Ray White Mt Gambier is pleased to present 13 Dismal Swamp Road, Dismal Swamp, for sale.
This property presents a unique investment opportunity for a community group, council, school, leadership weekend, retreat or perhaps a winery looking for somewhere to accommodate seasonal workers. The building consists of two separate two-bedroom apartments and ten separate accommodations with male and female toilet and shower facilities sitting centrally between them. These facilities are equipped with toilets, sinks, showers and change rooms and are fitted with reverse-cycle units. Perfect for school camps, sports camps, leadership weekends, retreat and group activity weekends - the property could be utilised in various ways. It accesses Telford Conservation Park at the rear, making it ideal for walking enthusiasts, naturalists and yoga or wellbeing retreats.
The property is accessed immediately off Riddoch Highway. The driveway is immaculate, and you won't miss the exceptionally intricate central hedge display. A striking magnolia tree sits within this astonishing landscaped feature and can be viewed from the second-story apartments.
The ground floor offers a huge hall with a beautiful wood-burning fireplace set into the brickwork that takes your breath away. It sits beside a timber hutch, perfect for storing wood and adding charm to the space.
The room is completely set up for functions, community groups, camps and events. It offers a media space for presentations and has a large commercial kitchen that is equipped to serve lots of hungry guests and visitors. Cookers and dishwashing equipment are all included in the sale.
The kitchen benefits from two separate butler's pantries/storerooms and has a drop-down wall that opens to serve buffet-style breakfasts and dinners.
The ten rooms and the communal toilets sit behind the kitchen, separated by an outdoor hall space.
The two apartments are located upstairs and are a mirror image. Each comprises one double and one single room. The double rooms benefit from built-in robes and are comforted with ceiling fans. All bedrooms are carpeted.
The main living areas consist of an open kitchen, dining and lounge room. Apartment one overlooks the front of the property, and the loungeroom opens onto a large balcony. Apartment two overlooks the rear of the property and the national park and also boasts a large balcony to take it all in.
The kitchen offers a dishwasher, a wall oven with an electric cooktop, a single sink, and timber cabinetry. The kitchen and the dining area offer vinyl flooring for ease of cleaning, while the loungeroom is carpeted. The entire space is comforted with large reverse-cycle air-conditioning units.
Each apartment has a bathroom that is conveniently accessible from both bedrooms. It has a shower and a basin. The toilet is separate for privacy and convenience and leads off of the lounge room.
The ground floor accommodation includes a storeroom and a laundry. Each room is currently separate but could be combined to create larger spaces. The property could also be renovated to become a modern nature retreat that could attract income from hiring the space as a camp experience for schools and community groups.
The property has multiple outbuildings, including two large sheds with secure car spaces. There are wood stores, LG solar panels with CHEM battery storage (9.8KWh/63 Ah), a large rainwater tank and lots of room to build (STCA). Multiple play areas and vegetable plots can evolve at the buyer's discretion.
The wildlife here is astounding. Birdlife, koalas, echidnas, kangaroos and all manner of native flora and fauna can be experienced from within the property.
This is an incredibly unique investment opportunity with too many possibilities to list. If you're a sporting or recreation group, a Rotary club, a school, a winery, a wellbeing centre - or have a dream of establishing a business in the Limestone Coast/Coonawarra - this is a must-see property.
