Nestled in the tightly held rural residential suburb of Oak Valley, towards the rear of the suburb, in the foothills, this distinctive home offers arguably Townsville’s most affordable acreage opportunity.
Built with an unmistakable European flair by its first owners, the home, which is in original condition, sits in the middle of the block.
It’s fair to say the home requires some TLC, but its new owners will be able to move straight in and set about refreshing the property in manner thats suites there needs.
The home sits on a fully fenced acreage allotment, but again the internal fences require attention particularly if you have livestock, and the allotment does need some clearing, all of which can be done over time.
This is not just any home but a uniquely designed two-bedroom home.
The home features a distinctive design with the main bedroom upstairs with an en-suite and large balcony designed to catch the prevailing breezes and look out past the in-ground pool to the rear of the property.
Downstairs offers a large living area, kitchen second bedroom, bathroom and toilet.
Entertainment areas abound on two sides while privacy is assured with the palms and natives standing guard beside the in-ground pool.
There is a bore. which has worked although the current owner has not used it in some time due to Townsville’s good seasonal rain over the past few years and the available town water.
A variety of fruit trees populate the allotment and benefit from the sweet soil. The area was seemingly a river flat in ancient times, a hint of which is the seasonal creek outside the rear boundary.
No acreage property is complete without a large two-and-a-half bay shed.
Once again our owners are torn in leaving the property. The lifestyle it offers close to the city yet so far from the madding crowd is unique – as is the larger allotment.
What is unmatched is the quietness and tranquillity.
There is so much potential in this home and it represents an affordable entry into the Oak Valley market.
