Not only is the former Royal Hotel a hauntingly beautiful building, but it is also framed by some of Tasmania's most spectacular landscape. Built in 1901, the original weatherboard hotel was lost in a fire in 1910 and was rebuilt in reinforced concrete, continuing to operate as one of the area's most well-loved and successful hotels. Sadly, the last drinks were poured in 1952. Today it stands as one of Tasmania's iconic landmarks, ready for a visionary renovator to revive the once majestic hotel building, or reopen the adjacent building as an artisan café, art studio/gallery, distillery, or providore specialising in regional produce. The possibilities are endless and only limited by your imagination.
Situated on a large 2266m2 allotment, the property borders the Linda Creek and includes a dwelling that operated as a café until its closure in 2025. Complete with a commercial kitchen, large living room, bedroom, and storage room. There is also a large two room shed that is perfect as a studio, workshop, or additional residence. The garden includes raised herb/vegetable beds, open grassed areas, 3 large water tanks, two external toilets, mains power and Starlink available, and spectacular views of the surrounding mountains.
This region is famous for its rugged landscape which is more akin to a moonscape, created by copper mining during the 1890's. Today, the area boasts strong tourist visitation numbers from the region's extensive tourism activities including fishing at Lake Burbury, Mount Owen mountain bike trails, bouldering, walking trails, the Queenstown Unconformity Arts Festival, and it is the gateway to the West Coast of Tasmania and world renowned pristine wilderness which includes the spectacular Franklin and Gordon Rivers and Frenchman's Cap. Gormanston/Linda is only 10 km from the historic township of Queenstown and 50 minutes from Strahan.
This is an affordable property offering unlimited scope for a visionary looking to escape Hobart or mainland cities, seeking a new and exciting project or direction in life. Not only could you create a beautiful home, but there is the potential to revive this once unique artisan café and perhaps tackle an ambitious restoration project and bring back to life one of Tasmania's best known architectural landmarks The Royal Hotel. The possibilities are simply endless.
