20 McIntyre Road Howard Springs, NT, 0835

A RARE RURAL LIFESTYLE WITH ROOM TO GROW

Set across approximately five acres in tightly held Howard Springs, this unique dual-residence property brings together established tropical living, extensive infrastructure, dual rental income and plenty of scope to make the property your own.

From the moment you arrive, there is a distinctly Territory feel. Established palms, bromeliads, ferns, bird of paradise, gingers and monsteras create cool, green spaces around the homes, complemented by an irrigation system, vegetable garden and chook shed already set up and ready to go.

The property has been thoughtfully divided into four separately fenced areas with internal and external gates, making it well suited to those wanting space for animals, a couple of horses or simply separation between the homes, gardens and paddocks. Both residences have their own driveway, power, shedding and secure fenced areas, providing an impressive level of independence and privacy.

The elevated main residence captures views across the tropical gardens and paddocks and is full of rural character, with polished timber floors, louvres and a supersized living area. The kitchen features a striking wall of windows that fills the space with natural light and looks out across the property.

There are three bedrooms upstairs, while underneath the home is a large covered entertaining area, enclosed laundry, and second bathroom. There is also scope to further utilise the space underneath the home in the future.
A substantial workshop with concrete pad and fans provides excellent space for a home business, projects, storage, boats, caravans or additional vehicles.

The second residence is a ground-level two-bedroom home with its own private setting, spacious in-ground swimming pool with shade sail and undercover parking. Inside is a central living and dining area with kitchenette, while the bathroom features a freestanding bathtub overlooking the gardens and rear paddock – a beautiful example of the property's relaxed rural character.

Additional infrastructure includes a second workshop/open-sided shed, water tanks, septic systems and a new bore producing approximately 3L/s. The bore, septic system and associated septic and tank pumps have also been recently replaced, while a six-station irrigation system helps service the tanks and established gardens.

Concrete driveway pads to both residences provide reliable wet-season access, with the acreage having a proven history of remaining non-flooding.
For investors or those looking for flexible living arrangements, the two independent residences are a rare find. The main three-bedroom home is currently leased at $750 per week until March 2027, while the two-bedroom residence is leased at $550 per week, providing a combined rental income of $1,300 per week with established tenants keen to stay on.

The setup also lends itself to extended family living, home-business opportunities or those wanting to live in one residence while generating income from the other.

With two vacant paddocks and approximately five acres of land, there may also be potential to explore future development or subdivision opportunities, subject to planning requirements and relevant approvals (STCA).

Despite its peaceful rural setting, everyday conveniences are only minutes away. Coolalinga Shopping Centre, supermarkets, medical services, cafés, farm and pool supplies, the post office and public transport connections are all within easy reach.
