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.

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.

• 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

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.
