Welcome to this week’s edition, where we explore a broad spectrum of the housing market. Over the page, we start with a selection of family-friendly homes from Forde to Chifey. Priced below $1.4 million, these represent what we now consider budget-friendly buying in today’s capital market. In stark contrast, our Cover Story on page 10 showcases a prestige ofering in Jerrabomberra. When you read more, you’ll understand why. I had to look twice at the astonishing 12-car garage! How many homes in Australia can claim that? Finally, if you’re approaching retirement, our New Homes feature explores why this southside community might be your perfect next move. Happy reading!
Lifestyle on every level
This home at 6 Bobby Street, Googong, shows that fun and function can go hand in hand. Who wouldn’t want to live in a house with a heated pool, an outdoor kitchen with TV, a fire pit and a dedicated games room?
The practical parts make sense, too. The first floor has a U-shaped layout that separates sleeping and living areas, all wrapped around a courtyard that floods the house with light. The fourth bedroom opens to the outside, adding flexibility to the floor plan.
The large butler’s pantry is effectively a second kitchen and connects to the laundry for fuss-free clean-up.
The home’s elevated position offers uninterrupted mountain views, and you’re less than 10 minutes from the outdoor adventures of Googong Dam.
“Impressive in its scale, meticulous in its detail and unrivalled in its views, this is a home that delivers lifestyle at every level,” says agent Alexandra Ah Key from Blackshaw Queanbeyan and Jerrabomberra. It’s on the market now for $1.75 million to $1.85 million.

A statement home in a league of its own
Perched above Jerrabomberra with sweeping views, this estate blends grand-scale living with the calm feel of a private retreat.
There’s something magical about this Jerrabomberra home, nestled among the trees with uninterrupted views of the regional landscape, but the enchantment extends far beyond its picturesque exterior.
The fve-bedroom home holds an elevated position on more than 3000 square metres in one of Jerra’s most tightly held streets.
Terraced landscaping, highlighted by stone retaining walls, curated plantings and manicured lawns instantly establishes the sheer scale of the estate.
Then come the big numbers: the property ofers 461 square metres of living above a 280-square-metre, 12-car basement garage. Amazingly, within that space is also an 80-square-metre mezzanine level and vehicle hoist.
Beyond the numbers, though, are features galore that will surpass most expectations of a luxury home.
Backing onto the Jerrabomberra Mountain Reserve at the top of a private cul-de-sac, its location is heavily praised by agents Katrice Velnaar and Anthony Weston of Hive Property.
“The position is unrivalled, yet the home has a subtle presence and truly integrates into its environment rather than dominating it,” Weston says.
“Its exterior architecture has a solid, timeless feel that works seamlessly in its location.”
Designed in 2011 by architect Peter Byfeld, the house balances the feel of a private sanctuary with that of a resort.
Velnaar says serious thought is the secret behind the home’s appeal.
Living with ease: The home exudes a sense of calm and comfort through its warm timber floors, stone feature walls, colour palette and fixtures and finishes.
“One of its most outstanding points of diference is the future thinking that has gone into the design,” she says.
“It has anticipated many of the inclusions that modern luxury homes have only gotten around to in the past few years.”
This thoughtful design is refected in a streamlined foor plan that separates communal entertaining areas from private spaces.
Toward the front of the home sits an elegant primary suite, with a walk-in wardrobe and en suite, joined by four additional oversized bedrooms (one with an en suite).
The hallway leads past a lift that connects with the basement to two living options: a sports lounge with a wet bar, and a rumpus room. There’s also a library “quiet zone”, ideal for studying or relaxing.
“One of its most outstanding points of diference is the future thinking that has gone into the design.” Katrice Velnaar
Velnaar says the home’s interior has a unique feel.
“I think the colour palette, the fxtures, fttings and fnishes all contribute toward a sense of calm and comfort,” she says. “That again is a real achievement in creating an intimate space in a large home.”
The heart of the home delivers pure architectural theatre. Soaring cathedral ceilings, warm timber foors, and statement stone feature walls defne the main living area, which has the size and scale for serious entertaining.
The accompanying kitchen is equally impressive, boasting premium appliances and a walk-in pantry.
Home comforts include double glazing, hydronic heating, a gas freplace, air-conditioning and cost-efcient
solar power, along with a home security system.
Outdoor highlights that reinforce the home’s “staycation” vibe range from a pool (with spa) and pizza oven to a putting green and a multipurpose sports court for ball games.
Then there’s the covered al fresco area, which comes with a built-in barbecue for outdoor dining, while the outdoor freplace is the perfect spot for a wind-down glass of red.
Weston says the home is an ideal option for anyone considering building their own.
“It’s a turnkey solution – ready to move in – and that has real appeal,” he says. “You certainly couldn’t build anything like this for anywhere near the same price again.”

