Price Adjustment - Charming & Captivating Tourist Village Opportunity

As a resident of The Channon Village for over 40 years I can attest to the unique and enchanting nature of this lovely property and business combo. To this popular tourist destination's residents, 'The Channon Café' is a much-loved meeting place. Home to a number of successful businesses over many
years, this building with its central and elevated location offers a myriad of opportunities. It is currently a gorgeous country café surrounded by trees, flowers and gardens and offering multiple outside dining zones to enjoy your coffee in the filtered sun or a wine in the paved patio. Shaded zones keep customers cool in summer, whilst the roomy, earthy and art filled
interior space with a blazing fireplace keeps them toasty in winter. There's even a separate foyer-zone for exhibitions or a separate dining space. The current owner has left no stone unturned in improving the property, creating a delightful sensory space including extensive edible gardens and making it a café and pizzeria (The 'Alfa" pizza oven was made and flown in all the way from Italy) destination equal to the best coastal cafés…and the next lucky owner will reap the benefits of her labour! With the roomy central
kitchens, this is a perfect daytime Licensed café, but could equally be once again an evening restaurant or function space.

Nestled in the hinterland behind the bustling Byron Bay and the beaches of Brunswick Heads, The Channon is the 'Home of the Country Market' as well as the gateway to the famous and magical Protestors Falls and Nightcap National Park. It is also the hub of local activity with a (soon to be reopened) Butterfactory Tavern, a showground for markets and Pony-Club activities, a bustling general store, a well-patronised Community Hall and a well-regarded primary school (among other amenities) to serve what is a fabulous, strong and connected community. And the natural beauty of rainforest in and around The Channon with its dual fast-flowing creek valleys of Tuntable and Terania are a drawcard for thousands of tourists every year. Those tourists all flock to the heart of the village, which is "The Channon Café" and the adjacent General Store. In one of the country's most desirable localities, the city of Lismore is a 20-minute drive, the colourful township of Nimbin is 24 minutes, Bangalow is 30 minutes, Ballina is 40 minutes and Byron Bay is a scenic 40-minute drive.

Yes, this is the perfect rural business and building opportunity! The spacious commercial & residential premises has an attached dwelling: a 'one-bed roomer' with a large walk-in robe, laundry and spa bath that looks out onto a private courtyard, making it the perfect lifestyle for a single proprietor or a couple, or a home for your Cafe's manager.

Given its location, you could make it the 'Next Big Thing' in the Byron Hinterland whilst still enjoying the quiet country village lifestyle this opportunity would afford. Everything is in place for the next visionary owner – consider the following:
* Well-established local business that has been managed and successfully operated by the current owner since 2009 with upgrades in 2017
