50 De Havilland Drive, Araluen NT 0870

3 beds 2 baths on 804sqm | 338sqm building with pool | quiet Araluen cul-de-sac | Bradshaw Primary catchment This property offers a rare configuration advantage in Araluen: a 338-square-metre building on an 804-square-metre lot gives it a 42 percent site coverage, which is unusually high for the area and translates into genuinely spacious living zones, a large kitchen, and an in-ground pool that functions as a private retreat. The open fireplace and outdoor entertainment area add genuine lifestyle depth, and the priority enrolment at Bradshaw Primary School, 0.6 kilometres away, makes it a strong fit for families seeking a low-maintenance house with a school walk. The 4G mobile coverage and NBN Fibre to the Node are supporting conveniences but not the prime draw. The key risk is the 2008 purchase at $380,000, which suggests the current $600,000 list price has been driven by recent market movement rather than intrinsic scarcity; the nearby 55 De Havilland Drive sale at $565,000 for a 144-square-metre house sets a tighter ceiling. An opportunity exists in the pool and shed as differentiators in a street where 58 percent of properties are owner-occupied, reducing rental competition. Hold this property for its school catchment and low-maintenance layout, not for short-term capital growth.