Florey’s shops are a big drawcard for residents, ofering plenty of parking and an impressive mix of hospitality and retail.

You’ll also fnd a bustling bakery, butcher and a Supabarn.
According to Blackshaw Belconnen agent Matt Sebbens, Florey has always been a location-driven market.
“Its proximity to Belconnen Town Centre, Lake Ginninderra, quality schools and the convenience of a thriving local shopping precinct make it consistently appealing,” he says.
This appeal extends to a wide demographic, driven largely by the suburb’s versatile property market.
“One of Florey’s key strengths is its diversity of housing,” Sebbens says.
“You’ll fnd everything from twobedroom townhouses through to larger, established family homes, which means it appeals to a broad cross-section of buyers, from frst-home buyers and downsizers to growing families.”
Florey punches above its weight when it comes to food. From fresh banh mi at the bakery, to schnitzel burgers from the takeaway or authentic empanadas at Cesar’s Cafe, there’s something here for every taste.
The great debate between locals! Regulars are split between Cesar’s Cafe and The Irvine Cafe and Bar, but the good news is you can’t go wrong. Both consistently deliver excellent cofee.
Florey Fine Meats is a local institution. Owner Craig has spent more than 15 years honing his craft, ofering premium-quality meat. What really sets it apart is the knowledge and service; it’s old-school butchery at its best.

Rustic life reimagined
Designer Peter Stutchbury transformed a simple cabin into a retreat of natural light and landscape views.
It just may have been the bacon-andegg pie that swayed one of Australia’s most revered architects, Peter Stutchbury, to design a rural retreat for Glyn Patrick and her late husband, John, on their 48-hectare holding at Paynes Crossing, near Wollombi in the Lower Hunter Valley, more than a decade ago.
“When I ofered Peter a piece, his eyes lit up,” Glyn recollects. “He took it and said, ‘I’ll design you a house’. It was as simple as that.”
Stutchbury remembers the moment: “She was a great cook.” But he also recalls being highly impressed by the rustic weekender – a single-room cabin with a verandah and lean-to kitchen –the professional Sydney couple had built with their young boys on a food plain. “They were living organically in the bushland but wanted to formalise that … so they could entertain and live there more full-time,” explains Stutchbury. “That’s a very confronting jump.”
The cabin, though, was pivotal to the design the Sydney architect landed
on, partly because the Patricks were keen to keep its spirit alive. Partly, too, because Stutchbury saw the one-roomer surrounded by all these “outdoor rooms” – a fre pit with seating, a hammock strung up in trees and a table setting beneath pin oaks.
For Stutchbury, whom the couple had approached after seeing him profled on the Nine Network’s Sunday program, it ofered something that resonated with his deep appreciation for the Australian landscape and an innovative approach to sustainability.
Having found the best location – an elevated spot overlooking a grassy valley and bush-covered hills – he designed an elongated of-grid house with a courtyard at its heart, from which pod-like kitchen and dining, sleeping quarters, and a study were spun, as well as a private multi-use snug and wet room.
Over the lot “foated”, at an angle, a big steel sawtooth roof, designed to capture rainwater as well as the winter sun.
“The essence of what we planned is the courtyard, which takes [the idea of] the hut and verandah [which still stand] and turns them into a room that can accommodate two [people] or 20,” says Stutchbury.
Looking north, the courtyard features two large sliding barn-like doors that reach out to the wide-open landscape.
“The idea behind the house was to make a courtyard that wasn’t just a functional advantage,” he explains.
“It brought you to stillness with an opening that engaged with [the Patrick family’s] memory of the [cabin] and love of the alluvial fat below in such a way as to transport them into the new house.”
Specialist architecture agent Marcus Lloyd-Jones likens the experience to a performance.
“Like theatre curtains … occupants become an audience to the spectacle beyond,” says the Modern House principal. “Whether that be the weather or the clear nighttime sky.”
Doors wide open, the courtyard is

