Historic Opportunity: Avenel Meats & Rear Dwelling for Sale
After four illustrious decades, the iconic Avenel Meats Butcher Shop and its accompanying rear dwelling are hitting the market.
Marking the end of an era in this cherished locale. Renowned master butcher Scotty Reid, a pillar of the community, has adorned the storefront with an antique 1930s delivery bike, serving as both a beacon and a symbol of tradition for those seeking the finest cuts and service.
Avenel Meats is as intrinsic to the Avenel community as its sausages, smoked goods, and other lines of local produce, including wines, chutneys, sourdough and cheese and more. For years, it has been a hub where quality and community converge a place where neighbours gather and stories are exchanged over the counter. As Scotty Reid and family, step away, the community fervently hopes for the legacy of the butcher shop to endure.
The Freehold (zoned commercial) and Dwelling, now available for new custodians, is presented as a blank canvas, fostering dreams of continued traditions or innovative transformations. Sold with vacant possession and boasting a range of amenities such as two cool rooms, reverse cycle heating and cooling, a storeroom, preparation room, and classic fridge counter, this space stands ready for seamless business continuation.
The rear residence, currently leased by a Beautician until February 2024, offers versatile possibilities. With two bedrooms, a well-equipped kitchen with gas cooking, a spacious living area, a bathroom, and a laundry, it provides a comfortable living arrangement. Its quaint front garden, picket fence, and spacious rear garden offer an inviting residential setting.
As much as the community would love to see another butcher, this property presents an open canvas for diverse ventures. Run a business from the front shop and live in the residence at the rear, fostering a seamless work-life balance. Alternatively, for investors, the opportunity exists to rent out the front shop while retaining the tenant in the rear dwelling, ensuring a steady income stream.
