If you are looking for an escape to the country where your kids have almost 5 acres to run around and play while listening to the kookaburras laughing in the gumtrees... then we have a magical property for you! Just past the Hervey Range tea rooms along a seasonal creek is a beautiful 4 bedroom family home which will be your family's nightly mountain retreat. From the open plan main living area, you get fantastic 180 degree views of the children's play equipment, gardens and scenic bush. The Hervey Range community is always cooler in the summer than Townsville and for those crisp winter nights, there is a stunning fireplace central to the living area. All four bedrooms are tiled for easy maintenance and feature large mirrored wardrobes with clever storage systems. The large bathroom has just been completely renovated and features tiles to the ceiling. There is parking for 2 cars in carports near the house and additional storage space in two other large sheds. If you would like to grow your own organic vegetables and fruit, there is ample water on this property provided by an excellent bore near the creek bed which has never run out of water. There is a large chicken coup suitable for 20 fowl and prepared gardens are ready for seasonal vegetables to be planted. There are a variety of fruit trees growing on the property including mangoes, bananas and loquats. The Hervey Range community is a small friendly neighbourhood where families get together for barbeques and children play in their neighbour's yards. It is located about 30km from the Willows shopping Centre at about 300m elevation. There is a community hall, fire brigade and the locality is governed by the Charters Towers council. Be quick! Houses in this fantastic location only come to market once or twice a year and if you miss out on this one, there may not be another one like it for a very long time. Private inspections are encouraged.
