Ever dreamt of moving to the "country", buying your own commercial property and enjoying a sense of community? Well look no further - this once thriving Pie Shop/cafe is the perfect premises - set up, ready to open the doors and start trading once you have purchased the larder. What do you need? A passion for new beginnings, meeting people from the regular truck drivers who pass through to the constant flow of tourists, especially in the summer months and it would pay to have some cooking/baking ability - or hire someone who has! Add in a great barrista and you would benefit from the ability of being able to operate up to three ventures on the one property!

The cafe/shop is the main section of the property and building, with upstairs approved for budget accommodation, comprising of four bedrooms and a shared bathroom. Alternatively, this upstairs accommodation could form part of the main residence with the main living and kitchen area downstairs at the rear of the cafe, giving you space away from the so called "front of house" to relax. The cafe/shop can be whatever you want - a bakery, a pie shop, restaurant, cafe, ice-cream parlour and coffee shop - your food passion could become a tourist attraction with this prominent location, excellent parking, outdoor dining and toilet facilities. The fully fitted commercial kitchen would be a dream to work in with ample natural sunlight and plenty of bench space. The main dining/cafe with its practical Blackwood timber floorboards, adjoins the kitchen which can comfortably fit several chefs cooking at the same time while being close to the dining area for fast service of meals. There are several storerooms for keeping your larder in at an even temperature.

Alternatively you could have a mix of businesses with the added bonus of a beautiful, yet somewhat smaller shop alongside which historically used to be a Butchers Shop. Today it would ideally suit as an ice-cream parlour or arts and crafts studio, showcasing the stunning natural sandstone walls, timber floorboards, feature fireplace and King Billy Pine ceiling rafters that only a building of this era could display!

Additional outbuildings are on site but are of little to no value...the back sheds have been earmarked to be demolished so you can enjoy more of the 1,238sqm of land or use this space to develop a new outdoor dining experience for patrons. An enormous plus is the property is on town water and sewerage...a fact that can often be overlooked but be most important when running a business. There are even several solid timber outdoor picnic tables and two toilets for patron usage, again a great space that could be further developed to attract more visitors to stop, rest and revive!

If you think you have the right ingredients to make this fabulous building and lifestyle opportunity a reality, don't wait and think "I should have done something" when it may just be too late! Such an opportunity is only limited by your imagination.
