  At 30 Torsview Road is a classic ‘Queenslander’ home with expansive decking on two sides, overlooking an inground pool. Set on a peaceful 25 acres, it is just 5 kilometres from town. Boasting timeless colonial architecture, the spacious home is nestled within a generous 2.5 acre fully pet-fenced house yard. Torsview Road is a no-through road, offering a low volume of passing traffic, with a rare level of rural seclusion.
Around the house are large, attractive green lawns, numerous shady trees and scrubs plus a veggie patch. Everything is irrigated by a custom-designed watering system.
The original home is a solid, early twentieth century Queenslander, relocated from town in the ‘70s. Faithful additions and renovations at that time include spacious wide decks with east, north, and westerly aspects, providing numerous seasonal outdoor living options.
Inside, you will find a large main living area with lovely high 12-foot ceilings and stylish wooden French doors opening onto the large deck. The main living area provides access to three generous sized bedrooms. The master bedroom has a walk-in wardrobe with lots of shelving which leads into the ensuite complete with a toilet, basin, a full-sized bath, and separate shower. Bedrooms 2 and 3 have large built-in wardrobes with drawers, shelving and extra storage. The living area and all three bedrooms have freshly polished original hardwood floors.
Bedroom 4 is set apart within the standalone studio, with its own mini-kitchen facilities and wash basin, making this an ideal home office, guest quarters or a teenage retreat.
The main family bathroom offers a full-sized bath with shower and a full sink and mirror set within a spacious tiled and freshly painted room. The separate toilet is located on the other side of the laundry.
The office/ studio and all of the bedrooms are fully air conditioned with split systems and one a box air conditioner.
The large open-plan kitchen has solid timber cabinetry, a gas cook-top, two ovens and a dishwasher. With a walk-in pantry at one end and multiple built-in cupboards, there is plenty of storage space. The middle island bench doubles as a breakfast bar, and the adjacent dining area is situated between the kitchen and the living room. This entire area is freshly painted. Out on the main deck, that overlooks the pool is a commercial grade 600mm char grill cooker for authentic outdoor entertaining.

Sheds & Carports

30 Torsview Road has a large, 5 bay carport / workshop style shed about 20 metres from the house. At the front it has four undercover car spaces and one lockable caged bay for storage. On one end is a long drive-through bay which could fit caravans, boats, trailers and horse floats. Behind the carports is a large workshop area that has a separate lockable equipment / storage area, complete with work benches and plenty of electricity and lighting. The shed and workshop areas are fully concreted.

Solar Power– 30 Torsview Road has 18 roof mounted solar panels, feeding a 4.2kW inverter.

 Gardens

The property has a serene open layout with large open lawned areas and shade trees throughout. There are also some nice scrubs and palm trees around the house and pool. Aswell as this the owners have added a nice organic veggie patch in the top corner of the house yard.

Country

30 Torsview Road is located on good quality “goldfields” country. It has a mixture of Buffel grass, Urachloa, Couch and various legumes such a Verano and Townsville Seca Stylo. It is well shaded by various Iron Barks, Bloodwoods, Gum trees, Burdekin Plums, and paperbark trees. This country has a high stock carrying capacity for Charters Towers standards.

Water

30 Torsview Road has excellent quality treated and filtered town water, plus it has two bores and two dams.

The bore near the house is equipped with a near new Grundfos 240-volt mains submersible pump and the second bore is cased but unequipped. The water is good drinkable quality, and it has been analysed as suitable for irrigation. The flow rates are unknown for both bores, but the equipped bore has never had any issues for its current demand. As well as the bores there are two small dams fed by run-off and seasonal creeks. These dams are seasonally dependant and rely on the wet season rain to fill up, they hold water for most of the year. The dam at the house still has some water left in it now.

Yards/Stables

There are currently no livestock facilities on 30 Torsview Road. There is plenty of room for a set of cattle yards. However, there are three sets of horse stables near the house that are currently being used for chooks. These stables are made from quality steel RHS and roofing iron and have electricity and water connected to them.

 Fencing

30 Torsview Road is fenced by mostly three barbed wires / steel picket style construction except for around the house yard, which is fenced by steel rails and posts, with ring lock wire netting for pet proofing.

Cricket Field / Horse Arena

Just beyond the house yard is a cricket field, complete with a concrete pitch and a steel framed purpose built “clubhouse” which has electricity and water connected. With a viewing verandah, lockable sleeping space, shower and toilet. This facility is perfect for cricketers with Goldfield Ashes aspirations or a great practice field for the future Bradmans. This area is also big enough and wide enough to make a good horse arena.
