Set across approximately 16.47 hectares at Mena Creek, this property offers far more than just a home.The main residence is positioned privately within the property, surrounded by established gardens, open space and natural surrounds, with room for horses, cattle yards, a chook pen and plenty of space for families wanting a genuine rural lifestyle.There is also potential for extended or multi-generational family living, with the separate cabin buildings providing additional space away from the main residence.Across the property you have a substantial main residence, four separate cabin buildings, a large shed and around 943m under roof.Add solar, generator backup, bore, water tanks, water licence, two permanent creeks, a natural swimming hole, established gardens and an existing accommodation operation.Recent accommodation turnover has been approximately $120,000 gross per annum, with a stronger previous year around $150,000 gross.There is a lot here and, importantly, there is more than one way this property could work for its next owner.UNDERSTANDING THE CURRENT SETUPThe current setup includes four guest cabins operating under Tourist Park approval MCU22/0047.That current use has caused some lenders to assess the property differently to a normal rural residential property.BUT THERE IS ANOTHER OPTIONCouncil has outlined a pathway to change the current use.The owners can abandon the Tourist Park approval and revert to a Large Homesite Dwelling arrangement.Under that pathway, the property can retain three guest cabins as a subordinate home-based business.So in simple terms:Current setup: House + four guest cabins under the Tourist Park approval.Alternative setup: Large Homesite Dwelling + three guest cabins.Council does not provide finance and has not guaranteed residential lending.What it has provided is a pathway to remove the current Tourist Park arrangement that has contributed to the way some lenders assess the property.The owners are prepared to work through that pathway for the right buyer.LOOK AT WHAT IS ACTUALLY HERE- Approximately 16.47 hectares / 40.69 acres. - Around 943m under roof. - Substantial main residence. - Four separate cabin buildings. - Furnished accommodation. - Large approximately 20m x 8.5m shed. - 35kVA silenced diesel generator. - Solar. - Water tanks. - Water licence. - Two permanent creeks. - Natural swimming hole. - Established gardens. - Accommodation and rural infrastructure.