“I ofered Glyn and John a very unique bit of thinking, a big roof, some pods underneath and a courtyard, and they took it on. Not a lot would.”
unleashed onto the valley and bush; it joins the landscape. It’s also an invitation to wander – and there’s plenty to explore. Partly ajar, the opening trains the focus. Unsurprisingly, the project is called Vista House.
But the view also changes, like a camera panning, as you move around the courtyard.
“It’s like watching a live panorama … or walking along a flm strip, the landscape changes,” says Glyn. “It’s not like sitting on a verandah looking out at the one view.”
Doors closed, though, the courtyard – paved with recycled bricks – changes
again. Now, it provides shelter and protection, a sense made more palpable by a 600-millimetre-thick rammedearth wall enclosing it. (Although the sky remains ever-present between the wall line and the foating roof.)
Stutchbury, who didn’t see the project through to construction, purposefully designed the partially covered courtyard to accommodate 10 swags – and another memory of the family sleeping under the stars at the cabin, looking up to the sky, watching for falling stars.
“The building is a response to how one could truly imagine living in Australia, given a cultural background that goes back tens of thousands of generations,” says Stutchbury, who views his design as “experimental” and something of a forerunner to another widerranging project, Dimension X, he is currently exploring.
“There’s a real statement there about how we could think about the activity of living in this country. We have undervalued, or devalued, our external space.”
There’s a fuidity and fexibility, too, to the rest of the house that’s been likened to walking through bushland – spaces narrow and widen, little surprises pop up from nowhere, like an outdoor bath or a certain tree spied through an open passageway.
In architect-speak, it’s the arrangement of positive space (structure) and negative (void) that infuences movement, mood and emotion.
For Glyn, it’s simpler: “This house is exciting. After living here nearly 10 years, I still get excitement, I really do. And the changing skies and view and light, they just take my breath away.”
Living in the landscape: The house invites the surrounding bushland in at every turn, through terraces, courtyards and open spaces.

A never-ending pool season
Every year in Canberra, as the temperature drops, a mourning period begins. Beautiful backyard pools sit unused while owners admire them wistfully from indoors.
However, at 62 Wanderlight Avenue in Lawson, pool season doesn’t end when autumn arrives.
Fully enclosed in an architectural pergola with automatic shutters overhead, the home’s striking pool pavilion feels like a private resort wing. Accessed seamlessly from the living spaces and an indoor-outdoor kitchen,
it creates a place where swimming and entertaining can continue comfortably year-round.
That’s just one piece of what is a truly impressive home. Designed and built by its owners, every element refects the careful thought that went into how the space would actually be lived in.
The kitchen is inspired by Scandinavian simplicity, with extensive cabinetry, a granite sink, double ovens and a walk-in pantry.
The adjoining open-plan living and dining area is anchored by a freplace,
“An extensively designed home showcasing quality fnishes and a wide range of features, with plenty of space to relax, entertain, and enjoy everyday living.”
while sliding doors peel back to the pool pavilion.
The main bedroom also enjoys pool views, plus a walk-in wardrobe and an en suite with a spa bath. On the same level, two more bedrooms feature their own walk-in robes, alongside the main bathroom, which also has a bath.
Upstairs, a fourth bedroom sits alongside a bathroom, while a ffth bedroom could work as a rumpus room.
In a city where pool season is often feeting, this home makes sure it never really has to end.
