The property is located about 29 kilometres (18 miles) south‑east of Darwin CBD, within the Litchfield Municipality.
Howard Springs is primarily a rural locality that has been experiencing strong population growth and development in recent years.
Howard Park is roughly 0.9 km away, offering green space and walking tracks, and the BIG4 Howard Springs Holiday Park is about 1.9 km from the house.
European settlement began in 1864, and the locality was named after a spring discovered by Frederick Howard in 1865. It later became the first major water‑supply source for Darwin in 1939.
An accommodation facility for up to 3,500 temporary workers on the Ichthys LNG plant was constructed in 2012, and the site later served as a national quarantine centre during the COVID‑19 pandemic.
In 1939 Howard Springs became the first major water‑supply area for Darwin, delivering roughly 1.9 million imperial gallons per day before other sources like Manton Dam and Darwin River Dam were developed.
