Now is your moment to say oui to an extraordinary lifestyle and business opportunity in the heart of Waipara. With a motivated vendor ready to move on, this is a rare chance to secure a property that blends charm, income potential and rural freedom in one irresistible package.

Set across 8.38 hectares, fenced bare land sold with a water consent the scene is straight out of the countryside of France - a characterful, French-inspired building anchored by the much-loved Rusty Fiddle Cafe at one end and a beautifully styled two-bedroom apartment at the other. Olive trees frame the outlook, seasonal sunflowers brighten the landscape, and wide skies set the tone for something special.

The accommodation wing unfolds over three levels and offers flexibility in spades. A renovated kitchen anchors the open-plan living space, complemented by two bathrooms and two generous bedrooms. Whether you're envisioning a home, a boutique Airbnb, or comfortable on-site management quarters, the layout adapts effortlessly to your plans.

At the other end, the cafe invites visitors to linger. Indoor and outdoor spaces flow seamlessly together, while mezzanine seating adds character and doubles as an office or creative nook. A fully equipped commercial kitchen and two bathrooms - including an accessible option with shower - ensure the business is ready to perform from day one.

This is more than a property - it's a place where mornings begin with coffee and connection, and days unfold with purpose. In the heart of Waipara, the opportunity doesn't come along often - and when it does, it deserves a closer look.
