Betsville is only 7 km from town with bitumen road, town water and space enough to have cattle and horses.
Location: Situated on the western side of Charters Towers, ‘Bettsville’ is located on Johnston’s Road just 7km and 7 minutes drive from the Post. The main road to ‘Bettsville’ is bitumen with the exception of 500m of all-weather gravel road along Johnston’s Road.
Area & Tenure: 16.19ha (40ac) Freehold Lot 1 MPH20319, County of Davenport, Parish of Charters Towers.
Local Authority is Charters Towers Regional Council
Services: Situated just 7km from the Charters Towers PO, the property accesses all the services of a regional town (population approx 9000 people). Schooling, both primary and secondary, are a feature of the Charters Towers community with the town boasting three Private Schools, the State High School and three State Primary Schools. Charters Towers is an historic city established in the gold rush of the 1880’s and still services the large Mining and Grazing industries. Townsville is a vibrant city of approx 200,000 people with diverse industry and opportunity for employment, business and higher education.
Homestead & Gardens: The 4-bedroom homestead was completed in November 2009. Immaculately maintained and presented, this 330sqm home features an open plan kitchen, dining and living area, large bedrooms with built in cupboards, large office, two bathrooms, split system air-conditioning in all bedrooms and the office, ceiling fans and is tiled throughout. Of the home floor area, the garage/workshop is approximately 100sqm.
The kitchen is modern and equipped with white goods including Fridge, Microwave Oven, Dishwasher and Gas/Electric hot plates and Oven and has a walk-in Pantry, high quality bench tops and ample cupboard space. Like the kitchen, the laundry is modern and includes Automatic Washing Machine and Dryer. All ‘white goods’, in both kitchen & laundry, are included in the sale.
An interesting feature of the homestead is the tasteful use of colourbond corrugated iron for the external walls and some internal walls. The living/kitchen/dining area has corrugated iron walls and ceiling whilst bedrooms, office and bathrooms have gyprock walls and ceiling. The home is well ventilated with several ‘whirly-bird’ vents in the roof, large windows and insulation to keep the home cool in summer.
Along the northern end of the homestead is extensive accommodation, accessed via five roller doors, for cars, workshop & gardening equipment and tools. For security and functionality, one of the roller doors is equipped with electric remote operated controls which can be operated from the car. Internal and external sensor lights make the carport after-hours friendly.
The large garden area features lawns, established trees and shrubs and numerous fruit trees and is connected to the bore water supply. NB. The property also has town water.
Water: Water for livestock use is currently supplied via the bore, located in the NE corner of the property.
Bore: Drilled in 2007, the bore is 21m (63ft) deep and is equipped with a twin impellor Davey/Honda pump, pumps from 18m (53ft) at a flow of 800gals/hr. Water is for livestock only.
Town water: The local council has provided town water to this, and several other properties, in the area. The current owners intend to have the property connected (at their expense) from the council outlet to the homestead and to the 30000gal water tank.
Tanks: 2500gal poly tank, 5000gal poly tank, 30000gal iron tank (poly liner)
House water: Both the 5000gal & 300000gal tanks are plumbed into the homestead and pressured via separate pressure pumps. The ‘town water’ supply will also be directly plumbed into the homestead & 30000gal tank.
Country: The property enjoys both loamy creek frontage to Scrubby Ck and black ‘Goldfields’ soils. The creek frontage is lightly timbered with Ironbark, Moreton Bay, Paperbark and pastured with Stylos, Buffel, Urachloa, Couch and native grasses while most of the goldfields country has been cleared.
Fencing & Cattle Yards & Stock waters: The property is fenced into 6 paddocks plus the laneway running along the northern and eastern boundary. Most fencing is 6-wire (barb & plain wire) and includes galvanised steel strainers, gateway assemblies and steel gates. The steel portable cattle yards include loading ramp, crush and branding cradle. Stock water is supplied via the bore and poly tank into round and rectangular cement troughs in every paddock.
