About this property

Set on five acres, this four-bedroom solid block home has all the aspects of a tropical family home with outdoor living being the benchmark. The upstairs open plan entertaining area with a nautical themed low maintenance stainless steel balustrade and marine carpet overlooks the mini oval where many a day has been spent practicing footy training or with family and friends playing a Boxing Day Test. Varnished timber decks highlight the front and rear verandas whilst the three port car port is concreted and has a handy storage shed under the stairs. From the open plan Chefs kitchen and slate tiled dining room you head outside to the rock paved outdoor dining area, large enough to be furnished with a large family dining table and servery. The barbecue hut is just nearby and overlooks the in-ground saltwater swimming pool. But if cooking on an open fire is more to your liking, how about trying your hand at cooking a brisket over the open fire pit? This property is serviced on town water; no tanks or bores to maintain. Irrigated tropical gardens wrap around this beautiful family home as well as the green belt of lawn designed to provide a cool environment. That said, this home is fully airconditioned throughout. All four bedrooms are large enough for multiple beds, bunks and homework desks. Each has internet ports and multiple power points. The ensuite bathroom off the main bedroom is tiled in terra cotta with a modern step in shower. It's simple yet functional and offers a personal space for relaxation. The main bathroom conveniently adjoins another of the bedrooms. Cooling slate tiles throughout run into the polished concrete Terrazzo family room. The Chefs kitchen has been designed with hygiene being of paramount importance and is easily cleaned and maintained. The no maintenance stainless steel benches and sink are tastefully backed by an easy to clean glass splash back. This kitchen is well appointed with a 5-burner gas cooktop and electric fan forced oven finished in stainless steel, as is the two-drawer dishwasher. The pantry, drawers and accompanying cupboards including the kitchen island are finished in an easy to clean crisp white two pack finish. The kitchen island bench top (and matching windowsill) is made from African Mahogany salvaged from one of the many Darwin Cyclones, now sealed in Marine grade varnish. The floor is tastefully tiled in natural terra cotta tiles enhancing the appeal of the timber topped kitchen island. The outdoor laundry has ample room for extra fridges and freezers for stocking up over the wet season, Christmas or when friends are due. The large shed and workshop have ample area inside and out for parking boats, bikes or vehicles. The functional office with laundry, shower and WC can double as a granny flat when needed. Not far from here is the rustic beer garden that could have come straight from an outback cattle station somewhere. The teenagers retreat or cubby house for the little ones stands alone just beyond. This 5-acre block of Pine Forest is a real bird sanctuary and is nestled in approximately 320 acres of the Softwood Plantation planted back in the mid-seventies. Hence, during tropical cyclones, the forest offers a great buffer zone to this and other homes within the Forest. That said, 80 percent of this family home is solid core filled presenting you with a true cyclone shelter that will not be compromised in the fiercest of storms. Set on top of the hill, this is the highest property within the Forest and as such, there is no history of flood nor bushfire in the past 35 years. It is low to no maintenance. Spear grass and other invasive grasses struggle to grow under the Pines. No hot dusty weekends spent slashing here. Conveniently positioned less than one kilometre from the Stuart highway and only two kms down from the Arnhem Highway, this property offers convenience and location far greater than some. Just four kms to the Humpty Doo shopping village which has a Doctors surgery, pharmacy, post office, Tavern, Wooly's, take away food shops and the numerous schools on offer in Humpty Doo, this property has convenience and lifestyle in spades. In fact, various school bus routes run on this street. Don't miss out. This is a unique opportunity to buy into a truly peaceful location. Open for inspections by appointment only.
