Rare opportunity to secure such a large established site on the edge of Bright township, with approval in place for further development.
Spread across 5 acres, The Place at Bright fronts Back Porepunkah Rd and is bordered by crown land on 2 sides and an unused road easement on the other.
The beautiful Ovens River is directly across the road from your property frontage, and you are only 200m from the incredibly popular Murray to Mountains Rail Trail.
The property itself already has substantial infrastructure on it including.
The centrepiece, which is the original 80's church of some 480m2 with a central room and 11m high pyramid ceiling that has to be seen to be admired, with 8 bedrooms, kitchen, bathroom and storage rooms.
3 room reception building
2-bedroom caretakers' cottage
Freestanding commercial kitchen
Storage rooms
2 Portable ensuite buildings
Day shelter with large entertaining BBQ kitchen with fridge and sink
Wide sealed bitumen driveway with space for 90 cars
And all in a botanical setting of fabulously mature grounds with an amazing variety of unique shrubs and trees.
There is approval in place for the use & development of the land for group accommodation, function centre, dwelling, other associated buildings and works and the sale and consumption of liquor.
Think weddings, birthdays, bike/car/cycling groups, small conferences or whatever your mind can come up with. The alternate uses are only limited by your imagination and enthusiasm.
Alternately to the approved you could consider a residential subdivision, with proposed plans for 5 approx. 1-acre allotments that would have fantastic appeal for those wishing for spacious allotments, in a peaceful setting on the edge of town.
Clearly this is a rare opportunity for such a development site to present itself and one that should get your serious attention.
