A Rare Lifestyle & Business Opportunity in Paradise
Lake Eacham Tourist Park is looking for its new owners, offering the chance to take over an established tourism business while living and working in one of the most beautiful natural settings on the Atherton Tablelands.Set on just under 7 acres and located approximately 1km from Crater Lakes National Park, this unique property offers an exciting combination of established income, lifestyle and future potential.
Currently, the onsite cabins operate as longer term accommodation, creating a simple and consistent income stream without the constant turnover and weekly cleaning associated with traditional holiday letting. The new owners can continue with the current model, return the accommodation to holiday letting and explore the potential to increase revenue, or create an entirely different business model to suit their vision.
The accommodation currently includes two cottages, three cabins, 12 powered sites including concrete slabs and drive through, plenty of unpowered camping sites, all nestled amongst beautiful natural surroundings.
And then there is the wildlife.
This is a true nature lover's paradise, with the property home to an incredible array of native wildlife. Tree kangaroos can sometimes be spotted amongst the surrounding vegetation, while the cassowary, a much loved local icon, is known to call the area home. The incredibly unique green ringtail possum can also be found here, along with an abundance of native birdlife. Birdwatchers travel from all over the world to the region to see different species throughout the year as they migrate through the area. Imagine owning a business where encounters with extraordinary Australian wildlife can simply be part of everyday life.
At the centre of the property is a gift shop, art gallery and café, complete with outdoor seating. Well loved and supported by locals, the business also benefits from passing trade from visitors travelling to Lake Eacham Crater, which has no nearby convenience store. The premises currently offers gas bottle refills and fuel as an additional service, although these can be removed should the new owner wish to take the business in another direction.
The manager's residence provides a wonderful private home with a relaxed country feel. Offering three bedrooms, one bathroom, a large kitchen with walk in pantry, open plan dining and living, fireplace and air conditioning, the home is perfectly suited to the lifestyle. Two balconies provide peaceful places to sit, unwind and enjoy the surrounding gardens and birdlife.
Underneath the residence is a private two bedroom unit, providing even greater flexibility. Use it to accommodate family and friends, provide separate staff accommodation or potentially include it within the rental pool for additional income.
Guests are well catered for with an amenities block and a large camp kitchen featuring a BBQ and open fireplace, a popular gathering place where travellers can relax, cook dinner and share stories after exploring the region.
There is also a large lockable shed with concrete flooring and power, providing excellent storage and workspace for the business.
The gardens are easy care yet impressive, blending established flowering plants, mature trees and natural rainforest to create a peaceful environment where nature is quite literally at your doorstep.
Currently operating with minimal staff and the owner working part time hours, this is a genuine lifestyle business with the potential to grow. Whether you continue the existing tourist park, expand the holiday accommodation, develop the commercial offering, explore the potential for further subdivision (STCA), or create your own vision for this extraordinary property, the opportunities are extensive.
Lake Eacham Tourist Park is more than a business, it is a way of life.
Wake up surrounded by rainforest, enjoy your morning coffee while listening to native birds, welcome travellers from around the world, and finish the day watching the wildlife come alive around the pond.
