WHO IS THIS FOR?
The buyer we're looking for is someone who:
- Wants a quiet, off-grid-style lifestyle with cash flow
- Is ready to escape the city grind
- Has the means to secure finance (or a strong deposit)
- Is open to hosting guests, running events, or just living peacefully in paradise
FINANCE NOTE
We initially marketed the property based on its strong Airbnb income and while that's a real and proven stream, most lenders won't count it upfront.
Because that income would technically be your new income (not historical income on your tax return), banks don't factor it in straight away.
So even though the property performs well as a short-term rental, buyers need to structure their finance on standard residential terms, using either long-term rental figures or personal income.
If you've got a strong deposit or income, it's definitely financeable but it's not your everyday deal. It's a unique setup and needs to be treated that way.
WHY THIS PROPERTY?
Live here. Earn here. Grow something beautiful.
