37 Grant Rd, Larapinta NT 0875, Australia
.. And the Backyard Goes all the Way to Broome!
Tucked away at the very end of Grant Road opposite a children’s playground and adjoining bush land with no rear neighbour and a ‘back yard that goes all the way to Broome’ – is this custom-designed and purpose-built home by a local craftsman, who along with his late wife, fell in love with the location and the promise of inspiration and serenity that accompanies it.

– Fabulous home for hobbyist/artist
– Expansive rear back verandah

The floor plan provides excellent separation across two levels, and could suit dual occupancy for the extended family, as well as other options. In total, it comprises three bedrooms, two bathrooms, kitchen with adjacent dining, formal lounge, sunroom with stunning views to the east and west, rumpus room, and full length verandah at rear providing effective protection from the western sun. There is also a separate air-conditioned workshop/garage to securely park your beloved classic car or luxury vehicle in comfort all-year around.
Split system air-conditioning, ceiling fans, solar hot water system, masses of storage throughout, sink in master bedroom, and separate entries to both levels – are all existing features, and the home has been solidly built with good bones, it just needs some general updating and personal touches to truly make it shine again. There is no fear of overcapitalising in this coveted location, so your only limitations are your imagination and budget.
On an 824m2 block with natural gardens all around – the local kangaroos and wallabies are frequent visitors popping in to say g’day and have a drink of water, and there is a pathway up to an idyllic hilltop spot with a seat where you can admire the outlook, enjoy some quiet contemplation, or read a book. If you are the creative type (like the original owner) you are going to find so much solace and inspiration from the surrounding landscape.
Despite the peace and privacy, access to major amenities such as schools, hospitals, shops, sporting/leisure, and airport is within a 10-18 minute radius; and both Larapinta Primary School and Living Waters Lutheran School are within walking distance.
Poet Dorothea Mackellar in her famous poem ‘My Country’ spoke of her love for a sunburnt country, a land of sweeping plains; 37 Grant Road, Larapinta encapsulates this in its very essence, perfectly positioned on the desert’s edge…it reaches out to your emotions at a visceral level, it’s so much more than just a home.
