Nestled within the peaceful rural community of Nukuhou, 1508 State Highway 2 East presents a unique opportunity to combine business potential with a relaxed country lifestyle.
Positioned prominently on State Highway 2, the property comprises a freehold site of approximately 873sqm with a building of approximately 230sqm. Of this, approximately 96.2sqm is currently configured as retail premises and storage, while the remaining area provides two-bedroom living accommodation, creating an appealing live-and-work configuration. To the front of the building, there is a covered porch and patio area, providing a welcoming space for customers and outdoor seating. The commercial portion includes a full cafe and retail fit-out, providing a strong foundation for a new owner to establish their own venture.
The property also includes a separate two-bedroom self-contained unit to the rear, providing additional accommodation and flexibility. With prominent State Highway 2 exposure, easy pull-in access and on-site parking, the property is well positioned to capture passing traffic, including local school traffic, farmers and commuters travelling to and from Whakatane.
Importantly, this is not the sale of the existing business. Instead, the opportunity is to acquire a fully fitted commercial property and create a business that reflects your own vision. The existing configuration could lend itself to a cafe, takeaway, retail store, gallery, deli, workshop or a completely different concept, subject to the relevant approvals.
Offering the opportunity to live, work and establish your own business from one property, this versatile holding combines commercial potential, residential accommodation and relaxed country living in a peaceful rural setting.
