Above is aerial view of the property,                                                   and below . . . the private site for the 4th Chalet features another stunning outlook.

There is no fear of over capitalisation with this site, it is simply awesome. "Camp Eden" is close by, position and outlook are "pure gold".        Natural walking trails are on the property and also in adjoining Parkland (NSW /Queensland border reserve). There is abundant bird life, extensive views of the Border Ranges and Pacific Ocean, and the Rainforest ambience is serene . . . . just the spot to develop an upmarket boutique "feelgood" resort..

A nearby property of similar land size with Cabins & a magnificent pool recently sold for M$2.65

Expressions of interest for Hanging Rock Chalets are being sought around M$1.85

Below looks down from high above and shows the  site boundaries,  the blue, red, and green chalets, and with the home and internal road coloured in white.

The 5 bedroom timber home (above right) was built in 1989 and three timber holiday cabins were added from 1999 to 2001.   The property had gained  advanced Eco Tourism accreditation (To our knowledge, the only other hinterland property with similar accreditation is the famous O'Rielly's Guesthouse and Rainforest Retreat)   The owners (original owners - this property has never changed hands since built), have until recently run "Hanging Rock Chalets" to suit their lifestyle, working  only about 20 hours a week each.  They averaged approx 60% occupancy on the 3 Chalets and enjoyed a beautiful and unique lifestyle. The  4th Chalet will be "back to nature" eco friendly with compost toilet and battery powered flyscreen walls.

Plans for a 4th (2 bedroom) Chalet are currently with Council and "the Vision" is that this, with a screened pool and Gazebo structure added, and with minor alterations to the home  will allow the property to realise it's full potential. Under new ownership, and with a redirection in marketing, Hanging Rock Chalets, as an up-market Boutique Eco Health Retreat would  be capable of accomodating up to 14 people in the Chalets & have a Conference / lecture / meeting

room and additional group dining area under the main house roof. The new operation will be cabable of generating a gross income of around $350,000 as a retreat offering relief from stress, relaxation, exercise, bush walks, healthy food, water aerobics etc. with minimum staff costs.

The "sky is the limit" in regards to the upgrading undertaken. As already stated, there is no fear of overcapitalisation as you have a Unique Rainforest site with extremely hard to get Advanced Eco Tourism accreditation already in place. All located 20 minutes from the Airport within easy access for your target market. Should you wish to conduct themed seminar weeks  and involve Health Professionals to deal with Quit Smoking, Body Detox, Healthy Lifestyle through Nutrition, Stress Relief, Yoga, Spiritual Development,Massage Life Coaching, Meditation & Relaxation Tuition, Reiki, Reflexology and the like,you can take "the vision" to a higher and more financially rewarding level. An indication of your options can be seen by visiting these sites; www.campeden.com.au , www.gwinganna.com , and www.stressbusters.com.au    There is absolutely huge potential !  For more information on the history of the property and "The Vision" please phone Terry on 07) 5584 1282; 0432 931 337 or email to terrymcmiles@bigpond.com

Note as of May 2010: The property has not been able to be sold due to an encroachment of the driveway over adjoining land. The Govt department involved is now prepared to solve what was an impasse with the owners by agreeing to swap their land at the front of the block that the driveway passes over for a similar piece at the rear. Quotes for surveys, re-drawing boundaries, legal costs associated with this will be approx $35,000
