An acreage property with a shed bigger than most new house blocks has hit the market in Townsville.
And there is even a modern family home on the block.
Selling agent Rob Levy, of Cutting Edge Property, said the huge shed at 6 Walleroo Court, Rangewood, was the largest he had ever had on his books.
“This is by far the biggest, manliest shed I’ve ever seen in my entire career,” he said.
“It has 420 sqm under roof and is the size of a new block out in Elliott Springs.”
Mr Levy said within five days of being listed, the property had attracted plenty of local interest and buyers were flying from halfway across the country to check it out.
“Online we’ve had something like 400 comments,” he said.
“There’s a whole bunch of blokes in Townsville that are tagging their mates who love a good shed.
“But the genuine interest is mainly from interstate.
“We’ve got a number of buyers scheduling flights to come view the property.”
Mr Levy said the current owner was a truck driver who designed the “monster shed” so he could roll his Mack truck with trailer through an automatic roller door and into the shed without having to get out or unlink.
“The property is five minutes from the Bruce Highway with direct access from West Rd,” he said.
“You can turn right off Hervey Range Road and in less than 30 seconds you’re inside your shed.
“Being the first house in the development, if you do have a truck, you won’t disturb your neighbours.”
The shed has five roller doors, including an automatic one that is 4.2m high and 5.1m wide.
The floor is 200mm thick 32mpa concrete that can handle heavy equipment or a hoist and there is three-phase power, a sub board, LED lighting, an inspection pit, plenty of workshop space and a mezzanine floor for storage.
There is even a concrete wash bay with drain behind the shed.
The 5,379 sqm block has established lawns and gardens, a bore and a modern Jazz Homes house with four bedrooms, two bathrooms, multiple living spaces and a double lock up garage.
The property is listed for sale for $1.29 million.
