Description

Situated in the heart of the increasingly popular township of Forrest in the Otway Ranges, this property, until recently, operated very successfully as Bespoke Harvest Restaurant and Forrest Guest House. Offering, in addition, a beautiful modern 3 bedroom (plus large office), 2 bathroom independent residence, 16 Grant Street in Forrest offers interested parties excellent potential for living and running their own business in the delightful town of Forrest.

The entire property (inclusive of all business potential) is being offered for sale or, if preferred, a lease agreement.

The dining space, with its rustic corrugated iron and timber topped bar, timber floors and spacious feel, creates a welcoming ambience for visitors. The fully equipped commercial kitchen, cool room and dining area have the capacity to cater for up to 60 people seated inside and out on the expansive north facing verandah overlooking the shady garden. With continued and consistent enquiry for restaurant bookings, this space could readily be reopened as a working restaurant or configured to operate as a café or other commercial enterprises as imagined by the new owners.

The Guest House comprises 4 independent guest rooms (3 King and 1 Queen). These have been lovingly and sensitively refurbished to provide guests with spacious accommodation with all the comforts of modern living (ensuite, kitchenette, R/C Air Con, furnishings) while retaining charming features from the past. Each room is accessed from the generous timber verandah which connects the accommodation to the garden.

The garden (also used for produce for the restaurant) has been planned with social space in mind. It has a range of interesting fruit and nut trees, a glass house, vegie gardens and plenty of special spaces for people to sit, relax and enjoy the peaceful ambience.

Creative vision and styling by the current owners has seen the conversion of a double garage into a modern, comfortable home featuring open plan living and dining (wood burning heater), great kitchen with rustic timber and concrete island bench, induction hot plates and electric oven, gas instant HWS, three bedrooms (main with WIR and others with BIR) and two bathrooms (both with underfloor heating). This house provides options for a contemporary and very comfortable permanent residence or could be included as part of the guest accommodation.

If you have ever thought about the possibility of owning or leasing a popular and successful hospitality business in the stunning Otways area, this is a must see!
