This is a unique opportunity to live in stunning natural surrounds and re-establish an easy to run, profitable small resort.

Featuring a renovated 4 bedroom family home with 6 existing timber tourist cabins, plus a BONUS building over 200 square metres, being the former restaurant, bar, cafe and 3 bedroom managers residence.

Set on 23 acres, the property sits proudly at the end of Chichester Dam Road, neighbouring the Dam of the same name - a popular picnic and recreation spot at the southern reaches of the Barrington Tops National Park.

This is a very affordable Sydney tree change opportunity - what's your vision?

The options are only limited by your imagination. Do you re-open the cafe to serve hungry Mountain Bikers and families on picnics at the dam? There's no rush, you've got a lovely home to live in and all the time in the world to create your ultimate work from home scenario.
