This exceptional offering includes lush native timber and bushland with pockets of rainforest scrub, a running creek, hills with ocean views and room to run a few head of cattle and horses. At the heart of the property is the 'Kickstart saloon' which boasts a restaurant, fully equipped commercial kitchen and bar, a modern cottage, a separate guest accommodation building featuring 4 fully furnished en-suite rooms a 12 x 6-meter storage shed and a quicky little castle, yes, a castle!

The main bar area is incredibly spacious and filled with plenty of high-quality décor items and memorabilia pieces that complement the motorcycle culture and theme the saloon currently bares tribute to. Walk out of the bar area and straight into any one of the four 'alfresco' dining areas each with which combined have housed events of over 300 people. The main dining area features an attached fire pit area which is always popular in the warmer months as well as a fully-fledged stage, equipped with stage lighting, dancefloor lighting and speakers which have often been used by bands local and visiting alike. 

The modern commercial kitchen is approximately 40sqm, fully air conditioned and fully furnished with stainless steel benches, 3 deep fryers, bain-marie, chip hot box, large range hood, turbofan oven, 5x smart ovens, 3x microwaves, commercial dishwasher, storage racks, 4x sinks, 3x fridges and 3x deep freezers. Adjacent to the kitchen is a purpose-built meat smoking area with bench area and sinks.

A contemporary cabin has been built as a 'caretakers residence' which is currently occupied by the seller, It has an open-plan studio layout with tiles and air-conditioning throughout in addition, it has a modern kitchen, modern bathroom and a 6x3 meter cellar which could be used as a further living space. In addition to this cabin, a new owner may wish to build upon the large house pad positioned on the northwest corner of the property, boasting ocean views and a little extra distance from the saloon, this would be the perfect spot for a larger residence.

The property has boundary fencing on the western side of the creek crossing divided into 2 paddocks, each paddock has water supplied to cattle troughs. The larger of the 2 paddocks also has a divider fence that is 95% complete with the goal being 3 separate paddocks to assist with better stock rotation. On the western side of the creek, is another pasture which the seller is currently discussing with the council, which thus far have been very positive towards allowing further un-serviced caravan sites in addition to the 5 sites already authorized on the property.

Due to the long list of expansion projects that have been done over the past 6 years since opening the business, the saloon has only been open Thursday to Sunday evenings. With the faster than expected growth of the business, it may be the intention of a new owner to operate 7 days a week which would greatly increase revenue potential on top of the strong and increasing returns over the past few years.

Situated within 30 minutes southwest of the Mackay City Gates and 15 minutes northwest of Sarina, this property truly has it all regardless of whether you are looking to carry the business on as-is or do something a bit different. A lot of work has been done to this property over the past 6 years, and it has paid off big time!
