Properties in South Mackay are tightly held for good reason – it’s hard to find a better lifestyle location this close to the CBD, airport and major employment hubs. Living here will allow you to spend less time travelling to and from work (including FIFO workers) and more time doing the things you love, mostly within short strolling distance from home.
First homebuyers, house flippers and investors, this well-maintained and presented original late 80’s home is the opportunity you’ve been waiting for! Astute buyers will recognise the enormous potential here, especially given the outstanding and highly sought-after location and the size (792sqm) and accessibility of the block.
Imagine the luxury of being able to leave the car at home and take the short stroll to your local (South Leagues Club) for a meal, a catch-up with friends or a quiet drink any time you choose. In fact you’ll be so close to everything, from parks, breathtakingly beautiful Far Beach, sports fields, shops, schools and more that you’ll hardly feel the need to take the car out!
Why we LOVE this home…
- Quiet street in a wonderful walkable location! This single level late 80’s built home occupies a fully fenced, level parcel of land in a lovely quiet street within easy walking distance from so many attractions and conveniences, offering the ultimate active, healthy and social lifestyle
- Large powered shed/man cave with separate side access – Standing at a whopping 4.2 x 11m with massive lean-to (4 x 9.5m) and 2.3m door clearance this is one serious shed to house whatever ‘toys’ you choose and/or to use as a man cave, gym or workshop (ideal for the DIY renovator). The shed is accessible via a separate concreted driveway
- Low maintenance living – Tiled floors flow throughout the home and the front and rear yard are level and easy care
- Enormous potential to add value – The 3-bedroom (all with b/ins), 1 bathroom home has been well maintained and is ready to move in and enjoy or rent out (previously rented at $385 pw) as is. The current owners have recently installed a new hot water system, new vanity to the bathroom, a few new light fittings, and ceiling fans. But there is plenty of space to extend & scope to modernise. Why not take advantage of the government’s Building Bonus grant of $25,000 or for the first home buyers you could also be eligible for $15,000 Queensland Government’s First Homeowners’ Grant
- Spacious living areas + large covered outdoor entertainment area – This home has a lovely welcoming ambience throughout and features a Spacious lounge room & large enclosed garage used for multiple purposes - an open plan kitchen and meals area opening onto the alfresco area and a large lounge room

At low tide, the expansive sand flat is exposed giving walkers kilometres of beach to meander. The beach provides expansive views, from Hay Point to the south and toward Flat and Round Top Islands. Equally beautiful, the tranquil Illawong Park offers a perfect place for a BBQ and plenty of trees that provide great shade for a picnic
