Set on five beautifully maintained acres in the heart of Humpty Doo, 66 Doxas Road offers a rare blend of rural tranquillity, modern comfort, and impressive income potential. Lovingly crafted over several years by a talented carpenter, this property reflects the passion and skill of its owner, making it the ideal choice for those seeking a self-sufficient lifestyle without compromising on convenience, just 30 minutes from Darwin.
The main residence is a spacious four-bedroom, two-bathroom home designed to embrace the natural surroundings. It features an open-plan layout with plenty of natural light, capturing stunning views of the surrounding bushland, lush lawns, and the property's picturesque dam. The wide verandah seamlessly connects the indoor and outdoor living spaces, creating the perfect setting for family gatherings or quiet afternoons beside the pool. The dam itself holds water for up to nine months of the year, attracting a variety of native wildlife, including wallabies and birds, and doubling as an adventurous moto-cross track during the driest monthsan exciting feature for those with a taste for outdoor fun.
Practicality and craftsmanship are evident throughout the property. A large four-car carport provides ample parking, while the adjoining lock-up garage offers space for two cars or a couple of boats. It also features a loft space and a 1-ton overhead gantry crane, perfect for moving heavy items into the loft, or for more practical uses like lifting a big esky full of freshly caught barra out of the boat or loading a case of cold beer into itwhichever comes first.
Energy efficiency has been a key consideration, with a 6.490kW PV solar system installed in July 2019, consisting of 22 x 295W Canadian Solar Panels paired with a 5kW Fronius Inverter. This powerful system provides ample electricity to run the property while significantly reducing energy costs. Water security is also well managed, with a reliable bore (RN028837) drilled to a depth of 36 metres in 1993. The current pump is rated to deliver one litre per second, though the bore is capable of supporting a higher volume pump if desired. This bore fills a 25,000-litre main water tank daily, feeding a fully automated irrigation system that keeps the lawns and gardens thriving year-round.
Set well away from the main home is a recently completed, fully self-contained two-bedroom villa, perfect for guests, extended family, or as a high-yielding rental property. The villa features polished concrete benches, handcrafted pallet timber cabinetry, and an outdoor bath for two, blending industrial charm with rustic warmth. It has its own 10,000-litre water tank, separate power supply, and undercover parking, making it truly self-sufficient. The villa could easily generate around $600 per week in rental income, making it a valuable addition for those seeking supplementary income.
For those with a passion for animals or a desire for a home-based business, the property also includes established dog kennels. These can generate approximately $70 per night per kennel, adding another potential revenue stream. Combined, the villa and kennels have the potential to produce up to $70,000 per year in additional income, offering a fantastic opportunity for those looking to offset their mortgage or simply enjoy a profitable rural lifestyle.
The property is secured with 1.8-metre-high chain-link fencing, a solar-powered front gate, and well-established landscaping, providing peace of mind and privacy. With a little creativity and vision, this acreage offers numerous possibilities, whether you dream of running a small-scale agri-business, hosting tourists, or simply enjoying the peace and space of rural living.
Now complete, this property is ready for its next chapter. For the current owners, the journey continues as they set off to explore Australia with their young family, having crafted a legacy that is now ready to pass on to someone new. 66 Doxas Road is more than just a propertyit's a lifestyle, a business, and a home, all in one.
