THE chance to live and work in and shape the community of Mission Beach is guaranteed to attract plenty of interest.

Owners Mattie Rix and Chris Lawrence made the tough decision to sell the business after the birth of their first child six months ago.

“We are not moving, we started a family and decided it GARAGE BAR AND GRILL OWNER MATTIE RIX was time for something different, Ms Rix said.

“It’s a great little business, we just wanted to spend more time with the family.

“It would suit a couple who wants to work in … a nice size bar. It’s very much a locals bar, too, the tourists are just a bonus. It’s a really amazing business opportunit­y, it’s hard work but in a good way. “It’s rewarding.” Mission Beach First National agent Di Wagner said the well-establishe­d business, which began in 2012, was a chance for someone to “walk in, take up the lease and begin to make money”.

“Living in this tropical paradise is the bonus that makes working here a breeze,” Ms Wagner said. “The busy bar has live music on Sundays and boutique beers on tap.

“It is currently only operating three days per week, so there is enormous amount of room to expand by extending the operating hours.

“Mission Beach is becoming an increasing­ly popular tourist destinatio­n and the already extensive promotions of the area are sure to escalate in the near future as the region blossoms once more.”

A two-bedroom, self-contained apartment on the upper level of the building is included in the lease and can be rented at $600 per week.

The cosy abode is popular on Airbnb.
