Mr Shadforth said the castle is situated on a 4,751 sqm block and there is the option to purchase adjoining manager’s and caretaker’s residences for a total land area if 8,242 sqm.

“We have already had a large number of enquiries about the Bli Bli Castle from across Australia and around the world,” he said.

“This is an established business and award winning tourist attraction and function venue which promotes history, encourages education and facilitates unique celebrations.”

Mr Shadforth said the castle offered an opportunity for an astute investor, a local with a passion for an iconic landmark or an international buyer to secure an historic building and prime property site within the growing Queensland tourism sector.
