The home with it all

Award-winning property offers host of features

THIS award-winning acreage property could be the coolest listing in Queensland right now, and it comes with a purpose-built motocross track, gym, a huge barn shed with a billiards room, a pool with a water slide, an entertaining deck with a fire-pit and some seriously cool interiors.

Located at 23 Kens Court in Alice River, the five-acre property is on the outskirts of Townsville, and offers the ultimate lifestyle for those who want to revel in luxury after a day of getting muddy.

Ray White agent Julie Mahoney, who will auction the impressive home at 6pm today said the property was the best acreage listing she had ever seen.

“Where do I even start?” she said. “There is a footy field with goalposts and buffalo grass, the motocross track, a hydro water slide and heated pool, a custom fire-pit, there is even a dishwasher built into the barbecue area and it cost them $75,000 just to upgrade the Cbus system,” Ms Mahoney said.

“It even has a dedicated music room.”

The immaculate five-bedroom house boasts an open plan living, dining and kitchen floorplan that flows out on to a showstopping, covered entertaining space overlooking the pool, water slide, fire-pit and manicured block.

No money has been spared on the designer kitchen, which features two cleverly disguised dishwashers, a huge butler’s pantry, modern appliances, electric closing draws, stone bench tops, double sinks and an impressive six-seater breakfast bar.

In the master retreat, there is a his-and-hers walk-through wardrobe, a dual shower head ensuite, a double vanity finished with stone bench tops, split-cycle airconditioning and ceiling fans and a private patio.

The other four bedrooms are kingsize and feature walk-in robes, ensuites, airconditioning, ceiling fans and LED downlighting.

But it is outside where thrillseekers will really get hot under the collar. Firstly, there is the purpose-built entertaining deck that surrounds the stunning fire pit and overlooks the pool and has views of Frederick Peak.

At the back of the property is where you will find the built-in motocross track – one of the best we have seen in some time.

Other features include car accommodation for up to nine vehicles, a huge three-bay barn shed with a billiards room and attached carports, so plenty of room for all those toys. Unsurprisingly, the property is getting plenty of interest from local and interstate buyers.

Ms Mahoney said it was the ultimate party house, describing it as the “Disneyland of acreage properties”.

She said there were already a number of serious registered bidders, including a man from Sydney who “wants to escape the rat race”, a large family, retirees moving off large rural properties, and plenty of inquiries from “all over the place”.

“I know I have never seen acreage living like it,” she said. “You really would not have to go anywhere but the shops, and even then you are close enough to town to have it delivered.”

The property will go under the hammer in an online auction at 6pm on Monday.
