Commanding pride of place in Ranfurly's town centre, the former Post Office is currently operating as a backpackers & commercial laundry with owners accommodation upstairs. Perfectly located to take advantage of the iconic Otago Central Rail Trail & New Zealand's newest road trip - the spectacular Central Otago Touring Route.
Run the business as it is & enjoy living in the heart of Central Otago or explore the potential to re-purpose the backpackers into more long-term accommodation or even renovate into a family home. The self-contained upstairs apartment could provide an immediate income stream to support your investment while you decide how to proceed.
The backpackers contains a multi-bunk shared room, single bunkrooms, double & family rooms, comfortable dining & living area, well-equipped communal kitchen & multiple showers and toilets. The walk-in Postmaster's safe and separate strongroom are both fully operational & provide handy storage space.
Upstairs you'll find a comfortable two-bedroom, one-bathroom private residence with extensive views out to the mountains. Open plan from kitchen to dining & living and offering great indoor/outdoor flow to the sunny balcony. This home captures the warm Central Otago sun throughout the day & is kept cosy by the log burner on cool nights.
The commercial laundry operation is easy to run, combining seamlessly with the backpackers & is a significant part of the business. Customers include other accommodation providers, local businesses, sports teams & individuals. The laundry area also contains probably the last DVD hire outlet in New Zealand!
Ranfurly is a prosperous & growing town boasting a modern hospital & medical centre, excellent schools & recreational facilities, a host of clubs & activities to keep you busy & a friendly & welcoming community.
The Old Post Office is an interesting prospect for those in search of a home with income or an astute investment opportunity for someone with vision.
