The possibilities are endless with the entry of the rural home and renowned chocolate business - frequented by some of the most famous faces in Australia - onto the regional New South Wales real estate market.
Located only 30 minutes from Canberra in the iconic cool climate wine district at Murrumbateman, "Boolarong" is the complete package, a business and shopfront with a separate four-bedroom, two living room cottage set on 9.6 hectares (96,000m2) of easy care land.
The property features quality phalaris pastures for grazing, hills with woodland trees and a permanently flowing creek, and what will really take your breath away is the stunning spring-fed dam spilling out from the expansive lawns fronting the shopfront.
The award-winning Robyn Rowe Chocolates is renowned for quality, handcrafted delicacies made with the finest Belgian chocolate. It has hosted famous guests including Olympic gold medallists, the current Prime Minister (the infamous hot chocolate was a hit!) and is regularly included in the itinerary of international ambassadors and their guests visiting Canberra.
Robyn Rowe Chocolates has an established presence in the tourism and hospitality industry, including extensive media coverage extending to the ABC, Qantas Magazine and being named in the Australian Traveller's Top 100 ways to holiday here this year.
Robyn Rowe Chocolates is nestled along the Harvest Hamper Trail, making it an integral part of regional events such as the Moving Feast and tour itineraries. The property is ideally positioned for expansion or to be transformed into another business venture, complementing the local wine industry or even the neighbouring renowned accommodation oasis, Redbrow Garden.
If a business concept doesn't appeal, however, the chocolate shop could be converted into a second dwelling (subject to council approval) for those needing the space or an additional rental income stream, with a solar system and double-glazed windows adding to the appeal.
Established gardens keep the property's home hidden from the business and the road, enabling the new owner's complete privacy when enjoying the views from the north-facing verandah that wraps around one side of the home. It features an open plan kitchen/dining/living area surrounded by timber-framed windows allowing natural light to stream through.
Year-round comfort is provided with a split system and a slow combustion wood fireplace connected to a heat transfer system to warm the home, while the quality cork tile flooring gives the open plan area warmth against the light, neutral walls and tiles.
A formal sitting room opens out via double doors to the centre of the verandah, allowing for maximum views of the stunning rural setting.
The largest bedroom was added to the home later and features a tiled ensuite with bath and direct access to the deck and those sweeping views, while the remaining three bedrooms are conveniently located next to the main bathroom, which includes a second bath.
The home is made complete with the laundry conveniently accessed from either the kitchen or the back verandah.
"Boolarong" is ready for its new owners to take the property to another level. Robyn Rowe is turning 80 this year and has decided to hand Boolarong over to continue its legacy of being a place of plenty.
