About this home
Now's your chance to own one of East Orleans' most iconic properties! Once home to the beloved Kadee's Lobster & Clam Bar, a bustling fish market, a welcoming gift shop, and the ever-popular Apple Grove Mini Golf, this unforgettable property is ready for its next chapter. At the heart of it all is the original family home, which later became Kadee's Gray Elephant Inn, offering classic Cape charm with a storybook past. Spanning 1.79 acres across three parcels—212, 214, and 216 Main Street—the property currently features a main building divided into seven apartments. Any plans to maintain the apartments will require town approval. Town sewer is at the street and expected to be ready for tie-in by January 2026. Whether you're looking to revive a treasured local landmark or bring a fresh new vision to life—think hospitality, housing, or something wonderfully unexpected—this prime East Orleans location offers high visibility, ample on-site parking (a rare gem!).
