\/p>\n

The 11-acre property, operating as Skowhegan Drive-In Theatre, features both a drive-in movie setup and concession stand.\u00a0While the facility is still going strong as a drive-in, the acreage presents some options for the next owner.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt could be sub-dividable,\u201d says listing agent Mark Michaud<\/strong>, of Rizzo Mattson Realtors. \u201cIt\u2019s located right on a major thoroughfare and gets a lot of traffic. It is zoned for general commercial.\u201d<\/p>\n

He adds that\u00a0any new business ideas for the land would need to be approved.<\/p>\n

Michaud says there has been quite a bit of interest already in the property.<\/p>\n

\u201cMost people want to keep it as a movie theater, but the 11 acres are prime real estate,\u201d he notes. \u201cWe would love to see it continue as a movie theater, but a hardware store, tractor supply, or landscape company could certainly put the acreage to good use.\u201d<\/p>\n

The theater was updated with a new furnace, water heater, and fire suppression system in 2013.<\/p>\n

And the venue\u2019s screening capabilities got an industry-standard digital upgrade, and the concession stand was renovated, Michaud says.<\/p>\n

In addition to projecting first-run movies, \u201clike the \u2018Super Mario Bros. Movie,’\u201d the drive-in hosts a weekly flea market on Saturdays, Michaud says.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt just started up and has been a success so far,\u201d he reports.<\/p>\n

With a capacity of 350, the property could work as a performance space for music events and other types of entertainment.<\/p>\n

\u201cI assume a developer would know what they want to do with it, and they just need to get the right approvals,\u201d Michaud adds. \u201cI think commercial is the best use for it.\u201d<\/p>\n
