EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST BY WEDNESDAY 12PM 6TH NOVEMBER 2024 (UNLESS SOLD PRIOR)
Ray White Mt Gambier is pleased to present 51 John Watson Drive, Mount Gambier, for sale.
This is a unique investment opportunity with incredible potential and versatility. Begin a new venture at this iconic address. The Former Win TV Mount Gambier studio has an indelible history, making it a prominent landmark on the Limestone Coast. Much of the Win TV era remains evident, with nostalgic memorabilia dotted throughout and iconic branding on the building's exterior.
The dream development site has unrivalled potential within the media, telecommunications, tourism, and hospitality industries. The creative space benefits from a prime location, with the inspiring Blue Lake as a backdrop. The bustling centre of South Australia's second-largest city is just moments away.
Since the days of broadcasting, the two-story building has most recently been utilised as a cellar door and café, and it has the potential to become a larger venue for events and functions.
Whether it's food and wine, media production, music and entertainment or community projects that ignite your passion - this is a genuinely exceptional opportunity to make a significant impact.
The solid-built brick property comes with much more than a rich history-sitting on a 2,948m2 allotment, it overlooks the town and Blue Lake with residential buildings surrounding it. There is undercover parking attached to the rear of the building for convenience and security, along with parking behind the security fence. Access is via a right of way.
The original technical tower remains on the site, and while not included in the sale, it does offer benefits.
The front entrance opens into a foyer that is fully enclosed with glass windows and features slate floors. It leads through to a reception area recently converted into a bar/café. These are spacious, versatile areas. The front of the building benefits from reverse-cycle air conditioning and has a large staircase leading to the upper level.
A built-in safe sits just outside a central hallway at the end of the reception space. Male and Female toilets sit immediately to the right, equipped with a powder area between them. A large kitchen is adjacent, and two offices are separated by one of five lower-level storerooms.
Two fully equipped production studios with green and blue screens sit at the rear of the ground floor. The studios benefit from a convenient artist/staff entry that directly accesses the rear space. The building has two upstairs portions. The first is at the front, and the second is at the rear, directly over the studio space.
The rear section offers four distinct office spaces with a hallway connecting them. The front section features seven office spaces, a spacious boardroom, a second kitchen and two storerooms. All these spaces are versatile and could be knocked through to create much larger areas (STCA).
This investment opportunity is ripe for renovation and redevelopment (STCA). The listing is open to local and interstate buyers with a vision to transform a once-prevalent commercial business site into something new and exciting for the region. If you have a dream, some imagination and business partners or investors ready to help you succeed - this is a location and an opportunity not to be missed.
