Queenstown TAS 7467

This magnificent premises has had a long and rich history as a healing center here on the West Coast district of Tasmania.

When you enter the property what you will feel is an instant feeling of calm.
There are 3 separate buildings with approximately 4000 plus square meters of undercover building.
In 1966 the 2 story nurses home was constructed. There are 20 rooms established throughout this beautiful building, and with a dash of inspiration you will see the potential for luxury accommodation. Along with the 20 rooms you will find all the essential facilities to accommodate guests, and multiple large windows that let in plenty of natural light, while also providing some of the best Northern views that Queenstown can offer. The cherry on top is the further potential to add a third story, allowing the construction of a roof top caf.

Now that we are warmed up, it's time to get into star attraction which is the former hospital building itself.

Upon entry to the grand building, you will be taken back in time with its beautiful art deco design. At every turn your breath will be taken away, but with such a large building where do we start? Leading up the grand staircase to the top floor where real timber has been used. Just like the nurses quarters, the top level offers an assortment of rooms which could expand the luxury accommodation potential, or even a conversion to a retirement village, or a training center for future apprentices in many trades. The long hallways give a sense of days gone, and will ultimately provide a scope to how large this building is, and the surprises it contains around every corner.
You could even turn this grand place back into a fully functioning hospital. All water pipe work throughout is made from solid copper tubing and the grand old building has copper gutters and down pipes. You could even harvest rainwater and bottle it as here is the cleanest air and cleanest water in the world. All the essential rooms are still located throughout such as the theatre, consolation rooms, commercial kitchen and much more! Renovations have also taken place to provide multiple self-contained units, perfect for those wanting to collect an instant income.

Along with all these rooms, a large separate workshop provides ample space to construct, store, or maybe a bike repair station of sorts. With such a large space the potential is unlimited, if you've got the imagination to do so!

Your breathe will be taken away walking around the beautiful gardens the property has to offer. A definite treat for your eyes in every direction you look, especially when the many rhododendrons are in bloom. As you get deep into the gardens the large selection of native trees tower over the walkways, giving the feeling of seclusion, and peace. The keen explorer may even stumble into a secret garden!
The real hidden treasure is a World War II bunker which was covered many years ago, there is no telling the surprises you will find inside for those who wish to uncover its secrets! Last but not least the property can be accessed by two private driveways, and provides ample car parking space with a helicopter pad!

We have many prospective buyers asking if now is a good time to get into the Queenstown market. While we have had a big increase in median prices, we are far off from the tip of the iceberg. With so many ways your investment potential could be fulfilled with this beautiful historic building, the future of the West Coast is shining bright, and the time to get in is now!
