I'm delighted to present this sensational opportunity to someone looking for a sea-change and/or a wonderful investment. Offering a large privately-owned site located in the heart of the Southern Forests region, the property has three architect-designed, spacious king bed cabins as well as an architect-designed whisky bar and restaurant, which is currently leased to the owner. There is ample space on the site with power and water to add a further building, such as another cabin, or sea-container-style store or cafe.The offer is for the purchase of the land along with the established luxury short-term holiday accommodation business, as well as the lease which is in place for the onsite restaurant/whisky bar. To the right party, there is an opportunity to buy the restaurant business inc fit out, but that does not form part of this offer.Walk-in businessesThe short-term accommodation business runs online and is app-driven (the current owner lives in Perth) and has been set up to be as automated as possible. Refined over years with proven supply chain - Little Hotelier, Airbnb, Bookings.com, internet, handyman, lawn services, all suppliers. Lock-box code entry (no staff needed to check-in or out). Two ABN-holder cleaners with a third as back up. The current owner receives only a few phone calls a month.
