Shanti, located on the edge of the Briagolong township in Central Gippsland, is set on 22 acres of cleared and natural bushland. The property features a double storey 3 bedroom residence surrounded by verandas, five self-contained one bedroom cottages and a massive recreational hall and conference centre. Bordered by George Creek at one end of the property and a sealed bitumen road at the other, in addition to creek frontage there are four dams, a large machinery shed, office and treatment room.
Shanti Relaxation Retreat has served as a canvas for its owner to create a comfortable environment for guests to stay, relax and enjoy varied treatments including reiki, crystal healing, aromatherapy, massage and reflexology while enjoying the smell, sounds, peace and tranquillity of the natural bushland setting. Future owners may choose to continue and develop the current business further or simply choose to share the property with family or friends.
An inspection of the property will allow buyers to see that there are several other possibilities, however, which may include an off-campus school camp which would allow for 20+ students at a time to be accommodated in the cottages. The recreational hall provides a central meeting point for group activities, seminars and games and the owner’s residence a comfortable accommodation option for teachers or caretakers. The dams and creek provide endless possibilities for water activities and there is even a cliff face suitable for rope and rock climbing. Schools may consider purchasing the property and running regular grade level camps or an energetic couple may decide to offer schools a venue to undertake structured outdoor programs on a weekly basis.
