The property sits on a 21,500 m² parcel of land. This provides ample space for outdoor activities or future development.
It is located about 40 km south of Darwin, making the city easily reachable for work or leisure trips.
The area is close to the iconic Humpty Doo Hotel, the Big Boxing Crocodile on the Arnhem Highway, Graeme Gow’s Reptile World, Fogg Dam Conservation Reserve, the Window on the Wetlands Visitor Centre, and the heritage-listed Wishart Siding. All are within a short drive from the property.
Humpty Doo has a tropical savannah climate with a wet season (November–April) that brings heat, humidity and thunderstorms, and a dry season (May–October) that offers sunny days and cooler nights.
Agriculture and tourism are the primary local industries. Many residents also commute to Darwin or Palmerston for work, treating Humpty Doo as a dormitory town.
Fogg Dam Conservation Reserve, a few kilometres east, is a wetland sanctuary with walking trails and bird‑watching opportunities, including seasonal visits by jabirus and other native waterbirds.
The land is traditionally owned by the Djerimanga (Wulna) people. The town’s name has quirky origins, and the region was once the site of early rice and other tropical crop experiments, including the ill‑fated 1950s Humpty Doo Rice Project.
