Some properties are about square metres and bedrooms. This one is about weekends, fishing trips and having your own little piece of the coast to escape to.
Welcome to 37 Whiting Court, Cungulla - one of those special little coastal communities where life moves at a slower pace, neighbours still know each other and weekends are measured by the tides rather than the clock.
Set on an impressive 1,071 sq.m allotment - one of the larger blocks you will find in Cungulla - this neat and very well-maintained home offers an affordable opportunity to secure your own coastal getaway approximately 45 km from Townsville. Close enough to head down after work on Friday, yet far enough away to feel like you've properly escaped.
The home itself is compact, comfortable and extremely presentable, with a flexible two-to-three-bedroom floor plan that can easily adapt depending on whether it's just the two of you escaping for the weekend or family and friends are coming along for the fishing trip. Best of all, the home offers an optional furniture package (to be negotiated outside of the dwelling purchase) to include everything that you see, making this about as close to a genuine "ready to stay-and-play" proposition as you could hope for. Bring the fishing rods, throw a few things in the fridge and start enjoying Cungulla from day one.
Outside is where the property really earns its credentials as either your next move in ready home, or a coastal weekender. The huge 1,071 sq.m block provides plenty of room for boats, trailers and all the gear that naturally comes with weekends by the water, while the double-bay shed with additional lock-up storage at the rear gives you somewhere secure to leave everything between visits.
And in Cungulla, location is really about how quickly you can get from the front door to the water. The beach is approximately 230 metres away, so an early morning walk along the shoreline or an afternoon wander down to check the tide can easily become part of the routine. The Cungulla Recreational Fishing and Social Club is only around 250 metres from home, providing a relaxed local meeting place and a real connection to the community.
For those who take their fishing a little more seriously, the Doughboy Boat Ramp is approximately 2.3 km from your front door, putting the boat in the water and the next fishing adventure within easy reach.
This isn't about polished resort living - and that's precisely the attraction. Cungulla is uncomplicated. It's rods in the boat, thongs at the door, afternoons outside, a cold drink at the end of the day and somewhere you can genuinely switch off from work and city life. And when Sunday afternoon rolls around, lock the shed, lock the house and head back to Townsville knowing your own coastal escape will be waiting for you next weekend.
