Set in the very heart of Ringarooma, this character-filled building presents an increasingly rare opportunity first and foremost as a potential residence or live/work conversion, while still offering outstanding scope as a commercial space in one of Tasmania's country towns on the rise.
With its flexible layout and existing plumbing provisions, the property offers genuine scope to convert all or part of the building into residential accommodation (STCA). The rear renovation, completed in June 2025, includes shower plumbing and its own private access, making it ideally suited to a self-contained apartment, owner-occupier residence, or short-stay accommodation. The soundproof separation between front and rear spaces also lends itself perfectly to a live/work setup operate a business at the front while enjoying private living quarters behind.
The current Tulip & Oak fit-out will be removed (replacement optional), and the business is not for sale, providing a true blank canvas for your own residential, commercial, or mixed-use vision.
The front of the building is rich in charm and history, originally operating as a bookies office and featuring pressed tin walls and ceilings, beautiful oak flooring, and a large original safe still in use. Whether retained as a commercial space or incorporated into a residential design, this character-filled area offers warmth and personality that would be difficult and expensive to replicate.
Ringarooma itself is gaining real momentum. With growing tourism, new small businesses emerging, and a strong community-led push for revitalisation, the township is evolving into an appealing lifestyle destination.
Located just 18 minutes from Derby Australia's mountain biking capital and positioned on the route to Pyengana and Mathinna, the property benefits from passing tourist traffic and increasing visitor numbers. Natural attractions including Ralph Falls and the Legerwood Memorial Trees further enhance the area's appeal.
The current owners are relocating their business across the street into a larger premises as part of their commitment to growing the town and are motivated to create opportunities for others to bring fresh ideas to this welcoming community.
Character, flexibility, lifestyle potential and location combine to make this an exciting opportunity whether you're seeking a residence, investment, business premises, or a blend of all three. Bring your vision. Create your space. Be part of Ringarooma's next chapter.
