One of the most historic sites in the Dandenong Ranges has been listed for sale through CBRE Hotels.
Now occupied by the CountryPlace Conference and Function Centre, the Mount Dandenong site was settled by pioneers Isaac Jeeves and his wife Ann, who built the first house in the Dandenongs in 1860.
They went on to be hoteliers, providing guest house accommodation on the site for Melbourne’s well-to-do.
Today, the site accommodates the long established and highly awarded CountryPlace Conference and Function Centre, which specialises in tailored conferences and events.
CBRE Hotels been exclusively appointed to steer the sale of the property, which is located within 50 minutes’ drive of the Melbourne CBD.
“Specialist accommodation and function venues such as CountryPlace benefit greatly from being in close proximity to Melbourne’s city and metropolitan areas,” CBRE Hotels’ Scott Callow said.
“These types of properties are rarely offered to the market, with few developments like this having been undertaken in recent times.”
CountryPlace offers a total of 62 guest rooms and variety of function rooms, allowing for multiple events to be undertaken at the same time.
It occupies a freehold site of over 5 hectares, which includes a pool and tennis courts.
The owners have also established a small museum of photographs and artefacts celebrating the early settlers at CountryPlace.
The property is being sold by Expressions of Interest, closing Thursday 9 July.
