13640 Bruce Highway, Gregory River, Qld 4800

If you've been after acreage without being too far from town, this one ticks a lot of boxes. 21 flat acres with direct access down to the Gregory River, just 10 minutes from Proserpine and its local schools, 20 minutes from Cannonvale and the major shopping precincts of the Whitsundays, and 25 minutes from Airlie Beach. It's hobby farming and country space, with everything the Whitsundays has to offer an easy drive away.

It's a genuine family property, with the river close enough for the kids to fish and swim after school and plenty of space to ride bikes, keep animals and spread out. Two fenced paddocks and a two stable block suit horse owners, with agistment offering income potential if you have room to spare. The established orchard has dozens of fruit trees, so summer means fresh fruit straight off the tree, and the water license lets you pump 20 litres per second from the river to keep everything green through the dry.

The home sits among established gardens and palms, giving it a private, tucked away feel. Upstairs has three bedrooms, a study, bathroom and a large living area opening onto a deck looking over the property. Downstairs adds a second living area, kitchenette and bathroom, giving everyone their own space when family and friends come to stay.

A 3 bay open sided machinery shed on a concrete slab takes care of the boat, tractor and equipment, with a double carport under the house and solar panels on the roof.

Access is via a long sealed driveway off the Bruce Highway, close to everything but set back from the road for privacy and quiet.
