Set on a beautifully maintained 1-acre allotment in sought-after Rupertswood, this unique lifestyle property offers peaceful rural living just 15km from major shopping, schools, cinemas, restaurants and Townsville's full suite of amenities. With town water, weekly bin collection, school bus services and a welcoming community, the area provides the perfect balance of rural space and suburban convenience.

More than just a home, this property also includes a long-standing palm and garden nursery with an excellent local reputation. With no other palm nurseries currently operating in the wider Townsville region, the business component offers strong ongoing potential, wholesale supplier connections and approximately 200 varieties of palms ready for potting and resale.

The Home

The solid low-set masonry residence sits on a stable gravel base with no cracking or movement, offering four bedrooms, a well-kept bathroom, two toilets and split-system air-conditioning throughout the living spaces and three bedrooms. The home features tiled flooring, tinted windows with security screens, built-in wardrobes, and front and rear tiled patios for year-round outdoor enjoyment. Wheelchair ramps at both the front and rear entries provide easy access in and out of the home.

A functional kitchen offers generous storage, while a lock-up carport, attached open carport and a large caravan/truck/boat shelter provide ample storage for vehicles. The home is energy-efficient with 19 solar panels, a high-capacity roof extractor fan, ceiling insulation, and fully certified extensions and inspections. A dedicated generator plug-in point provides backup power during outages for added peace of mind.

The Land & Outdoor Infrastructure

The property is fully fenced with dual front gates and a full concrete driveway leading to the home. Designed for low-maintenance living, only around 55m of lawn requires mowing, while the remainder is beautifully landscaped with walk-through palm gardens for privacy. A quality rover mower (approx. $3,000) is included for ongoing upkeep.

Key improvements include:

* 12m pool spa with shade cover and solar-ready piping
