A rare and strategic opportunity in the heart of Ararat's busiest commercial precinct, 266 & 268 Barkly Street offer a combined site that is ripe for transformation. Whether you're an owner-occupier seeking a high-exposure location or a developer looking for your next project, this dual-fronted holding delivers on size, location, and future potential.
Perfectly positioned in the center of Ararat's most densely developed commercial strip, this high-profile property is surrounded by national retailers, service stations, local businesses, and directly opposite the well-frequented Ararat Central Motel. With constant foot traffic and heavy passing vehicles, the exposure here is unmatched.
Offered together, 266 and 268 Barkly Street sit on a combined landholding of approx. 508sqm with excellent street frontage and rear lane access - providing a rare chance to consolidate into a single large commercial footprint.
266 Barkly Street: Open retail floorplan with rear storage, staff kitchenette, and flexible layout ideal for a variety of business types.
268 Barkly Street: Welcoming reception area, kitchenette, staff room and amenities - well-suited to office, consulting, or specialty retail use.
Currently tenanted by a long-standing barber and op shop on month-to-month agreements, the site delivers a modest holding income of $11,539.20 per annum, giving you flexibility to plan your next move while generating interim returns.

Highlights include:

• Rare double-title freehold in Ararat's main commercial zone
• Land size approx. 508 sqm
• Excellent development or redevelopment potential (STCA)
• Rear lane access for deliveries or future design flexibility
• Ideal for merging into a single large premises or multi-use development
• Surrounded by major brands, fuel stations, motels, and essential services
• Solid short-term income with flexible tenancy arrangements

This is a tightly held pocket of Barkly Street with very few opportunities of this scale and flexibility. Whether you're planning to launch your business, expand your footprint, or undertake a full redevelopment, this site ticks all the boxes for location, access, and long-term growth.
Seize the opportunity - premium real estate like this rarely hits the market in central Ararat.
