The property is near two notable elevations: Takura Heights mountain range, about 2 km away, and Jacobsons Hill, approximately 2 km from the house. Both are part of the local landscape of the Fraser Coast Region.
Yes, a water reservoir operated by the Fraser Coast Regional Council sits atop Jacobsons Hill, and at the base of the hill is the Takura Environmental Centre, part of the Takura Environment Reserve. Both are accessed via Barnett Road, off Torbanlea Pialba Road.
The Takura Environmental Centre offers about three kilometres of walking trails that were constructed by the council after the reserve was acquired in 2020. The trails provide access to the surrounding natural scenery and wildlife.
The former Takura railway station, which was part of the now‑closed Hervey Bay railway line, lies within the neighbouring locality of Walligan to the south‑west. Although the station is dismantled, its location marks an element of the area’s transport history.
24 Sanctuary Hills Road is positioned roughly 0.9 km (about 1 km) from the centre of the Takura locality, placing it well within the community’s central area.
The reserve is home to up to 190 plant species and 57 bird species, including the vulnerable Black‑breasted Button‑quail and the colourful Noisy Pitta. These species contribute to the area's rich biodiversity and are often seen by visitors on the walking trails.
