At $1,200,000, this functioning ‘inn’ at 70 Rossi Street, built around 1847, will impress with its sensitive renovation and high profits as an operating Bed and Breakfast, right in the heart of Yass.

The Globe Inn is a top-rated B & B with an excellent reputation and strong turnover, now being offered as a tempting walk-in, walk-out opportunity.

This building has been beautifully and sympathetically renovated, and is set in a 1242 square metre cottage garden adjacent to the main street of Yass.

This great opportunity includes a private residence for the owners, complete with kitchen and bathroom, so while the rest of the house is operating as a busy home away from home for travellers, you have your escape and privacy.

The property is extremely elegant, and each room feels comfortable and sophisticated. The seven bedrooms and seven bathrooms are light and welcoming.

Some of the many features of The Globe include soaring ceilings, beautiful solid timber floors, many fireplaces and wide skirtings. The property is constructed of double brick, and retains many original doors and windows.

The main bathroom of this Georgian treat has a cast-iron claw-foot bath and fireplace. It’s distinctively atmospheric.

Yass is a bustling, historic town only 45 minutes from Canberra, less than three hours from Sydney and is surrounded by country vistas and vineyards, a perfect position for boutique accommodation.

The town is situated at the convergence of the Hume Highway, Barton Highway, the Lachlan Valley Way and Burley Griffin Way which ensures plenty of passing traffic.

The region’s tourism industry is booming, with popular wineries, winery restaurants and cellar-doors only 15-minutes away.

In Yass itself there are many attractions such as river walks and gardens, an exceptional wine bar, Yazzbar, and the award-winning, hatted Clementine Restaurant, both situated close to The Globe Inn.

The unique, high-quality accommodation experience provided by The Globe is always in high demand. Why not try a night for yourself?
