A Townsville house on 13 acres has hit the market, complete with its own professional motocross track.
That same track has been given a test-run by one of the world’s top MotoGP champions. Located at 28 Granitevale Road in Alice River, the sprawling property is being marketed as the “Australian dream with enough space for children to be children”.
And while the motocross track would be enough to get any red-blooded kids heart (and motor) racing, that is not the only fun feature that this property boasts.

Inside the four bedroom, AP Williams & Co designed house is an activity room and a large theatre room – perfect escapes for those stinking hot and muggy days that are on their way.
And the house has some awesome features as well.
The theatre room
But it is outside this property truly shines as the ultimate playground.
In addition to the motocross track is a large in-ground swimming pool, a huge deck, a large outdoor entertaining area complete with an outdoor kitchen and built-in gas barbecue, a dam and a gym (equipment included) inside a Colorbond shed with power and lighting.
With the heat dialling up, the pool will be a top spot to cool off.
The gym
As for the residence, it is 400sqm under roof and has four bedrooms, three bathrooms,
spacious open-plan living areas including 3.1m high ceilings in the main living area, a study and airconditioning.
The master bedroom has a walk-in wardrobe, a large ensuite with a spa, a double vanity and a double shower.
Swish!
How’s that for an ensuite?
One of the three bathrooms has a gas instantaneous unit to guarantee hot water, even when the power goes out.
The kitchen has an integrated fridge and dish drawer, V-Zug appliances, a large butler’s pantry with sink and room for a dishwasher.
Other outdoor features include a solar system, a bore with a new submersible pump, automated irrigation with pop-up sprinklers to over 50 per cent of the 13 acre property and two 30,000 litre water tanks.
The property is owned by Steve Hannah of Hannahbull Hydro Excavations and wife Sharni (nee Williams), the granddaughter of Alexander Park (AP) Williams, who founded AP Williams & Co in 1932.
Mrs Hannah, who designed the house, said Townsville-born world Moto-GP champion Jack Miller had taken a few spins around the track, as had her nephew, Kayden Downing, who is now racing in the US.
