General Store, Caf, B & B, giftware gallery and catering.
The Speckled Hen general store & cafe, is the focal point of the beautiful, historical township of Cudgewa, a few minutes to the Wodonga side of Corryong. The current owners have done most of the hard work allowing the next owner to cash-in. The 5 acre property runs back to a beautiful creek with swimming holes & fishing. Abundant water is available creating the possibility of such enterprises as berry farming and/or nursery. The rustic, 1919 standalone bakery has been transformed into superb Bed & Breakfast accommodation. The huge old ovens are a feature of the main living area and a reminder of a bygone era. Promotion has been limited due to it being so new, but given the popularity of nearby B & Bs, there is a distinct opportunity to promote and expand the B & B options. Running costs are kept to a minimum by gas boosted solar hot water and a brand new 6kw solar power system feeding back to the grid. You get so much value for your money. Virtually everything in the photos is included apart from personal furniture and personal items. A comfortable open plan 2 bedroom home is attached to the shop.
This is a very versatile property for a relaxing yet profitable lifestyle.
Materials including the corrugated iron roof were reclaimed from the renovation to the bakery and have been used as historical features throughout the property. There are beautiful garden areas, chooks to feed, rustic cattle yards, plus a horse paddock if you desire.
The classic but understated faade of the shop belies what waits beyond. Upon entering you are drawn by an Aladdin’s cave of home and giftware then through to a very large caf or function area, ideal for local or business gatherings or a quiet social lunch. This welcoming area is warmed by a wood fired heater and includes a piano plus a mini library of children’s & general interest books for sale.
The house area has 2 bedrooms and a spacious open plan kitchen, dining, lounge area with a lovely outlook over the raised garden beds and farmland to the stunning mountain backdrop. The undercover rear verandah will be a great place to while away many hours reading a book, planning your land or just watching the landscape unfold.
This is an incredible opportunity. You will get so much for your money. Virtually everything in the photos is included apart from personal furniture and personal items. This would ideally suit a couple who would like a relaxed lifestyle and would enjoy some additional income. The opportunity of producing income from the land with sales through the old shed is large and the store could easily become a hub for the sales of local produce. The old shed could possibly be sub-let with a bit of work.
