VIC Top 5: Potential operators eye Daylesford Hotel
With Melbourne still in lockdown, city dwellers may be plotting their country escape, with a popular regional pub catching the eye of operators.
The Daylesford Hotel in Victoria’s popular spa and holiday region was the most-viewed commercial property in the state over the past week, with the venues leasehold currently on the market for $650,000.
Having recently been given a facelift, the property retains its historic bar, with the new operator to take stewardship of the food and beverage areas, private function room, beer garden, seven accommodation rooms and a one-bedroom apartment.
Here are the other commercial properties claiming their share of attention in Victoria.
WORK DOWNSTAIRS, LIVE IN BEACHSIDE LUXURY UPSTAIRS
The stunning five-level property in St Kilda.
Residential buyers are expected to compete with commercial investors for the keys to this lavish St Kilda property, which sits just metres from the beach in the popular bayside suburb.
Downstairs at the five-level mixed-use building is a ground floor commercial/retail space, but it’s upstairs that is grabbing much of the attention, with a three-level, three bedroom penthouse with a four-car garage, pool and rooftop terrace.
Each space is individually strata-titled, while agents say the entire property is adaptable to a commercial operation.
Panoramic views of the city skyline and Port Phillip Bay are a bonus.
PRESTIGIOUS COUNTRY ESTATE
LARUNDEL, 183 Orrells Road, Cargerie
