Howard Springs, amongst the conversation as the most sought after suburb in Greater Darwin in recent years. You get true rural space and privacy, with the shops, schools and services of Palmerston and Darwin within easy reach. Classic best of both worlds. As Darwins urban sprawl continues land in this suburb certainly underpins it’s value into the future.
At 25 Bastin a double gated entry with an electric gate opens to a driveway winding through mature trees to the homestead and enormous open faced shed. The shed offers vast parking and storage for vehicles, boats, caravans, machinery or a home business, and has its own bathroom.
The home is solid, practical and built for the Top End without being flashy. Verandahs wrap all four sides, and a central enclosed breezeway links the two wings for great cross flow ventilation. The master bedroom has built in robes and sits off a large tiled living and dining area and modern kitchen with pantry. Across the breezeway are two more bedrooms and the main bathroom with bathtub. A rear enclosed verandah houses the laundry and an outdoor kitchen and wash up area.
Outside is where this property gets very interesting boasting a remarkable established orchard of more than 500 fruiting trees and plants, including 300 irrigated bananas, 120 mangoes and a wide range of tropical varieties some of which are incredibly rare and sought after. The fruit is ideal as a rewarding hobby farm with obvious ability to generate an additional income stream.
