Purpose built for the MTB tourist market and operating for 18 months, this property has been developed to a very high standard with thoughtful design, layout and commercial grade infrastructure throughout. Sitting on 16 acres this property consists of a 3 bedroom residence, original to the property, as well as 3 new purpose built 2 bedroom self contained cabins and associated support buildings, all in a spectacular location. Let’s be clear that this is a first, there has never been a ready to run’ let alone a up and running’ venture of this scale presented for sale in the Derby Market. This is a VERY RARE offering.

With a fully operational and booking capable website, multiple tourism accreditation’s in place, a sound base of return clients and future bookings in place, the blood, sweat and tears work has been done for you. Let’s look at what you get.

The house
The Residence feature 3 double bedrooms, all with built in wardrobes. The spacious open plan kitchen dining room flows through to the living room which is heated by a freestanding wood heater as well as a reverse cycle air conditioner. The chef in the family will love the kitchen with its 900ml oven with gas cook top, dishwasher, and miles of bench space. A Large deck looks our over the Valley and your fully fenced back yard if you want to keep pets from the guests.

The cabins
Each of the 3 self contained cabins has two bedrooms divided by a fully equipped modern kitchen, lounge/dining area and a bathroom. They come fully furnished down to the last tea spoon and have hotel quality beds which each convert from king single into king as required. Foxtel is available but the large sweeping deck that runs along the front of each cabin means your guests will probably just sit on their deck and take in the breathtaking view across the valley. Each cabin has its own gas hot water unit so they never run out of hot water and reverse cycle air conditioner for climate control.

The Gazebo
When you see it you will understand that the old camp kitchen’ term does not do this justice. This communal entertaining space allows all your guests to come together for meals and socialise in style! With BBQ facilities, TV, fridges, stainless steel benches and large sinks perfect for platters this is a great dining space. With a large table, elegant bi-fold floor to ceiling glass door and tea and coffee facilities, this is also a perfect space to tap into the corporate training retreat market. You won’t have a problem getting sales reps to turn up to training with this destination!

All roofs capture water for a fully self sufficient water supply which is stored in over 120,000 litres of storage. The property has very large gas storage capacity connected to an underground reticulated gas system which supplies the cabins and house.
