7 Christensens Road, Balberra, QLD, 4740, Australia

If you’re desperate to escape the urban hustle and bustle without sacrificing convenience, this charming, ultra-private family home is the one for you. Living on a sprawling 5 acres right by the beautiful Sandy Creek, you won’t believe how close you are to the Mackay CBD, Sarina, Paget and more, plus all the amenities and opportunities these locales have to offer. There’s nothing more serene than semi-rural living – wake up to the sound of birds chirping, step out into the fresh morning air and soak in the sunrise over your personal parcel of paradise before beginning another exciting day without ever needing to go beyond a 15-minute radius from home.

Driving along the flat, palm tree-lined driveway to this secluded oasis creates an instant feeling of joy for the change of scenery. Not only are the surroundings captivating to the eye, but the home itself is extremely reliable in quality, built to hold the lifetime of memories that you and your loved ones are bound to create here. The designer has taken full advantage of the space with a vast open plan living and dining zone, huge kitchen just adjacent, additional living space, 4 generous bedrooms and loads of windows throughout for great natural light, ventilation and outdoor views.

Speaking of outdoors, dining alfresco will be a breeze (pun intended!) with an expansive, covered entertaining area at your disposal. You’ll absolutely love having guests over to enjoy a BBQ, bonfire, some music, lawn games and maybe even a quick visit to the impressive 4-bay shed with loft where you’re storing the boat, caravan and other toys. Whether you’re raising children, wanting a home with room for guests and grandkids or simply chasing a more laid back lifestyle, this is an unbeatable home with potential to remain cherished within your family for generations to come.

Why we LOVE 7 Christensens Road…

- The outdoor lifestyle factor – Get a taste of living off the grid without abandoning the urban conveniences. This lush 5-acre property (2.08 ha) is totally flat & usable which opens up so many doors. Take a leaf out of the current owner’s book & let a couple of horses roam in the paddock out beyond the shed, or even keep a few cows. Install a pool, spa, granny flat or motorbike track with plenty of room to spare. The possibilities are endless! Even without any additional installations, there are loads of natural wonders to explore here, including your own private spot on the bank of Sandy Creek where you can teach the kids to fish & set crab pots

- Central kitchen – At the heart of the home you’ll find a family-sized kitchen, fully equipped with everything you may need. It features ample bench & storage space, a corner breakfast bar, large walk-in pantry, modern dishwasher & 2 ovens (so convenient for larger families or entertaining!). We also love its wide windows which provide a full view of the patio & garden. You could even install some cafe-style bifold windows here for a seamless connection to the patio for serving food/drinks!

- Bonus living space – Like the idea of settling in for movie night? The additional living room will make for the perfect spot. Positioned away from the common space for privacy, this carpeted space in neutral tones will accommodate a large lounge ensemble fit for the whole family or could even be transformed into a home office or games room

- 4 spacious bedrooms, master with ensuite – Warm & cosy yet super spacious, the home’s 4 bedrooms provide every member of the family with their own quiet spot to unwind after a long day. Each room features carpeted flooring, a ceiling fan & A/C for maximum comfort. The master suite is particularly special, of course, fit with a spacious walk-in robe plus light-filled ensuite with glass screen shower.
- Other features throughout this delightful home include full air-conditioning, 2 bonus utility spaces (1 with A/C), generous main bathroom with built-in tub & large glass screen shower, tiled flooring to main living & utility spaces for easy care, efficient rain/bore water system & more!
