8 Jeffries Street, The Range QLD 4700

Solid brick house | 1012m² block | The Range blue-chip | high-demand location | rare land size This property’s primary buying case rests on its unusually generous block within a tightly held suburb where land of this size is scarce. The solid brick construction provides a durable, low-maintenance shell, while the location near Rockhampton Grammar School, hospitals, and the CBD offers immediate livability and strong rental demand. The configuration suits a first-home buyer seeking a foothold in a prime area, or an investor targeting a 4% rental yield with capital growth supported by the suburb’s 12.8% appreciation. The block’s size creates optionality for future extension or outdoor entertaining, which is a competitive edge over smaller newer homes. The main risk is the short resale interval—purchased 15 months ago at $360,000—which may indicate a quick flip or cosmetic update, so structural and compliance checks are essential. This could mean limited renovation depth, costing the buyer potential hidden repairs. The opportunity lies in leveraging the land value, as the price guide at $519/m² is reasonable for The Range. Hold for medium-term capital gain or add value through a modest extension; this property is best used as a long-term hold in a proven growth corridor.
