Just 60km South of Townsville is this picturesque home on 3.5 hectares set in a quiet area with no near neighbours. The beautifully presented 4 bedroom home is surrounded by lush lawns, bush land and cane fields. Well established trees add privacy to a low maintenance garden completely watered by a pop-up and under tree irrigation system.
The timber home was built for the owners 12 years ago, the external walls are CSR mill wood with gyprock internal walls. Polished hardwood floors are throughout the open plan dining, kitchen and lounge area and running up the hallway which leads to the four bedrooms. The kitchen is a U-shaped design so every thing is close at hand; there are two small appliance cupboards with roll down shutters and a walk-in pantry with a Smeg electric stove adding the finishing touch. All of the bedrooms look out over the gardens and have carpet and air-conditioning while three also have built-ins and ceiling fans.
The real life of the home leads from the timber deck onto the 8.5m above ground chlorinated pool. A great place for the family to share or to enjoy the afternoon sea breeze.
A steel carport with extra bedroom, office or both adds extra room. The 6m x 6m room is air conditioned and has the phone connected. Adjoining are also 2 lockable and 2 open carports.
The water supply comes from a 5 inch bore that is 90 ft deep with 60ft of water and is equipped with a 2 inch single phase submersible pump delivering 1800ga/hr. It has been tested and is not only safe to drink but would match the taste of rain water. A 2 inch ring main ensures continuous good pressure throughout the house and garden at all times. A back up power supply is also available in the case of power outages by a 7KVA generator set up to be plugged into the house mains.
As well as all this there is 6 acres of first ratoon 228 variety sugar cane which has been sold for plant cane to other farmers or could be sold to the sugar mill. About 250t is usually harvested each year.
