19 Upper Macdonald Road, St Albans, NSW 2775

A unique opportunity to acquire one of St Alban's most iconic properties, the St Albans Courthouse, Homestead & Stables. This magnificent heritage listed property, rich in history presents an exceptional commercial offering with the property currently operating as tourist accommodation (three boutique guest houses) achieving significant returns with plenty of scope for expansion and forward bookings in place.

Nestled hillside and occupying over thirty flood free acres in the heart of St Albans Village the majestic location is a showstopper with breathtaking views of the Macdonald River and tranquil St Albans Valley and is just metres from St Albans Village and the Settlers Arms Inn. With three unique dwellings, the property is attractive to all types of guests, some come to relax whilst the more adventurous indulge in bush walks, river swimming and bike riding. 

A fantastic business in its current state (2023 saw a gross return of $190,000 and managed predominately remotely), however, a new owner could take this opportunity to the next level with plenty of opportunities for expansion.

The property is serviced and maintained by long term experienced employees, with the business running seamlessly to date.

Offered as a turnkey package with everything required for the continuation of this profitable business included in the sale. Take ownership and start earning income immediately.


The Courthouse:
History presents itself through The Courthouse, the circa 1890's sandstone building welcoming you to this sensational property. Perched on wooded slopes of Hawkesbury sandstone, high above the beautiful Macdonald River and St Albans the meticulously preserved and maintained building features the original exercise yard, now a recreation room whilst the holding cells have been converted into bathrooms with underfloor heating. A spacious guesthouse with 4 bedrooms, large living and dining area (once the centre of official duties), gorgeous country kitchen and multiple indoor and outdoor entertaining areas for guests to relax and enjoy. 

The Homestead:
The elevated Homestead with an exceptional outlook sits just beyond The Courthouse and presents an expansive home to reside in or another guest house for accommodating larger groups. Oozing with country charm the single level house is flanked by timber decking. The Homestead is completely self contained with five bedrooms, each with their own en-suite. Family moments are shared in the open plan living, dining and kitchen that flows to the rear deck. Storage and parking is accommodated for underneath the house.

The Stables:
The Stables have been transformed into a stylish studio expanding the accommodation offering. Rustic charm is showcased in this private dwelling with kitchenette, courtyard, external bathroom and laundry facilities.

A welcome addition to the property and perfectly positioned between The Courthouse & Homestead is a spectacular heated in-ground mineral swimming pool, privately enjoyed by guests all year round. Bask in the sun whilst overlooking the valley below. 

Storage is not an issue with a 200sqm shed (9.1m x 22.4m) providing plenty of space to store vehicles, boats or items required for the guest houses or transform into an amazing events room (the space would be ideal for a wedding reception).

Cattle or horses are well catered for with two- three arable acres at the lower end of the property with stables and cattle yards. 

An extremely valuable asset to the property is a water access licence providing authority to extract water from the river. These licences are extremely rare in the area and challenging to obtain.
