Tallagandra Hill - Bringing new meaning to escape to the country with a lifestyle business that has led to an iconic brand and destination unlike any other in the Canberra Region.
A captivating architecture designed homestead encapsulates exceptional versatility and ensures plenty of space for the entire family. With a solar-passive design the home is flooded with natural light and offers segregated living areas, spacious kitchen and four bedrooms, master with ensuite and walk in robe. The study located upstairs is the perfect place to sit and work while overlooking the picturesque vineyard. Entertaining is made easy with a selection of courtyards and patios to enjoy.
For ten years, Tallagandra Hill has evolved into an award-winning Music and Special Events Venue which is recognised as a leader and key player within Australia's live music industry. It's a place where Australia's most iconic artists want to come to perform in a space with unique character and beautiful surroundings. The venue delivers exceptional food and wine experiences linked to storytelling and classic Australian music. The focus is on 'matching wine with mood' through unforgettable experiences.
Tallagandra Hill has hosted tens of thousands of customers and hundreds of artists, with an average of 30 music shows and 30 private events annually, including celebrity artists such as Jimmy Barnes, Kate Ceberano, The Black Sorrows, Troy Cassar-Daley, The Waifs and many more. It is also a venue which has hosted countless weddings, corporate and private events following the expansion of the cellar door business and function space and, in recent years, the addition of bespoke cottage accommodation and signature art installations.
Tallagandra Hill now hosts over 1500 'family' members and up to 10,000 visitors per year. By connecting music, art and events into its product mix, it has driven a high level of energy and engagement, well beyond that of traditional wine and agribusiness tourism. On offer now is an outstanding, unique opportunity to take ownership of an already thriving business and build upon its diverse and distinct four income streams:
1. Destination weddings, corporate and private events;
2. Music events;
3. Boutique accommodation - indulgent cottage stays and on-farm experiences;
4. Award-winning wines - wine growing and making, products and cellar door sales.
With established contractors to help manage all aspects of the event management and production, catering and vineyard management; and with David and Mary open to assist new owners with a staged transition, there's never been a better opportunity for a new custodian to take Tallagandra Hill to its next level. Perhaps you've a background in event management and hospitality but wish to branch out; maybe you have a passion for music and exploring industry links; or you are looking for a change in lifestyle and a turn-key investment which allows you the flexibility to expand what is already a thriving business while enjoying a rural lifestyle. Tallagandra Hill has navigated challenging times and evolved into a diverse, resilient business with enormous heart, engagement and momentum.
Tallagandra Hill is being sold with infrastructure, equipment, machinery and hospitality inventory to ensure uninterrupted property/events and vineyard operations. A superb turn-key opportunity with 12 months of forward bookings already in place.
