fully operation 17 Room Guesthouse/ Property in heart of melville with various income opportunities
Melville House, situated in Johannesburg's artistic and charming Melville suburb, has a rich history as a popular international backpackers' destination. Following the impact of COVID, it has transitioned to provide affordable accommodations that align with modern travel needs.
Covering a combined area of 1,468 square meters across two properties, this guesthouse features two fully-equipped residences and additional outbuildings designed for double rooms and extra accommodations. Currently operating as a business, it is being sold fully furnished.
Full of rustic character, this property offers ample space for various business ventures. As the original structure, it has significant potential for transformation into multiple income-generating opportunities, such as a wellness center, step-down facility, student housing, or Airbnb rentals. Its prime location ensures convenient access to several hospitals, including Millpark, Helen Joseph, and Charlotte Maxeke, while being just 3-4 km from the University of Johannesburg's main campus and 2 km from the City Campus shopping center, with easy access to public transport.
