FREEHOLD! BALINGUP POST OFFICE AND ACCOMMODATION/ RESIDENCE
This is a very versatile and secure small business opportunity that comes with a great lifestyle!
The sale consists of the Post Office and The Post House Accommodation and / or residence on a 916m2 Freehold property.
The Post Office has been in continual operation since 1924. It is an essential service for a large area between Donnybrook and Bridgetown and has over 400 letter boxes. It provides banking, billpay, stationery, gifts, supplies, phone recharges, fax and copy service etc and is an agent for TransWA bus and train ticketing, Toll Ipec and Startrack courier services.
The Post House is located at the rear of the post office and offers low cost, hostel style accommodation, registered for 9 guests. It attracts a wide range of clientele from local and international hikers walking the Bibbulmun Track, a world renowned 1,000km hike from Perth to Albany, to weekend visitors and seasonal workers.
These businesses complement each other and you get the best of both worlds - the friendliness of a small community with the variety of national and international visitors!
But, if you prefer you could discontinue the accommodation business and use that to live on the premises yourself. It is a comfortable four bedroom, two bathroom home with well equipped kitchen and living area and a large backyard, with rear access and plenty of room for extending or adding a granny flat.
It is a busy little place and both businesses turn a good profit with room for growth and development. Some ideas are:
* Expand and develop the post office retail area beyond the standard products (license holders can sell whatever they choose within Shire regulations);
* Expand the parcel delivery area into a regional large item depot;
* Expand and build the accommodation business with increased beds, transport service, work placement service for regional seasonal workers etc etc.
Balingup is located approximately 240km south of Perth and less than an hour inland from the coastal city of Bunbury, in the picturesque Blackwood River Valley. Balingup is known for its beautiful scenery and creative, eclectic demographic - artists, writers, musicians, farmers, small business owners (such as Tinderbox herbal products) and entrepreneurs all call this place home. It hosts a number of very successful annual events that attract over 10,000 people and is a mecca for those looking for an authentic and charming country retreat.
Business proposition, financials and draft renovation plan are all available upon request and signing a confidentiality agreement.
No time wasters please - genuine interest only. Owner is selling for family reasons.
