Acreage Living with Thriving Business Opportunity & Bass Strait Views!
The residence features three generously sized bedrooms, each with built-in robes, providing ample space for family or guests. Wake up to stunning Bass Strait views from the master bedroom, a truly special way to start your day. Enjoy the convenience of two bathrooms, a single garage, and an additional single carport, ensuring plenty of parking. The property is fully fenced, offering security and peace of mind, with abundant storage solutions throughout the home. Comfort is assured year-round with gas hot water and heating, along with energy-efficient double-glazed windows.
Beyond the inviting home lies a fantastic business opportunity. The 25 year established pet boarding facility boasts a strong reputation with regular repeat clients, forward bookings extending into late 2026 & early 2027 and is the only animal boarding facility in Devonport, located only 5 minutes from the Spirit of Tasmania Terminal and 7 minutes from the Devonport Airport. With the capacity and license to comfortably board 30 dogs and 6 cats, the facility includes five separate outdoor exercise yards (totalling approx 570sqm), a dedicated office and reception area, and a separate kitchen/prep space for efficient business operations. There’s significant indoor (totalling approx 482sqm) and outdoor room for further expansion, whether to accommodate more animals or to create a training area.
The property also features a fully functional, separate dog grooming room, complete with a hydro bath, air dryer, clippers, grooming table, and other essential equipment – an invaluable asset for the business. The business is further supported by a dedicated vehicle (make and model TBA) specifically configured for safe and secure animal transport. This asset is utilised in conjunction with a strategic and reputable partnership with Pawmobile, a reputable pet transport company. This relationship facilitates an extra lucrative service stream for the business, providing professional transport to and from the Devonport Airport and the Spirit of Tasmania terminal for traveling pets.
For future growth or additional amenities, a large, unused parcel of land presents endless possibilities. Imagine adding more kennels or sheds, or creating one or more expansive exercise yards. Practical features include four substantial 25,000-litre water tanks and two reliable water bores. A large 9x12m shed provides excellent storage for equipment and supplies.
