The iconic propety located on the northern outskirts of Moss Vale includes a licensed hotel, function rooms and accommodation and is set on 9.37 acres (or more than 37,920 sqm) of land.
The Briars Historic Inn features Georgian architecture.
It was originally established as the Royal Oak Inn in 1845. By the mid-20th century it was used as an art school by the prestigious Sydney Church of England Grammar School before becoming an Inn once more in 1974.
The Inn comprises intimate bars, loads of character, restaurant, open fires, two private dining rooms and alfresco dining area on the terrace or deck.
The Briars Country Lodge includes 31 fully-appointed suites, guest lounge with open fireplace and lakeside conservatory – catering for special occasions, functions and conferences.
All guest rooms offer ensuite with bath and a split level sitting room with French doors opening onto the gardens and lake. Interconnecting rooms are also available.
The value of the property is underpinned by two long-term fully secured commercial triple net leases.
The property is being marketed by Manenti Quinlan and Associates Pty Limited along with Cooper Hotel Brokers.
It is being sold by ‘Expression of Interest’ closing on June 22, 2017.
Gerry Quinlan of Manenti Quinlan and Associates said it was a privilege to be appointed to market the unique investment property. He said it was expected there would be local as well as interstate and international competition for the site, particularly from Asia.
“While Asian investors continue their love affair with Australia they now see Sydney just as another busy city,” he said.
“They are looking for trophy properties and lifestyle experiences in quality regional locations. This is evidenced by their recent acquisitions of vineyards and hospitality properties.
“Manenti Quinlan, through our International Division, has recently sold a total of 11 hospitality properties across Newcastle, Mid North Coast, Hunter Valley, South Coast and Southern Highlands.
“Recently there has been a stampede of investors heading to the Southern Highlands. It is expected this will continue with the sale of The Briars.
