Steeped in history this is an extraordinary opportunity to live and work from home and enjoy the wonderful location that is Port Albert, just a short walk to the wharf with boat ramp, great fishing and only ten minutes from Wellsford and arterial route north and south.
It's history as a general store is well documented with the original store from the 1890's burning down in 1926. The rebuild, in concrete, in 1927 occurred further up the hill from the wharf and operated as a general store and from 1948 doubled as the local rural mail service delivering mail, groceries and fresh produce to hundreds of rural postal boxes. In recent years the property transitioned into a beautifully appointed private residence and in 2015 consent was granted for re-establishment of the general store with associated sales of takeaway, namely, fish and chips. The property is being sold as a residential property with a separate option via the owner to buy the current business operating from the property for which Resource Consent is in place.
The house offers a stunning kitchen with 6 metre long stone bench, antiqued mirror splash back, Belling 90cm chef's oven and historic walk-in safe being used as the pantry. The living area is open plan flowing out onto a covered deck and there is internal access to both garage and the current general store and takeaway. There is also a guest bathroom and stairs leading up to three spacious double bedrooms and another sumptuous bathroom.
In addition to the house there is a large 3 bay barn built prior to 1991 (permit status unknown) with high stud perfect for small and large projects, alike and there is plenty of outside space for additional cars and boats.
In short, this property offers you the chance to be an integral and popular part of not just the local community but even further afield and the opportunities to further develop what the property has to offer are immense...
