Leo Edwards • May 04, 2021

If you've long dreamed to make that elusive sea or tree change or have been searching for properties that could incorporate a business for ultimate work life balance - look no further!

Mixed-use properties where small business owners can live and work are enjoying a resurgence in Victoria post Covid, as some savvy operators realise it is cheaper to buy than rent in the current low-interest-rate environment. It makes a lot of sense combining mortgage or residential rent and commercial rent into just one payment, according to David Minty, of CBRE’s Melbourne City Fringe team.

“This is where the value sits – owning your own business premises but also having the ability to live in the same property and thus combining a single mortgage,” he said.

“The trend has a lot to do with both the style of businesses, which are emerging in the e-commerce space [who are] not needing your traditional office with employee numbers at lower levels. [It’s also about] the cost of debt lowering, making the scenario more financially viable,” Mr Minty said.

The unique properties below offer these options for the astute purchaser combined with the perfect sea change / tree change lifestyle as part of the package. Both properties are for sale by Openn Negotiation meaning you don't even to leave home to buy them!

Located in the heart of the beautiful Koonwarra Village, popular with both tourists and locals alike, this is a picturesque Village with strong traditional community groups such as the CFA, Memorial Hall Committee and Recreation Reserve Committee. All are maintained at a very high standard. Koonwarra is also well known in the region for fine food and wine, contemporary arts and craft, innovative health and well being services, a leader in promoting organic foods, and plastic bag free.


In fact, it's Australia's first Waste Wise Village, home of Greenfleet Australia. The original 'Regional Farmers Markets' together with the 'Slow Food' initiatives were conceived here also.The property, located at 9 Koala Drive, is presently being utilised as the home of Adina Hair, Beauty and Wellness, a business offering beauty and spa services to the wider Gippsland and Bass Coast region. This has been lovingly updated by the current owners to an extremely high standard, but could very easily be a stunning country residence, comprising of four bedrooms, two living zones and front and rear decks nestled in a tree top setting that must be seen to be believed. 


Set on 1750 sqm the fully landscaped block is extremely private and looks out over one of South Gippsland's finest nature reserves. It's very easy to imagine living here. Illuminated parking for up to 12 vehicles is at the front of the property with a stunning entrance pergola and winding hardwood walkway that leads up to the front deck and entrance porch.


Outside of a stunning residence with beautiful decor the potential uses for this property are endless and a unique opportunity is available here for the astute buyer. 


Together with this stunning property, it should be noted that as a separate opportunity, Adina Hair, Beauty & Wellness (The Business) is also available to purchase. This would be at an additional cost to the freehold property that is being sold here and would include all of the equipment, stock, software, furniture, online platforms, socials and databases as a complete turnkey solution).
