Have you ever dreamed of owning your own business? Have you ever wanted to live in Far North Queensland where the weather is hot no matter what, surrounded by dozens of beautiful happy dogs?

If the answer to any of these questions is yes, then you’d be barking mad to miss out on this once in a lifetime entrepreneurial opportunity. 

The highly reputable Kuranda Pet Resort is currently on the market for an asking price of $2.25m and is perfect for mum and dad investors, looking for a peaceful rural lifestyle.

Situated on 15.64 hectares (38.6 acres), the kennels draw clientele from the far north area, predominantly Cairns, and as a result of an excellent reputation and superior facilities for pet care, enjoys occupancy rates of approximately 92 per cent. 

The attention to detail of the current owners is highly valued by an established clientele as evidenced by months of forward bookings; maintenance of these high standards will see the business continue to thrive.

The resort comprises forty-two double kennels, roofed and insulated with adjoining outdoor exercise runs. The amenities block with reception area, public toilet, kitchen, grooming room, storage room and staff lunch room provide entry to the expansive kennel area behind. An existing licence for a cattery offers potential for the expansion of an already highly profitable business.

Situated just 20 minutes from Cairns northern beaches and approximately seven kilometres from Kuranda, this tranquil acreage is set amidst natural bushland with views of the surrounding forested hills.

The property has a deep bore with clean, fully-tested water, two large tanks and a seasonal creek. The bore provides supply across the property and feeds a closed water system including waste management with inline hair filters, water treatment tanks and underground trickle irrigation system.

A spacious, air-conditioned two-bedroom, two-bathroom home with cathedral ceilings and decks front and back offers comfortable accommodation in a large fully-fenced yard.

Approximately 6 acres of the property is cleared where well-established trees, gardens and lawns flourish; a small orchard separates the residence from the extensive kennels complex.

Other improvements include a 3-bay garage with roller doors, adjoining 2-bay carport and large office plus a new 2-bay high clearance shed with bathroom/laundry and septic. 

More detailed information and financial statements are available from the agent subject to confidentiality conditions.
