Urangan QLD 4655

Incredibly well located in Urangan. Originally a fishing village, Urangan is now part of Hervey Bay, a city of 60,000. Five minutes by car to the beach and shopping-centres. Primary and high schools are an easy flat five-minute bike-ride. Ideal family home with a full acre of land and a swimming pool. The house is a real beauty with a floor area of 200 square metres, plus 160 square metres of veranda. Beautiful. It has a large enclosed gated backyard, separate from the pool-area.Built in 1983, it's an oldie, and a goodie. It's a party house with a walk-in pantry. They don't make these solid houses any more. The replacement price for this house could be twice todays price.The massive master bedroom opens right onto the swimming pool. All bedrooms have built-in wardrobes.The open-plan living area spans the entire length of the building. Freshly professionally painted with a neutral colour throughout, it is perfect to repaint, but looks great now. No septic tank. A brand new "state of the art" sewage treatment plant has been installed, it recycles all the water from the house and then waters the yard automatically. This place is perfect for an adventurous family. It has a great variety of birdlife and its own billabong. A 6X10 metre shed with a cement floor, shower and toilet in it. Photos of the shed and billabong coming soon. This place does not need massive improvements. It could be done, and the outcome could be truly amazing, but for a working family, she is ready to go.

If you want to work, there is plenty of it in Hervey Bay. It takes an effort to get to Hervey Bay but once you arrive - it's all here! Over the past twenty years, Hervey Bay has developed into a modern cultured community with real strength and character, perfect for young families. This region has: - The Great Sandy Strait - A mecca for fishers, with serious sports-fishing over hundreds of square kilometres of enclosed salt water. Fishing clubs and boats are big here. - World Heritage Fraser Island - An astounding and surprising place, attracting many locals regularly, as well as travellers from all over the planet. An average day sees around 1500 visitors going to Fraser Island. - The Hervey Bay - A vast area of enclosed and open waters ideal for cruise-sailing, dragon-boat racing and any number of aquatic sports including skiff-racing, kite-surfing, scuba-diving, fishing and sailboarding, and of course the big one, whale watching.

One is "Santini Pizza e Cucina". Possibly the finest Italian restaurant you will ever know. It is almost worth moving to Hervey Bay just to be able to eat there. - Hervey Bay also supports well-established street, sports and custom car culture. Driving about the town one never knows what sort of "fine metal" (old or new) will be rolling by. ** The above is just a short list of local attributes.
