A LITTLE TOUCH OF PARADISE
The home is set in sub tropical gardens with an abundance of tropical flora including exotic flowering plants, cute wildlife and a thoroughly entertaining variety of birdlife. These gardens provide total privacy from the cafe and B&B.
The delightful bungalow comprises timbers floors, 2 bedrooms, formal dining, modern kitchen and a wonderful outdoor entertainment area. The relaxing 11.5 metre solar heated pool is a short stroll away. Also included is a two room stand alone building with balcony ideal for an art studio, health retreat.
SKY'S THE LIMIT
With the current owners seeking to retire, the potential for growth is simply staggering. Currently operating only on weekends there is ample opportunity for expanding the trading hours. Blue Poles previously traded successfully four - five days per week including Friday and Saturday nights in summer.
Blue Poles was well known in the region for entertainment including music nights from opera to alternative, theatre and comedy. There is ample scope to reintroduce these nights and further develop these highly lucrative and well supported events.
Blue Poles is an ideal environment for small to medium functions for up to 70 guests. Birthdays, anniversaries, Christmas parties, motoring clubs, bus tours and weddings are all catered for. Weddings are especially suited with the B&B providing the perfect preparation room for the bride, not to mention the ideal honeymoon night. The potential exists to further develop the property as a wedding and function venue.
ROOM FOR EXPANSION
In addition to the cafe gallery Blue Poles has plenty of room for expansion into a significant accommodation venue. Currently the well patronised B&B is a stand alone accommodation facility. In peak periods this is clearly not enough to satisfy demand. An opportunity exists to add to the accommodation with more stand alone studios including development of the existing shed into a family sized bungalow. A previous Development Application was approved for a further B&B. The river paddock of approximately 4 acres could be developed as a camp site especially for bikers who enjoy surrounding picturesque roads.
LIFE ON THE LAND
The property fronts the Thone River and has an 18 megalitre water licence, allowing the opportunity to grow your own produce and expand the already established citrus orchard. Previously the property was a registered organic farm that grew garlic and kiwi fruit. The opportunity to grow cash crops as well as fresh produce for the cafe beckons. The property has six fenced paddocks, (some fences need attention), ideal for chickens, horses or small numbers of livestock.
TURN YOUR DREAM INTO REALITY
Blue Poles presents a wonderful prospect for those seeking to perfect their work / life balance. Conveniently located midway between Sydney and Brisbane with arguably Australia's best climate. If you're looking for an owner/operator lifestyle we strongly urge you to arrange an inspection and be completely captivated.
Well trained casual staff will remain and vendors are committed to assist with a smooth handover and transition.
