Former brothel offers unbeatable location

By Jo Kennett

A UNIQUE Chinderah property with an interesting history is up for auction on Thursday, April 13, at 11am, on site with Schmith Estate Agents.

The property at 1/33 Morton Street was once a brothel, but it’s now become a health practice and offers a rare opportunity with multiple potential uses.

The 600-square-metre building is over two levels.

Justin Schmith said the property offers a great location and would make a great nightclub.

It hasn’t operated as a brothel for several years and was of course fully sanitised by the previous owners.

“The current owners bought it to set up an allied health practice but the border lockdowns stopped their operation,” Justin told The Weekly Real Estate.

“So they set up their operations from home and then realised they didn’t need it.

“You could run a dance studio in it, it could be used to run a construction company or as a showroom; it’s really open to a lot of interpretation.

“It could be run as a mental health practice — there is a huge need for that at the moment — or a wellness consultancy.

“The building would also make a cracking nightclub or you could convert it all into conference rooms; there are plenty of features that would lend themselves to that.

“It would be relatively easy to open up. It’s all suspended slab concrete so it’s pretty solid.”

The property is chock-a-block full of fantastic features.

The facade provides excellent signage opportunities with plenty of onsite parking directly to the door.

The site has great security, as you could imagine, and is fully fenced with an electronic gate which once kept those pesky partners at bay.

The building is completely fitted out with high quality finishings.

Justin said it’s an “unbeatable location” 11 kilometres south of the Gold Coast Airport, five kilometres from Kingscliff Beach and just four kilometres from the soon-to-be-completed Tweed Valley Hospital.

The land is zoned general industrial so there are plenty of uses. This property did not flood in 2022 (the highest floods on record in the area) and is located just off the M1 in a wellestablished industrial estate.

The building is wheelchair accessible with an accessible bathroom.

The ground floor offers eight off-street car parks with an abundance of on-street parking available as well.

It has five spacious and wellappointed rooms, each with a fully-equipped ensuite, as well as a commercial kitchen, a laundry and a staff ensuite.

It has a front reception area and large open plan rooms, lending itself to a number of uses.

There are another two restrooms, fully-ducted air-conditioning unit to all areas and rooms, CCTV and a sound system and speakers wired throughout all areas.

The top floor has a large open plan floor space and stage perfect for seminars, education and training.

There is CCTV, a bar, sound system, projector, laser lighting and four more well-appointed rooms on the top floor, along with a large locker space and two more bathrooms.

Upstairs has five split system airconditioning units.
