Want to buy a pub?
The Linville Hotel is on the market again, just two years after its current owners purchased it. This marks the third time the hotel, which earned a national nomination for ‘Best Pub Stay’ in January, has been up for sale in the past five years.
The hotel’s current owners, Tanya and Evan Grimward, along with Tracey and Cathal Diver, made the announcement on Tuesday.
“It’s with very mixed emotions that we confirm we have made the tough decision to put our beloved hotel on the market,” the owners said in a statement.
“As many of you know, we have strong ties to the region that go back five generations, including our grandmother working in the hotel, so it’s been an emotional decision to put it on the market.”
Records show the four owners purchased the pub for $1.15 million in April 2022.
The 130-year-old pub sits on two titles covering 2,024 sqm and has recently undergone an extensive renovation.
The property features sprawling traditional Queensland pub-style verandahs, as well as dining and lounge areas overlooking a manicured lawn, beer garden, fi re pit, and entertainment platform.
The hotel boasts seven serviced bedrooms accommodating 16 beds, which are very popular with visitors on the Brisbane Valley Rail Trail, agents stated.
The pub also includes a full commercial kitchen and a residence comprising an open-plan lounge, kitchenette, three bedrooms, a spacious bathroom, and verandahs on three sides, along with a spa pool and BBQ area.
The residence has four undercover parking spaces.
While the owners did not disclose the specific reasons for selling the hotel, they mentioned it was for personal reasons.
“We have loved every minute of our ownership, but for personal reasons, it’s time to hand the reins over to someone else to take it to the next level,” they said.
“We have worked hard and made many sacrifices during our ownership to build the venue, and we hope we have done the community proud.”
The pub was sold in 2019 before the previous owners sold it to the current owners in 2022.
In their statement, Tanya, Evan, Tracey, and Cathal expressed their confidence that the next owners will continue the legacy of The Linville Hotel.
“We know the next owners will take it even further and give this glorious building the recognition she deserves,” they said.
