Our Snowy alpine playgrounds have shifted up a gear or two in recent years to become year-round destinations, with mountain biking leading the push.
There’s also plenty of uptake in hiking, fishing and other outdoor recreation. Then there’s the annual skiing and snowboarding.
That adds up to an increase in the business appeal of short-stay accommodation.
The Touchdown Cottages in Jindabyne offer something different – totally off-grid solar-powered accommodation on a 12-hectare bush setting close to town.
The six beautifully designed eco-cottages create the ideal setting for adventurers and nature lovers.
Russell Rogers of Resort Brokers says this is one of the best business opportunities he has seen in the Snowy region.
“These cottages are absolutely top class, and that’s demonstrated in the strong forward bookings,” he says.
“Accommodation in the Alps is very tight, and quality offerings like this are rare.”
The cottages each offer two bedrooms, a kitchen, a bathroom and a large drying room.
Included is a two-bedroom owner’s residence, with a rentable one-bedroom flat, and an aircraft hangar for storage – handy with the Jindabyne airstrip right next door.
The cottages are adjacent to the proposed mountain bike park.
Rogers says a buyer can also factor in the potential to build four further cottages and an owner/manager residence, subject to relevant approvals.
