Club Lime is proudly part of the ASX-listed Viva Leisure Property group, which includes several additional gym and aquatic brands.

Mr Tait highlighted the property’s significance: “This is one of Wagga’s biggest commercial property sales for 2024. We’ve received interest from Sydney and Melbourne, including institutional investment firms, private investors, larger farming enterprises and property investment firms.”

According to Mr Tait, the current owner, a local farmer, is selling the property to expand his farming enterprises.

The property, built by the current owner in 2016, offers modern and flexible facilities that can be adapted for various uses. Mr Tait explained, “The property features multiple electricity meters, allowing for potential subdivision, and additional electricity runs to the back of the block, supporting possible future industrial or retail development, subject to council approval.”

With a floor area of 2894 sqm and a land area of 5273 sqm, the property boasts a 120-vehicle customer car park with dual access points. There is also DA approval and infrastructure, such as a grease trap in place for a café and alfresco area.
