109 Riverstone Road, Gordonvale, Qld 4865

109 Riverstone Road puts a character timber home and a substantial Totalspan shed on 1,228 m² of Medium Impact Industry land, in one of Gordonvale's highest exposure positions. For a tradie or small business owner, it is the chance to stop paying rent on a yard somewhere else and run the business from home.

The home is a Council-approved three-bedroom timber cottage, currently presenting as two bedrooms and a study. It has the character you would expect of the era: VJ walls, high ceilings, an enclosed sunroom with French doors, gas cooking in the kitchen, and a large walk-through storage room. Alongside it sits a 175 sqm Totalspan portal frame shed, approximately 11.5 metres by 15 metres of clear span, with hardstand around it for vehicles, materials and plant. A gazetted road at the rear means no reversing out onto the main road.

What sets this one apart is the planning work already done. Cairns Regional Council has approved two separate pathways for the site. The first allows the existing dwelling to be demolished and replaced with a new two-storey building, an industrial shed at ground level with three-bedroom caretaker's accommodation above. The second approves the renovation or removal of the existing dwelling and its replacement with a three-bedroom home on a building footprint up to 20 per cent larger than the current one. Either way, a buyer takes on a site where the hard part is behind them. Copies of the decision notices are available on request.

The Medium Impact Industry zoning opens the door to trade and contracting, storage or a depot, landscaping supplies, a plant nursery, pet boarding or grooming, a showroom, workshop or studio, subject to Council approval.

Gordonvale is moving. The Cairns Gateway development has commenced, with a service station and Banjo's Bakery already approved, and the town remains an easy run into Cairns for a business that wants a local base without city overheads.

Offered at $780,000, vacant possession.
