This expansive rural lifestyle property located just 21 km from Charters Towers and approximately 114 km from Townsville offers an exceptional riverfront setting on the Burdekin River, spanning over 26 hectares (64 acres). Its private and spacious environment is ideal for those seeking a peaceful retreat with ample space to enjoy outdoor rural living.

The home itself reflects years of careful renovation and thoughtful updates, showcasing a rustic cottage character complemented by generous indoor living spaces that include two separate living areas. The large family room is notably air-conditioned and features a built-in bar, providing an inviting space for entertaining. This living area seamlessly extends onto an expansive timber deck built around a mature tree, creating a distinctive outdoor entertaining area complete with BBQ facilities and an undercover bar, all overlooking rural vistas and the river.

The functional country-style kitchen is well-equipped for everyday living with essentials including an electric stove, wall oven, pantry, and microwave cupboard. The home accommodates three air-conditioned bedrooms, two of which have built-in wardrobes, alongside two well-appointed bathrooms featuring walk-in showers and ample storage with linen cupboards. Additional practical features include an office nook within the hallway, generous storage options, and a laundry with built-in cupboards and dryer provision.

Outbuildings and infrastructure support a range of rural activities, including a large six-bay steel and iron shed with power and concrete flooring. A three-vehicle carport adjoins this shed, complemented by a masonry storage shed and two garden sheds. For livestock, the property offers steel cattle yards with loading ramp, head bail, and trough, as well as sheltered horse stables with tack area, day yard, and trough. Moreover, remnants of past agricultural pursuits include timber trestles on which table grapes were cultivated.

The property's water resources are substantial, with an electric pump drawing water directly from the Burdekin River into a tank at the house, equipped with a pressure system. Additionally, a seasonal dam lies between the house and the river. The soil composition is varied yet fertile, including river loams, mineral-rich goldfield soils, and decomposing granite, supporting a diverse range of native vegetation and pastures. The mostly cleared landscape features native trees such as large gums, Blackbutt, paperbark, Moreton Bay ash, Burdekin Plum, and Ironbark, with pasture grasses suitable for grazing.

This well-established property presents an excellent opportunity for buyers interested in rural investment or lifestyle with farming amenities, recreational fishing right from the doorstep, and a tranquil riverfront setting in Queensland.
