Make this Baviarian beer haus and brewery your own
It may be over 16,000km from the traditional home of lederhosen, pork knuckles and beer steins, but this sprawling property offers a bit of Bavaria south of Brisbane.
And with Oktoberfest just over a month away, you could enjoy the festivities without ever getting on a plane to Germany.
The Bavarian Grill and Brewery is listed with Resort Brokers Australia and LJ Hooker Broadbeach, and could now be yours for $3.85 million.

Set on more than five acres, the Tamborine Mountain property has a craft brewery, beer hall, wedding chapel, restaurant and a development approval for accommodation.
Currently operating at a limited capacity, the company’s website has many photographs of patrons enjoying beer in steins and homemade German fare.
The listing says the property has been improved with “a number of tourism and hospitality facilities”.
“This very impressive property is running at below 30% capacity and achieves a very respectful net after adjustments, a clear indication of the potential this incredible property presents,” according to the listing of realcommercial.com.au.
The landmark property on Main Western Road is owned by owner developer Andre Jaworski.
It also includes a five-bedroom owners residence, a self-contained one-bedroom unit, storage sheds, plant and equipment and relevant licences to trade.
News Corp reports from when the property was first listed with a higher asking price attached say Jaworksi left the corporate world in Sydney, moved to Tamborine, bought what was an avocado farm in 2002, and started out by building the Bavarian Grill Haus restaurant.
He then added the Red Baron Brewery, Red Baron Cellar Door and Beer Halll, a lakeside wedding chapel and an associated rotunda function area.
He even travelled to Bavaria to learn the fine art of beer brewing, but is now keen to hang up his lederhosen.
Resort Brokers Australia agent Paul Mueller says there have been six offers so far for the venture, but none had been successful so far.
“We have had 27 inquiries, six offers … just haven’t quite got the right price yet,” he says.
Mueller says the majority of interest has come from interstate buyers and investors in Sydney and Melbourne, plus one “serious” interested buyer with ties to a Dubai hospitality empire.
“They are still sniffing around,” Mueller says.
Mueller says many of the interested parties are keen to develop the site further, and add accommodation to boost the wedding functions side of the business.
“There is plenty of interest, just waiting for the right buyer,” he says. “Sometimes it can be hard to sell blue skies.
“But I think the whole issue around lend testing has eased and that has helped.”
The restaurant seats up to 128 people and has a commercial kitchen, food and alcohol storage and service facilities.
The fully operational, computerised boutique brewery includes vats, a cool room and a kegging and bottling system, while the Red Baron Cellar Door and Function Room can seat 100 people in the authentic Bavarian beer hall.
There is seating for approximately 60 people in the wedding chapel, which is linked to the waterfront rotunda and veranda areas.
There is also a current development approval for six cabins, afunction/reception venue, waste water disposal area and a tennis court.
