Herveys Range – It’s arguably Townsville’s best kept secret and yet more and more families are discovering Townsville’s tablelands. There is no neater presented property on the range than 15 Moody’s Road.

The Owners are leaving to join family on the Atherton Tablelands and are torn with the choice to move – and you can see why.

Located just of Hervey’s Range Road, with a reserve between the allotment on the inland highway, which was formally to Cobb and Co route to Bowen and the goldfields, the block has a narrow street frontage which gives it privacy and seclusion.

The two bedroom home was lovingly planned and adored by the owners who built the home within the past five years.

With two large bedrooms, a modern kitchen and bathroom and large open living and dining room, the home overlooks the beautiful 6 acre established allotment.

Behind the home you will find a delightful, relaxed entertaining area which captures the ambience of the area. The large 6 x 12 metre shed has an open plan entertaining area on one half, and a secure sealed section on the other half. A separate open garage is provided for car accommodation. There is also an additional amenities block.

The allotment is mostly cleared, but a nature strip has been retained in the middle which helps the property retain its rural heritage and attract the local birdlife. High quality bore water, from a spear located in a seasonal creek at the back of the property pumps to two large tanks.

With a network of friends who all pitch in help each other, it’s the ties the owners have to local community, which is reflected in the inviting presence the home has.

I am the first to admit growing up in Townsville, that I looked up at the range for many years and barely gave it passing thought. But when you travel up and down the winding road, which is only a 20 minute drive from Kirwan, then look out back towards Mount Stuart Castle Hill and greater Townsville you can’t help but sense how special this area is.

And standing in the light rain, with the cool breezes blowing between the trees, the fresh air and open spaces, you would be forgiven for thinking you were in a different world.

Hervey’s Range is mystical place, so removed from the normal Townsville landscape, and this is your chance to grab a slice of heaven for yourself.

I know when you spend time walking around this home you will connect with it like I did.
