A Nostalgic Slice of History: Schoolhouse Thornton - For Sale or Lease.

Step into a place where time stands still, & every corner tells a story at the Schoolhouse Thornton. An institution established in 1870 & reimagined as a café in 2020. Currently vacant, it also offers the flexibility to be converted into a residential home (STCA). Positioned on just under two acres (7741m2 approx) & originally a thriving primary school, this historic site concluded its educational chapter in 2013, only to embark on a new journey that weaves together the charm of the yesteryear with today's culinary delights.
Masterfully transformed, Schoolhouse Thornton now offers a delightful café experience, quickly established as a beloved dining destination for both residents & visitors, renowned for its delectable homemade pastries, locally sourced produce & exquistively brewed coffee.
The café retains enchanting educational relics, including display cases filled with nature specimens, vintage maps & hooks that once held countless schoolbags. The restrooms nod to their heritage with original sinks, & the grounds themselves are a haven of child friendly enjoyment, with basketball hoop & picnic-style tables, blending the joy of a school playground with the sophisticated charm of a top-tier café.
Adding to its appeal, Schoolhouse Thornton comes with approved plans & permits for the construction of four cabins, presenting a lucrative opportunity to expand into the accommodation sector & tap into a steady revenue stream from visitors drawn to the area's rich heritage & natural beauty.
Mentionable highlights include both off-street & internal parking, split system heating & cooling, separate bakehouse with study/office plus high quality fixtures, fittings, & appliances throughout.
Ideal for savvy investors or entrepreneurs enchanted by the blend of history & community, Schoolhouse Thornton offers a rare opportunity to own & expand a piece of the past, lovingly curated to celebrate & serve the present. Take the reins of this turnkey property & continue a legacy of warmth, welcome, & whimsical charm, or cultivate your creative vision to bring a myriad of endless other potential pursuits to life.
What an opportunity!
