Business Description

Desert Sands Motel delivers a rare freehold going concern opportunity in Boulia, western Queensland, combining property ownership with an established 12-room accommodation business generating consistent returns from corporate, contractor and tourist trade.

Strategically positioned on the Outback Way with 3,374 sqm of highway frontage, this turnkey operation benefits from Boulia's unique position as the only accommodation hub between Mount Isa, Winton, Alice Springs and Bedourie, capturing grey nomads, interstate travellers and commercial operators traversing Australia's iconic outback routes.

With an excellent 4.5 TripAdvisor rating, diversified revenue streams and limited competition in a high-barrier market, the motel operates efficiently with a two-person team while offering immediate trading capability alongside a separate two-bedroom owner's residence.

The property comprises 11 refurbished queen rooms and one two-bedroom self-contained apartment, all modernised with tiled floors and split systems, supported by 10 kW solar panels, three lockup storage sheds and industrial laundry facilities. Sold walk-in walk-out with all operational assets included, the business presents clear growth potential through the approved Outback Way project establishing a sealed diagonal highway from Cairns to Perth, positioning Desert Sands at the centre of this major interstate route. Infrastructure for restaurant and bar operations provides additional revenue opportunities, while an adjoining 3,000 sqm parcel with architectural plans offers future expansion scope.

This represents a secure regional investment combining profitable accommodation operations with authentic outback lifestyle in a welcoming community. Contact Resort Brokers today to explore this exceptional freehold opportunity.
