When you think of your ultimate Tasmanian property wishlist I'm sure it includes waterfront location, modern construction, acreage and close proximity to some of Australia's leading restaurants.
Pelican Point Sanctuary is this property.
And so much more. Not only does 170 Binalong Bay Road, St Helens boast a fabulous waterfront location but also:
- 87 fertile acres of land on the way and creeks
- 7 substantial homes (making 9 accommodation options)
- Fresh water creeks
- Dams
- 9 hole golf course
- Council approved RV park
- Private salt water fishing creek (with huge oysters)
- An abundance of bird life
- Well established paddocks with electric fences (have run up to 78 head of cattle)
- Good hay paddocks
- Elaborate irrigation system
- Walking paths to the shoreline
- One of the finest positions in all of St Helens
Pelican Point Sanctuary was built to enable the current owner to have a retreat from his busy life. When he visits he comes to relax - and he has created a true sanctuary for his family to enjoy. With kayaks on the pond the kids splash, the parents have a round of golf and then of an afternoon everyone gathers in the home to watch the sun go down over the bay. It's a very special location and it's able to be shared with friends and family.
To cover the costs of their holiday retreat, the owners chose to establish Pelican Point Sanctuary and share the joys of their property with guests. Operating since 2015 guests have enjoyed impeccable accommodation of the finest standard. Large, open homes constructed with the highest quality materials and positioned to be private from other guests yet enjoying water views over the property - each accommodation option is oppulent and very highly regarded.
With just 7 accommodation options available 10 months of each year, there is scope to expand the business even further if you wish. The current owner runs the business gently and chooses not to pay for advertising nor open 12 months of the year which allows their staff to have well earned time off.
With an expected gross yield of 8.5% if operating year round, the returns are evident.
Of course, if you prefer the quiet lifestyle and wish to simply let each home on a permanent basis this would make an incredible housing estate.
With all the infrastructure in place, and all the money spent to make the property run smoothly and fuss free this is an enviable purchase that should be given serious consideration.
I would be delighted to show you through this property so please be in touch personally by phone or email to arrange a suitable time. In the meantime, please view the video walk through.
