The Client

Our client engaged us with a very specific brief; to secure an acreage property with the potential to operate as a wedding and events venue, as well as delivering strong short-term rental returns. Working within a defined budget in a tightly held and niche market, the search required careful consideration of income potential, future value and capital investment.

Following detailed due diligence and strategic negotiation, we secured the asset well below the vendor’s expectations, delivering an immediate yield of approximately 12%, together with clear opportunities to further enhance returns and long-term value.
