Set on a prominent 2,000m�* block opposite the Richmond River, the original Bank of Coraki, circa 1901*, presents a rare opportunity to secure a landmark property with scale, history and commercial potential.
Constructed in solid double brick and rich in period detail, the home retains its original character with 12-foot ceilings, hardwood floors, pressed metal ceilings, marble fireplaces and the original bank safe. These features create a clear point of difference for buyers seeking a high-end residence or a distinctive short-stay or hosted accommodation offering.
Importantly, Coraki is experiencing strong demand for short-term accommodation, with the local caravan park consistently reporting high occupancy. There is a clear gap in the market for quality Airbnb or boutique stays, positioning this property to capitalise on that demand from day one.
With RU5 Village zoning, the flexibility here underpins the opportunity. The layout supports multiple guest rooms and shared spaces, making it well suited to Airbnb, a hosted bed and breakfast or small-scale events.
The residence offers up to six bedrooms, including a master suite with walk-in robe and ensuite. Updated kitchen and bathrooms with stone benchtops, along with nine air conditioning units, provide modern comfort while maintaining the home's historic character.
A separate DA-approved creative studio adds further versatility, ideal for additional accommodation, a workspace or guest experiences. Outdoors, a half wrap-around verandah overlooks established gardens, complemented by an in-ground saltwater pool and original stables now used as a workshop.
For buyers, the opportunity is clear:
* Landmark building with strong historic appeal
* Ideal for Airbnb, boutique accommodation or hosted stays
* Proven demand for short-term accommodation in the area
* Flexible RU5 Village zoning
* Large 2,000m�* block with additional studio
* Saltwater swimming pool with water feature
* Access from main street and rear lane
* New roofing across all structures
Positioned in the heart of Coraki, just 23* minutes to Evans Head and 39* minutes to Ballina, this is a strategic acquisition combining lifestyle and income potential.
