Formerly a Bed and Breakfast, this 5 bedroom, 2 bathroom stately residence is set on 8 Acres with stunning private gardens, 3 paddocks of prime basalt soil, oh and did I mention the fully council approved state of the art 15 x 25 mt dog breeding/boarding kennel? Yep, this is a whole lot of property! What’s more, it’s situated just a 15 minute drive to Derby, Australia’s mountain biking capital. Can you hear that noise? Yes, that’s opportunity knocking!

The stately weatherboard residence is packed with character features like a return verandah, bay windows, period fireplaces and timber fretwork all set on a background of stunning polished floorboards. There is no shortage of living space for the largest of families with both a large informal open plan kitchen living dining plus a formal living and dining room. The home is climate controlled by an inbuilt wood heater, r/c air conditioner and panel heaters.

The kennel is a purpose built fully council approved operation that consists of two structures; a 25m x 15m new kennel of 30 runs and a secondary building that houses the grooming room, office, workshop and garage. Outside are a further 12 dog runs. Licences to operate with 32 dogs, it is not currently functioning in that capacity as the owners are focused on other endeavours, therefore no figure will be provided.

In addition to the kennels and garage there is a hay barn ripe for accommodation conversion (STCA). It already has power connected and a middle floor constructed. Rent it on Airbnb in this lucrative tourism area or just put your teenager or mother in law out there!

If running a kennel is not your thing, let your entrepreneurial spirit run wild thinking of the many alternative uses for this kennel structure. It is a 12 x 25 m noise proof, insulated, heated/ cooled by two r/c air conditioners (subsidised by large bank of solar panels on the roof) with a toilet. Perfect to run a variety of businesses from, if you are currently renting a premises then you could move your operations to home, save commercial rent and cut your morning commute!

The grooming room has a freestanding wood heater, water connected and plenty of windows to let in light so is again a natural accommodation conversion waiting to happen (STCA). Set yourself up to accommodate school groups or scout groups just minutes from all the action of Derby.
