The property includes a thriving lychee orchard and exceptional infrastructure, making it a unique opportunity for those seeking a rural lifestyle close to town conveniences.

The main residence is thoughtfully designed for relaxed family living.

Outdoor living is a highlight of this property. A stunning pebblecrete saltwater pool with an integrated spa and waterfall feature creates a private resort-style retreat. The surrounding grounds are fully irrigated, ensuring easy maintenance and a lush, green environment year-round.

Additional accommodation is provided by a fully self-contained teenage retreat or granny flat, complete with its own bathroom. This space is perfect for extended family members or guests, offering privacy and independence.

For those requiring substantial shed space or workshop facilities, the property excels with multiple options: a high-clearance, two-bay drive-through engineered shed equipped with 3-phase power and 15-amp outlets; an additional single-bay shed with mezzanine storage; and a large machinery bay suitable for caravans, boats, or heavy equipment. All sheds are positioned on thick concrete slabs designed to support heavy machinery.

Sustainability and self-sufficiency are key features of this property. It includes two 5kW solar systems, a bore with a Grundfos submersible pump, and a 1 megalitre water licence. The fully irrigated 89-tree lychee orchard presents a fantastic side income opportunity. Pop-up irrigation systems are installed around the house to maintain the yard's greenery, and a generator setup is in place to power both the main home and the granny flat during outages.

The land itself is fully fenced, elevated, and dry, providing both usability and peace of mind. This property represents a rare chance to secure a well-equipped acreage lifestyle with income potential and room for growth, all within a short drive of Townsville's amenities.

Conveniently located within easy reach of reputable schools including St Anthony's Catholic College, Bohlevale State School, Bluewater State School, and Northern Beaches State High School, as well as major shopping precincts at Deeragun and North Shore, this property offers the best of both worlds: peaceful acreage living just minutes from essential services and conveniences.
