One the main highway between Bundaberg and Gladstone you will find the idyllic small country town of Bororen. The town is a key stopping point for travellers as well as the hub for the rural farming community. It is nestled in an area that has plains, bushland hills and is only 20 minutes from the magnificent Turkey Beach. The weather is nicely balanced with warmth from the bush with easterly breezes from the ocean.
The business
The business is the only produce and hardware store for about 50 minutes so it serves all the rural properties in the area. This is where you come when you want water tanks, fencing and gate materials. They also have fertilizer and food for cattle, working dogs and of course mountains of chook food!
Don't be fooled into thinking this is a small time business. It's location means that key organisations such as councils and infrastructure suppliers come here regularly with account orders.
There is a hay shed and plenty of plumbing or hardware gear for those on the land who generally come in, fill up the ute and drive away again. Locals have been coming here for over two decades through successive owning families which gives nice security for new owners.
The sale includes all plant and equipment including the tank trailer, hay trailer and forklift.
Operating hours are 8-5 Monday to Friday and 8-12 on Saturday's. Systems are inplace to allow you to complete your admin quickly and easily so your lifestyle after hours isn't impacted.
This business will suit an owner operator, a family or equally an investor as one of the owners is open to staying on as a manager.
The main property
The main property includes the hardware and parts area, counter space and an air conditioned office which abuts the front road. Attached to the back of this (with walls removed to allow full access and view) is the
produce shed (which is huge).
Out the back is another large shed which has the cattle garlic blocks (yes, you want those away from the front of the office because it's real garlic) and fertilizer. Tucked in the back corner is a dry hay shed. Stock tends to turnover every 2-3 months depending on weather and seasons.
Main building area and shed is about 463m2 and whilst well used there is still a bit of space for more lines. There are amenities and a kitchenette in the main building.
The land is actually two titles totalling 2,338m2 (1,137 and 1,201m2). A lot of land is used for storing larger items however, like the buildings, there is still space that could be more effectively utilised if you are looking for further growth.
The adjoining rented property
Are you looking to move to Bororen as part of the sale? Then you might want to use the adjoining 3 bedroom, 1 bathroom house. Alternatively you can just keep it rented as an additional income stream.
The rental property has 1,201 m2 of land and is zoned as local business which means you can expand the business onto it.
There is bore water, two water tanks and some lovely fruit trees to provide the picture of the perfect lifestyle change while walking only 20 feet to get to work. That sure beats traffic snarls.
The invitation
This freehold business is all about lifestyle and flexibility. The business is essential to the area and well supported by locals. There is growth still available within it by introducing more lines, some social media or stronger online presence, a delivery service and using some more of the space both inside or outside.
The total package of the business, freehold two titled property, buildings and adjoining rental property are on offer for $1.1 million ($1,100,000) plus SAV of about $200,000. The owners are open to someone just buying the business or rental property.
