Description

An outstanding opportunity to secure a substantial commercial/industrial property occupying approximately 2.75 hectares, strategically positioned with an impressive 200 metres of frontage to the Princes Highway, only 6km west of the busy commercial centre of Colac.
Having been home to a successful family-operated steel fabrication business for more than 60 years, the property offers an extensive range of existing infrastructure ideally suited to industrial, transport, logistics, agricultural and trade-based businesses.
At the heart of the property is an imposing warehouse of approximately 52m x 38m, providing close to 2,000sqm under roof, with an internal clearance of more than 6 metres. The warehouse incorporates two offices and amenities, together with approximately 330sqm of adjoining undercover skillion areas.
A major feature is the inclusion of three cranes, providing excellent infrastructure for the loading and unloading of trucks and the handling of heavy materials or machinery.
A separate Colorbond shed measuring approximately 24m x 12m provides further workshop or storage capacity and features three roller shutter doors together with a built-in mezzanine level.
The extensive improvements are complemented by substantial surrounding hardstand areas, offering excellent access and vehicle movement around the main warehouse. An existing concrete base of more than 1,000sqm incorporates footings for two additional warehouses of approximately 500sqm each. These proposed warehouses have previously been permitted, and the building trusses are already onsite, providing significant potential for a purchaser to further develop the property, subject to confirming the current status of all relevant permits and approvals.
The property also includes a comfortable three-bedroom brick veneer residence with double garage, adding another dimension to this versatile holding.
