As a child most people had some idea of what they wanted to be when they grew up, and they weren’t always even as realistic as becoming an astronaut, detective or pop star.
But now, with your dreams of fighting crime or topping the pop charts long since extinguished, your aspiration to hunt dinosaurs... well, it can’t exactly be fulfilled but BusinessesForSale.com is offering the next best thing to frustrated palaeontologists.
The world’s largest directory of business opportunities advertises countless other quirky and unusual businesses which your inner child, stamping his feet, will scream at you to buy.
Among these are holiday lodgings consisting of 24 tree houses and set amid a 20-acre forest, and the chance to own your very own glow-in-the-dark mini-golf course.
Why not become a Dinosaur hunter?
Few of us weren’t captivated by dinosaurs as children (even if we could neither spell nor pronounce palaeontology). However, dreams of becoming an archaeologist went unfulfilled for most of us. But fear not, you can still run ‘Australia’s only online dinosaur store’. The steady stream of excited young customers can only reawaken your childhood wonder at the lost world of the stegosaurus, pterodactyl and tyrannosaurus rex.
Fancy owning the ultimate tree house?
Tree Houses of Montville, situated next to the stunning Kondalilla Park in south-east Queensland, boasts 24 cabins, two swimming pools, a gymnasium and a fully licensed restaurant. It also turns over between $500,000 and $1.5m – not that your inner child cares about that. It’s more preoccupied with the idea of people living in tree houses amid 20 acres of verdant forest and waterfalls. It’s the ultimate club house – exactly what you yearned for as a child!
The ultimate playground boast
Imagine how proud you’d have been at school if you could declare: “I can play mini golf whenever I want because my dad owns a mini-golf course.” Well, now you can! Well, your kids can, if you have them, if you bought this glow-in-the-dark Monster Mini Golf Course in the heart of Rhode Island. Open the ‘hole’ year round, this 18-hole course also includes two beautiful gothic/victorian function rooms, a gaming arcade and a state-of-the-art sound system.
Faye Ferris, Commercial Director at Dynamis Plc, the online media group that runs BusinessesForSale.com, says: “We are continually amazed by how popular these unique and quirky businesses are with first-time buyers and experienced buyers alike. It certainly suggests that buyers see the ‘fun factor’ as one of the most important considerations when buying a business.”
