Nestled in the hills of Crackenback, at an altitude of 1200m and surrounded by 100 acres of bushland, is Ultimo Lodge.
Ultimo is a retreat-style multi-dwelling property that operated for more than 30 years as a commercial 64-bed lodge (plus 4 onsite staff), offering accommodation for corporate retreats, school groups and friends and families.
Now, for the first time ever, it’s on the market, ready for a visionary who can see its potential to either restore it as a thriving business or give it a brand new beginning by redeveloping it, perhaps into a dream family getaway (stca).
Conveniently located just 26 minutes to Thredbo Village and 15 minutes to Jindabyne, its private location is an ideal base to explore everything the region has to offer.
The original A-Frame dwelling was built in 1975 and has quintessential ski lodge charm. It opens up to a dining hall area, constructed in the early to mid 2000s, complete with underfloor heating and gas fireplace.
The fully functioning commercial kitchen is capable of pumping out 60+ meals in a sitting, and the site is approved to sell alcohol, meaning functions – even destination weddings – will be a breeze.
The dining area flows seamlessly into the lounge area, separated by an open stone fireplace, with floor-to-ceiling windows for ample natural light. There’s plenty of space for guests and kids – with an upstairs rumpus hang-out space they can escape to and an outdoor entertaining area with a huge outdoor firepit perfect for toasting marshmallows or taking a selfie with the wallabies that come to visit.
The property consists of several one and two bedroom guest cabins each with its own bathroom. These private cozy cabins provide the perfect place to retreat to and unwind after a day on the mountains without skimping on space.
The additional onsite managers quarters means no stress in finding accommodation for your staff.
There is no denying there would be some work involved however, opportunities – and properties like this – are extremely rare to come by.
