Gold Coast school for sale comes with desks and books

The unique offering, about 13 kilometres southwest of Surfers Paradise, was previously the home of the private primary school before administrators were appointed in June last year.

While there are no longer students attending the school, the site does include an operating 140-place childcare centre.

Ray White Commercial Gold Coast’s Adam Young said the owners were open to offers to buy the whole site or the school facility – subject to relevant approvals.

However, there was also the option to lease the school or the site, including the childcare facility.

“With everything included, right down to the desks and chairs, the property is ready to be sold or leased to another school,” Mr Young said.

“There is a whole range of things that can happen with that site, however, we have had plenty of interest from educational facilities across the board.

“It’s set up perfectly for a school to come in and continue operating from that site.”

The purpose-built school, which has a total building area of 2586 square metres was constructed in 1996.

Mr Young said the school was extended and modified in recent years.

“As it currently stands, there are five detached buildings — including the childcare centre — a demountable amenities block and car parking,” he said.

Along with 12 classrooms, the library features a collection of books and DVDs, a reception area and a separate lockable office.

There is also an arts studio, a music room, an administration building and two basketball courts.

Meanwhile another school site is on market in Melbourne.

Glenvale School’s Melton campus, about 35 kilometres from the city, occupies an 8624-square-metre site and is home to 11 classrooms plus a “self-directed learning centre” and full support facilities.

“Currently housing 160 students and 22 staff, this quality-built school campus has been outgrown by its current occupants and presents a unique offering,” said Colliers International’s Charles Kennedy.

“While the property is ideally suited to another school looking to expand into this growth corridor location, we have sold a previous site for Glenvale that was acquired by a not-for-profit group seeking similar campus facilities.”

The property will be available with vacant possession at the end of the 2018 school year.

Expressions of interest for the Queensland Independent College close at 4pm on Wednesday July 4.
