Rangewood QLD 4817 · about 20 km from the Townsville CBD
Rangewood is a bushland acreage suburb beneath the ranges on Townsville's western edge, about 20 km from the CBD in a straight line. Around 1,080 people lived here at the 2021 Census, on acreage blocks set among the trees.
The properties are acreage homes and lifestyle holdings with sheds and paddocks. Buyers choose Rangewood for privacy and space for animals, vehicles and workshops, and for the bushland setting, while shops and schools in Bohle Plains, Kirwan and Thuringowa Central are within a reasonable drive. Mount Margaret Park is the local green space, and Hervey Range Road is the main route in.
A car is essential. Because bushland acreage varies so much, buyers look at firebreaks, water tanks, sheds and access alongside the home itself. Rangewood's bushland carries bushfire risk in the dry season, and creeks can rise quickly in heavy rain, so checking the council's bushfire and flood maps for the address is essential.
