Last Listing description (March 2025)

Situated just one hour from Hobart, in the historic town of Bothwell in central Tasmania, is this beautiful circa 1840 residence, positioned in the town centre with a long-established and successful and thriving caf? that was formally the Old Bothwell Store. Much like this town, the property is also steeped in history that a new caretaker has the wonderful opportunity to be part of.

Constructed with solid brick walls and showcasing classic original features such wooden floorboards, high set skirting boards, fireplaces and mantles, picture rails and sash windows: beautifully maintained and presented character that cannot be replaced.

The first level comprises three generously sized bedrooms with a shared bathroom for two, and a separate sitting room kept cosy by a heater in the feature fire place. There is also access to a substantial attic space that has the potential to be further developed.

On the entry level there is a eat-in country style kitchen featuring a free standing cooker combined with a wood fired country oven, a sitting room, office, storeroom and shared bathroom facilities with the caf?. A fourth bedroom could be made on this level if needed.

The home is kept cosy by two freestanding wood heaters and open fireplaces, some with beautiful ornate surrounds with mantles.

The perfectly level allotment is neatly presented and features mature trees, some outbuildings and is fully fenced. Off street parking is available, and there is further opportunities to extend the caf? outside during the warmer months (STCA).

The eclectic caf? offers a rustic setting comprising a large dining area, wood heating, front counter with displays offering cakes, sweets, pies and pastries with a full commercial kitchen to the rear. Gifts are also displayed and sold with a variety of locally sourced items. There are bathroom facilities for patrons and shared laundry facilities for the operator and residence.

The caf? (Sealy's Caf? and Gifts) is currently leased on flexible terms for $ 370 per week or $ 19,240 per annum with a 75% contribution to the power, and 65% towards the water bill. The leaseholder is keen to extend and fix the lease or there are opportunities to run the caf? and seek vacant possession.

This beautiful historic property could be restored to a lovely family residence, or it could make a fantastic short-term accommodation business as Bothwell becomes more of a destination for local and interstate visitors, or continue to combine a residence with some commercial mix either as either a caf?, antique store or retail shop.

Approximately one hour from Hobart, or one hour and forty-five minutes from Launceston, Bothwell sits on the Clyde River and is slightly elevated at 385m above sea level. Bothwell is a Lake District and is part of the Central Highlands Council. The area is known for hunting, the gateway to some of the best trout fishing in the country and also home to the oldest running golf course in Australia, Ratho Farm.

This is an exciting opportunity that could present a lifestyle change for many. Contact Ben Vance for further information or to arrange your private inspection.
