Marketed by Nathan Moore and Alex Sinclair of RWC Bayside, the locally-loved waterfront property will go under the hammer on-site at 10am on Wednesday, 12 June 2025 and is set to be one of the most high profile Redlands auctions of the year.
Perched on a 1,290sqm site* with over 20 metres of direct frontage to Moreton Bay, the heritage-listed Cleveland Courthouse is a landmark property that blends historic charm with contemporary functionality.
“This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to secure one of the Redlands’ most treasured buildings,” said Nathan Moore.
“It’s more than a property; it’s a piece of Cleveland’s identity, and it's ready for its next chapter in the hands of a visionary operator or investor.”
Originally built as a courthouse, the property has long served as a beloved hospitality venue.
The restored interior retains period features such as timber floors, exposed brickwork, and a working fireplace, while incorporating modern conveniences.
The venue comprises approximately 485sqm of internal space and 165sqm of covered outdoor dining, making it ideal for everything from casual dining to weddings and large-scale events.
“This site delivers the ultimate blend of history, character, and location,” said Alex Sinclair.
“With a fully equipped commercial kitchen, three private dining rooms, and a self-contained two-bedroom apartment with bay views, it’s truly turnkey for restaurateurs or event operators.”
The Cleveland Courthouse has played host to countless celebrations, fine dining experiences, and community events over the years. Its bayfront position, combined with the old-world architecture is well known by Redlands locals.
“This kind of offering is extremely rare,” said Mr Moore.
“The Cleveland shoreline is tightly held, and opportunities like this don’t come around often, particularly with such rich history and immediate operational potential.”
