Bathurst is booming and this property represents a singular opportunity to buy a
stunningly reimagined piece of history right in the heart of its vibrant CBD.
Visionary owners have converted The Wool Store into multi-level New York loft style,
luxury accommodation. We’re talking a luxury penthouse, five apartments and an
oversized commercial space that could convert into even more accommodation.
This spectacular triple bricked heritage building was built in 1875 as a bulk-delivery
store for selling grain and wool. Original industrial features including the loading
doors and gantry are fully intact and have been made a feature of the building.

  • New plumbing and ABI tapware throughout.
  • New internet cabling (wired and wireless), reverse cycle A/C.

internal fabric of the building is preserved.

Steeped in history, Bathurst is Australia’s oldest inland European settlement and is
now a booming regional city with an exciting annual calendar of tourism events.

beautiful regional city, make sure that it is you, enjoying the moment. This is truly a
rare opportunity.
