5 Saint Jude Court, Rangewood QLD 4817

Acreage near city | pool and bore | bushfire overlay | family-ready layout This property occupies a rare position in Rangewood: nearly an acre of usable land with no rear neighbours, a magnesium pool, and bore irrigation. For a family seeking acreage living within striking distance of Townsville, the combination of a substantial 293-square-metre home, solar, and drive-through garage creates a self-contained lifestyle package that is hard to replicate in this price tier. The open-plan layout with direct pool access from the master suite is not just comfortable—it positions the house well for both owner-occupier enjoyment and future rental demand in a suburb where large-lot offerings are consistently absorbed. The bushfire overlay is the primary risk, and it carries real cost: expect higher insurance premiums, possible vegetation management obligations, and constraints on future extensions or outbuildings. A buyer should commission a bushfire assessment before exchange and confirm whether the current home meets contemporary BAL standards. On the upside, no flood or heritage overlays simplify due diligence, and NBN Fibre to the Premises supports remote work—a meaningful edge for acreage buyers. Hold this property as a long-term family home or a lifestyle rental; its scarcity in the local market should underpin value retention even with the overlay.
