There’s a rich history to this home – it has a fine history and a fantastic future.

Winner upon winner – this property was the home of Townsvilles and arguably Australia’s leading horseman for many years.

Built over 40 years ago, the 9 hectare (approx just over 22 acres) block of land was hand picked by the owners because it sat on the high point of Haynes Road, and this judgment stood the test of many of Townsville’s biggest wet season’s.

With forethought they sunk an all season bore, planned the drainage to stop inundation from the neighbours, built an all weather trotting track, equine swimming pool, dam, spelling paddocks and and boxes with large day yards (12).

To compliment the training facilities, a house was relocated and fully renovated and over the years and served the family of 5 well.

Perfectly located on the front of the block, the three bedroom home (with potential for a fourth) catches the prevailing sea breezes which flow from the Bushland Beach area inland.

The home, which is beautifully presented by the current owners has a modern kitchen and bathroom, carpet to main bedroom and tiles throughout.

The high set home has ample storage room underneath which includes car accommodation; not to mention a second bathroom which is easily maintained and perfect for after a hard days work in the paddock – no trudging that dirt through your home!

And the future ….. well the new owner has the opportunity to acquire a 23 acre property, on quiet dead end road, in the Northern Beaches development corridor. Such large parcels are so hard to find, particularly when you are 5 minutes drive from Northshore Shopping Centre,an Olympic sized pool, private and public schools, the new Bunnings, Bushland Beach and so much more.

With over 1000 allotments sold in Northshore (Burdell) and an endless line of major commercial entities are lining up to take a spot in the development, and this can assure you of how unique a property this size is.

And in time the property may lend itself to sub-division, however we feel the new owner will value it what is now.

In the past, present or future, this outstanding rural residential has and will hold it’s place as prime real estate in the Jensen area – the question is will you be part of that future!
