Remember the kind of general store Mum and Dad used to send you down to for a pound of butter, loaf of bread and let you keep the change for a milkshake and bag of mixed lollies when you were a kid? Where the shopkeeper knew you by name, asked how Nan and Pop were and snuck you a few lollies with a wink. Well here is the opportunity to reopen such a shop and live on-site, in the charming rural township of Winnaleah, just 14km from the World renowned Blue Derby Mountain Bike trails.
The shop space (approx. 14m x 6m) is a large open plan room with street frontage that is currently not operating. While previously used as a general store, it would suit a variety of commercial ventures or could potentially be converted into further accommodation (STCA). Behind it sits an accompanying storeroom and office which lend themselves to be further bedrooms to the residence if required.
The residence behind features a light filled open plan kitchen/living/dining room, all heated by a freestanding wood heater as well as a reverse cycle air conditioner (with an additional A/C in the shop). One bedroom (or 3 if you convert the store rooms) with BIR, separate bathroom, toilet and laundry.
Now – here is the exciting bit.. Outside there is more accommodation! Just metres from the back door and with its own verandah there is a separate 2 bedroom bungalow with an entrance area big enough to add its own bathroom (STCA). Talk about bang for your buck.
The garden is fully fenced and tastefully landscaped with a single car garage as well as carport.
The township of Winnaleah features a Post Office, district school, hotel, merchandise store and swimming pool. There is currently no “general store” in Winnaleah.
Winnaleah is 105km from Launceston, 38km from Scottsdale, “the service hub” of North East Tasmania and only 14km from Derby, the home of the world renowned “Blue Derby” Mountain Bike Trails.
According to local Council (Dorset) who track numbers, 30,000 visitors rode the trails last year and approximately 50,000 are expected next year. Tourism is booming in NE Tassie with internationally ranked class golf courses, wineries and MTB trails on our doorstep. There is a growing demand for a variety of tourism related businesses as well as regular town businesses to support the increasing population of support staff working in the tourism industry.
