Potential

The former convent building is currently used as the main residence, commercial kitchen and office. Its restoration has been an ongoing project for the current owners. The downstairs Chapel has the potential to be developed into a local Museum, Art Gallery and Coffee Shop for passing tourists. The upstairs level could be renovated into travellers accommodation, art studios/workshop etc. There is also a Labour Hire business that is to be developed further.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

This is an excellent cash flow business with enormous potential. It includes a lovely building ideal for tourist use and an existing caravan park with cabins and powered caravan sites. With the increasing number of country/outback travellers (including grey nomads) there is the potential for both B & B and unique accommodation. There is also potential to expand the Labour Hire business in the area  as it has yet to be fully developed. The main industry in this area is cotton with “Cubbie Station” being the largest privately owned cotton property in Australia.

Talk to the owners to arrange for an inspection, this is a great business opportunity and offers a great lifestyle and income at an affordable price.
