Iconic Gympie Café & Residence – Freehold Opportunity in Prime Position
Positioned on one of Gympie’s highest ridgelines, this solid 1950s double-brick building offers a rare chance to secure a well-known local business and residence in one of the town’s oldest and most character-filled precincts.
Overlooking the famous Mary Valley Rattler and surrounded by historic homes and landmarks, including the nearby Railway Hotel, this east-facing property combines lifestyle, income, and long-term value.
At the heart of the offering is SoMa SoMa – a fully established, licensed café that has become a true local favourite. Renovated and operating since 2016, the café features an industrial, relaxed aesthetic with polished concrete floors, rendered brick walls, and seamless indoor-outdoor flow through bi-fold and French doors.
Open seven days a week, plus popular Friday night dining, the café enjoys a loyal following and strong daily trade, serving 200+ coffees and over 150 meals each day. With indoor and outdoor seating, a fully equipped commercial kitchen, licensed bar, and all plant and equipment included, this is a walk-in, walk-out opportunity with an experienced team already in place.
Adding further convenience for both customers and staff, there are approximately 40 unregulated parking spaces available in the immediate surrounding area. The property is also equipped with a 5kW solar system, helping to reduce running costs for both the business and residence.
Upstairs, the property continues to impress with a beautifully renovated New York loft-style apartment. Completed in 2018, the space is light-filled and thoughtfully designed, offering open plan living, a luxury bathroom, timber floors, and a spacious master bedroom.
The kitchen features quality appliances and bespoke finishes, flowing effortlessly through oversized glass doors to a large rear deck overlooking established gardens, including mature mango and poinciana trees. With added features such as a butler’s pantry, air conditioning, and secure access, the residence provides a comfortable and private retreat above the business with little to no noise from below.
Importantly, the upstairs residence also presents an ideal Airbnb or short-stay accommodation opportunity, capitalising on the property’s unique character, central location, and proximity to key local attractions.
Whether you’re looking to invest, relocate, or embrace a live-and-work lifestyle, this unique freehold opportunity places you right at the centre of Gympie’s thriving community.
