The Dove - Commercial or Private Use Opportunity

Originally built in 1994 by Richard Scrivens, this exceptionally well-maintained houseboat presents an opportunity to secure a quality vessel in very good condition.

Whether you're looking for a commercial investment or a private liveaboard lifestyle, this vessel is ready to impress.

Currently in commercial survey, The Dove is fully equipped for hire use but can also be purchased for private enjoyment, making it an ideal floating home or holiday escape option.

Inside, the layout is both spacious and functional. The houseboat features four bedrooms, three of which include double beds, one with an overhead single bunk and all with built-in storage. The rear of the vessel is currently set up as a fourth bedroom for hire purposes but its flexible layout makes it perfect to be reimagined as a rear lounge with a day bed or sofa bed- and it can easily be converted back to a fourth bedroom when needed.

At the front of the boat, an open-plan lounge, dining, and kitchen space offers both comfort and style. The lounge includes a 3-seater leather sofa and two matching chairs, while the dining area showcases a stone-top table with seating for eight together with attractive and functional built-in storage.

The light-filled kitchen is finished with glossy white cabinetry and a generous stone benchtop. It comes complete with ample storage cupboards and with quality appliances including a Miele dishwasher, 4-burner gas cooktop, built-in Westinghouse gas oven and microwave, and two 210L fridge/freezers.

There are two modern, fully tiled 2-way bathrooms, the main featuring a spa bath and shower, and the second with a shower, laundry facilities including inbuilt washer/dryer, storage cupboards, and a marine toilet in each.

Throughout the living areas and bedrooms, you'll find quality commercial-grade carpets in excellent condition. Evaporative air conditioning is ducted into the bedrooms for comfort during the warmer months.

Above, a bimini-covered upper deck offers the perfect spot for laid-back entertaining--think sunset drinks with friends, casual BBQs, or simply relaxing with a good book while taking in the stunning Murray River views. It's an easy, comfortable space to unwind, enjoy great company, and soak up the best of river life.
