Last Listing description (June 2026)

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

The property also includes a well-established palm and garden nursery with a strong local reputation. With no competing palm nurseries currently operating in the wider Townsville region, this presents a rare opportunity with excellent potential. The nursery features wholesale supplier connections and approximately 200 palm varieties ready for potting and resale.

The solid low-set masonry home sits on a stable gravel base with no history of movement. It offers four bedrooms, one well-kept bathroom, two toilets, and split-system air-conditioning to the living areas and three bedrooms. Tiled flooring, built-in wardrobes, tinted windows with security screens, and front and rear tiled patios add to everyday comfort, while wheelchair ramps at both entries provide easy access.

The kitchen is practical with ample storage. Vehicle accommodation includes a lock-up carport, attached open carport, and a large caravan, truck or boat shelter. Energy-efficient features include 19 solar panels, ceiling insulation, a high-capacity roof extractor fan, and a generator plug-in point. All extensions are fully certified.

Designed for low-maintenance living, only around 55m of lawn requires mowing, with the remainder landscaped into private walk-through palm gardens. A quality rover mower is included.

Property improvements include a 12m pool spa with shade cover and solar-ready piping, two large shade houses with overhead sprinklers, a covered potting area (also suitable as a double carport), a powered 6m x 6m shed with water and concrete benches, and a new 3m x 3m garden shed. There are also two concrete dog kennels, concrete pathways to the rear, excellent drainage, and rich soil with no clay.

The grounds feature an outdoor seating area within the palm gardens, eight mango trees, and a variety of established fruit trees. A painted underground services map simplifies maintenance. The property previously won First Prize in the Rural Garden Competition, reflecting the level of care throughout.

There is ample space at the rear to add a granny flat with existing power and water available, subject to council approval.

Rupertswood offers a strong community atmosphere with local amenities including a service station and general store, childcare, Rural Fire Service, community hall, tennis court, fishing club, horse club, rodeo grounds, and pistol and rifle clubs. Hervey Range tea rooms are nearby, along with a transfer station approximately 6km away and two landscaping suppliers.

With a favourable climate, reliable rainfall and an established business component, this is a rare opportunity to secure a lifestyle property with income potential in a tightly held rural setting.
