25 Bastin Road, Howard Springs NT 0835

Located in the highly sought-after suburb of Howard Springs, this substantial rural property offers a blend of true privacy and convenient access to the amenities of Darwin and Palmerston. The 2 hectare (approximately 5 acres) estate combines a solid, practical three-bedroom home designed specifically for the tropical Top End climate, with expansive outdoor and storage facilities, and an extraordinary established orchard.

Upon entering through the double gated electric gates, a driveway winds through mature trees, revealing the comfortable homestead and an enormous open-faced shed. This shed is a standout feature, well-suited for a range of uses from secure parking for multiple vehicles, boats, caravans, and machinery, through to the operation of a home business, complete with its own bathroom facilities. Additionally, an elevated carport provides secure coverage for larger machinery such as tractors.

The home itself is practical and robust rather than ostentatious, boasting verandahs wrapping all four sides to provide shade and outdoor living space, encouraging natural cross-flow ventilation via a central enclosed breezeway connecting two wings. The master bedroom includes built-in robes and is seamlessly integrated with a large tiled living and dining space adjacent to a modern kitchen with pantry. Two further bedrooms and a main bathroom with a bathtub lie across the breezeway, with a rear enclosed verandah dedicated to laundry and an outdoor kitchen with a wash-up area, enhancing the functional flow between indoor and outdoor living.

The orchard is the property's crowning glory, comprising over 500 mature fruiting trees and plants. Notably, there are 300 irrigated banana plants and 120 mango trees, alongside many other tropical varieties including mulberry, dragon fruit, passionfruit, soursop, durian, and various other rare and sought-after species. Supported by multiple rainwater tanks and a reliable bore with an extensive irrigation system, the orchard not only offers a rewarding hobby but also the potential for supplementary income.
