A most unique opportunity presents itself here with the chance to own the famed Railway Hotel in Elaine with Front bar, Bistro, accommodation, beer garden and the added benefit of 4856m2 township land across 2 separate titles with dual street frontages for further development (STCA).
The famed establishment has a rich 150-year-old history and with it being set on the highway in between 2 major regional cities of Victoria in Ballarat and Geelong, is a great "drop in" place for travelers', whilst also serving the local community on a daily basis.
Additionally, annual events within the region bring floods of tourism to the area periodically throughout the year.
At the front, the main bar is a tribute to history as so many similar venues have been gentrified to their own detriment, whereas the front bar of the Railway Hotel in Elaine has remained relatively unchanged, holding all the charm of the classic Australian pub of yesteryear.
Off to the side, a hall leads to both Men's and Ladies bathrooms that also service the Bistro.
At the centre of the building the Bistro can service up to 50 dining patrons. Open fire places add to the inviting charm and warmth and of course, every pub/bistro needs a good pool table!
Outside, the beer garden provides plenty of open space for further dining or enjoying a few drinks in the sun. On special occasions this area can be home to musical acts to add to the experience.
A full commercial kitchen complimented by a large cool room and a cellar under bar combine to service the venue.
The historical heart of the Railway Hotel is its 5 bedrooms, separate function room and multiple shared bathrooms that have provided accommodation for many a traveler in the 150 years of operation.
If these walls could talk!!!!
A slice of history with unique opportunity and plenty of potential is on offer here.
