Nestled in the heart of the Atherton Tablelands, Shaylee Strawberries stands as an iconic destination cherished by locals and visitors alike since its establishment in 1985. This picturesque property boasts not only a thriving "pick your own" strawberry experience but also the delightful "Two Strawberries Café," where patrons indulge in scrumptious treats overlooking the Strawberry Fields and the Seven Sisters.
Best practice, quality, and service are the core principles at Shaylee Strawberries. Family-owned and operated, the foundations have been laid with no expense spared and all hands on deck to ensure each visitor experiences the warmth and authenticity that define Shaylee's Strawberries Boutique Farm values.
This opportunity offers more than just a business; it's a chance to escape the rat race and live the rural dream. For sale on a WIWO basis, with the cafe running all year round the income will commence immediately and purchasing in the off-season (between December - June) will allow you time to find your feet and learn the art of strawberry growing and processing before the busiest five months of the year between July and November. For the discerning investor seeking both profitability and passion, Shaylee Strawberries presents an unparalleled opportunity.
