BEFORE YOU TAKE THE NEXT STEP.
-
The Hunter Valley Wine Barns offers eligible wholesale investors the opportunity to earn monthly interest through promissory notes issued by The Wine Barns Pty Limited.
The investment supports the proposed redevelopment of the historic Ben Ean Estate in Pokolbin, transforming the precinct into a destination for wine, dining, artisan experiences and culture.
Investors can access interest rates of 11% to 14% p.a., depending on the amount invested. Investors lend to the issuer rather than acquiring ownership of the property. Capital and interest payments are not guaranteed.
-
Wine Barns offers fixed contractual interest rates ranging from 11% to 14% per annum, with higher rates available for larger individual investments.
Investment amount · Annual interest rate
$50,000 to $99,000 at 11% p.a.
$100,000 to $249,000 at 12% p.a.
$250,000 to $499,000 at 13% p.a.
$500,000 or more at 14% p.a.
Interest is calculated daily and scheduled to be paid monthly in arrears.
The applicable rate is determined by each investment transaction, rather than the combined value of separate investments. Fixed interest rates do not guarantee that payments will be made.
-
Wine Barns is structured to provide monthly interest payments, which may appeal to wholesale investors seeking income from private property development investments.
For example:
Investment · Approximate monthly interest
$100,000 at 12% p.a. — $1,000
$250,000 at 13% p.a. — $2,708
$500,000 at 14% p.a. — $5,833These figures illustrate gross interest calculated using one-twelfth of the annual rate. Actual monthly amounts depend on the number of days in the interest period, and payments are not guaranteed.
-
Located in Pokolbin, in the Hunter Valley wine region, Ben Ean Estate combines an established heritage setting with an ambitious redevelopment vision.
The proposed Wine Barns precinct brings together:
Heritage buildings adapted for contemporary use.
New buildings and landscaping designed to complement the estate.
Wine, dining, artisan and cultural experiences.
A staged redevelopment with a proposed property sale strategy.
The Wine Barns is a separate investment opportunity from the neighbouring Laval luxury hotel development.
-
The Wine Barns investment has a term of up to 36 months.
The proposed exit strategy involves selling the developed property to an expected related-party investment vehicle. Repayment depends on the successful funding and completion of the proposed transaction.
Investors should be prepared to hold their investment for the full term. There is no secondary market, and early redemption is at the issuer's discretion.
The proposed exit strategy does not guarantee repayment of capital or the timing of repayment.
-
Wine Barns investors participate through promissory notes issued by The Wine Barns Pty Limited, rather than acquiring direct ownership of the property.
Mortgage security is provided for following a specified default, subject to the conditions in the Information Memorandum. Until then, the notes are unsecured. Any mortgage security ranks behind senior lenders and does not guarantee repayment.
-
The Wine Barns opportunity is available to eligible wholesale investors, including investors who qualify under the applicable sophisticated investor provisions.
The minimum investment is $50,000, with higher interest rate tiers available for larger individual investments.
Raise Private Capital can help prospective investors understand the eligibility requirements, review the investment information and arrange access to the Information Memorandum.
Wholesale investor eligibility must be verified before investing.
-
As with other private property development investments, Wine Barns involves risks that should be considered alongside the potential interest returns.
These include planning and heritage requirements, construction delays, development costs, property market conditions and the availability of funding for the proposed sale.
Investors should also consider senior lender priority, limitations on security, the absence of a secondary market and restrictions on early redemption.
Interest payments and capital repayment depend on the issuer meeting its obligations. Investors could lose some or all of their invested capital.
The Information Memorandum explains the investment structure and material risks in greater detail.
