Multiple Income Opportunity
Edith Creek General Store & Bus Stop Caf and Blue Wren Haven Private Residence & B&B are two income-producing properties offered together for sale.
Edith Creek General Store & Bus Stop Caf and Take Away presents outstanding potential to serve the local community, covering an area from Smithton through to Arthur River, Zeehan, and the UNESCO World Heritage Tarkine Drive. The property includes a council-approved walk-in, walk-out stainless-steel commercial kitchen, fully equipped with deep fryers, display fridges, POS fridges, and more, allowing operations to begin immediately.

The property also offers two separate spaces suitable for a mechanics workshop and storage. Originally the local bus depot, the general store provides flexible space that can be adapted to suit a range of business or personal uses.
Blue Wren Haven Private Residence & B&B is an internationally recognized, award-winning accommodation on Booking.com, built from stone and log. This distinctive lodge offers a warm and memorable atmosphere that encourages repeat visits. With Smithton just five minutes and the famous The Nut and little Penguin viewing platform at Stanley only a short 10min drive away and the local businesses currently undergoing multi-million-dollar business expansion, gives this property very strong potential to accommodate seasonal workers and generate reliable ongoing income.
A separate garage/building could also be converted into an ancillary dwelling or granny flat, subject to council approval, creating an additional rental income opportunity.
Set on approximately 4.5 acres, the property features walking paths, abundant birdlife, and the peaceful banks of Sedgwick Creek along the boundary, where you may spot fish and, if you are lucky, even a platypus.
The local school bus stops at the front gate, providing convenient access to nearby public and private schools.
Combining rural lifestyle appeal with multiple income streams, this is a unique opportunity for buyers seeking both flexibility and return. Contact us to find out more about this exceptional property and lifestyle offering.
