Residential and Commercial land opportunity!
Nestled within the lush landscape of the Dandenong Ranges lies this coveted acre of land brimming with opportunity and beckoning those with entrepreneurial dreams. Presenting the last bastion of undeveloped commercial space in the iconic village of Sassafras, this rare gem emerges as a beacon for business ventures, offering a blank canvas for the right visionary to unlock its true value and create the enterprise you have been envisioning for so long. A 2-minute walk to Sassafras Primary School and Pre-School, and adjacent to iconic Miss Marples Tea Room and Geppettos Workshop which enjoy strong trade from local residents and passing travellers, the allotment promises a harmonious blend of nature, community and commerce. The only untouched canvas in this bustling tourist hub, where every other plot has been claimed and developed, this is an opportunity that has not been seen for decades.
Furthermore, there is scope to create something that adds value to Sassafras' vibrant community and has the potential to shape the towns future. It's about crafting a space that resonates with tourists and locals alike and leaving your mark on this charming town by creating something truly special.
One of the most enchanting features of this property is its proximity to nature. The land backs onto state forest, offering a lush backdrop and a sense of tranquillity that is hard to find elsewhere. Picture a magical day spa overlooking the forest (STCA), where visitors can escape from their hectic lives and immerse themselves in nature's soothing embrace. Or perhaps envision a bustling retail complex (STCA) with ample parking space, attracting tourists and locals alike with its unique offerings. The choice is yours.
The property is commercially zoned and in the 1990s, lapsed plans were drawn up for retail/shops, office/residential spaces and parking. The potential here is immense; all it needs is your innovative touch to bring these plans back to life or create something entirely new (STCA).
