When this home was built back in 1871 by Ted Arnold , it was the talk of the town ,and nobody would have known that it would still be standing and fully restored more than 140 years later ! The Southgate Hotel opened its doors by the first Liscencee Therese Berry until 1874 ,wth a succession of other liscencees up to 1955 when Mr Beer bought the hotel as a private residence.Still today this is the only single story timber pub remaining on the north coast. 56 years later the home is for sale again after extensive renovation including new piers to make the home flood free , wiring , new roof (including insulation) and painting. Still today original fittings can be seen throughout including the brace on the front door to keep the place secure , in its hey-day there would always be the call on the dropping of the brace "Pub’s Open " still being said today as a memory of the days gone by.The old cellar has power and fully renovated being ideal for wine or kids will enjoy playing in total safety. The home can easily change into 6 bedrooms if needed with a separate games room , office and ample living areas with the large 4224m2 block giving plenty of room for a horse or other pursuits.For someone looking for something different , this home could be converted into a bed and breakfast , Cafe’ & Devonshire teas , wine bar/restaurant or venue for weddings or the like or be bold and open the pub again – and spin those old yarns , imagine the fun ? Traffic flow is steady with ease of access to the Pacific highway at Ulmarra or for tourists going to Lawrence. Enjoy summer nights in the back yard or winters by the fire in the original parlor. There is a great rural aspect and a good community feeling in Southgate with no immediate neighbours and only 8 klms to town.Overall this home has an ambience that must be seen to be appreciated and an inspection is an absoulte must.
