Rarely does an opportunity of this calibre become available in the heart of Ararat's CBD. Situated on a single 1000 sqm title, this offering includes two double-fronted commercial shops that combine solid brick construction, functional layouts, and strong investment and/or redevelopment credentials. With a total building size of 120sqm plus approximately 81sqm of versatile basement storage, the property balances space and practicality in a prime location.
At 208 Barkly Street, the premises are currently vacant, providing an excellent opportunity for a new tenant or owner-occupier. Featuring a light-filled 45sqm front retail area, internal stairs to a generous basement space, and convenient rear access, this shop is well suited to a wide variety of business types. The basement area also presents exciting potential for future redevelopment-whether converted into additional office space, workspace, or secure storage, it offers significant value-adding possibilities. With an estimated rental income of $12,000 per annum (ex GST), it holds strong appeal for investors or business owners alike.
Next door, 206 Barkly Street is occupied by a well-established massage service tenant, delivering a reliable annual income of $16,192.32 ex GST plus full outgoings. The retail floor space comprises approximately 60sqm and includes a fully equipped kitchen and staff amenities, along with internal stairs leading to the basement and direct rear access.
Both properties enjoy high visibility from their double-fronted facades and benefit from convenient rear sealed lane access along with ample angled parking along bustling Barkly Street. The central location, strong street presence, and flexible configurations make this a standout opportunity for investors seeking immediate income and future growth, or for owner-occupiers looking to establish their business in one of Ararat's most tightly held commercial precincts. This is a rare and rewarding chance to secure a premium CBD asset in a high-demand locale.
