Pricing is a guarded topic, mostly because there is literally no other property to compare it to.“A property on a similar sized block in Deakin - on the exact same street as this one - recently sold for $4.55m,” Miriana says.“And the original home on that block was most likely a knockdown.&quot;So then you have to ask, how much would it cost to build a house like this on that block?&quot;<img alt="45-national-circuit-forrest-act-2603-66890-image-0-20221015004631321484-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/45-national-circuit-forrest-act-2603-66890-ima.width-800_8agAokd.jpg" width="800">Miriana is hoping to see as many bidders as possible at the auction on Saturday morning - including a buyer who has said they want to buy the home, site unseen - but says &quot;it&#x27;s hard to know&quot;.<img alt="45-national-circuit-forrest-act-2603-66890-image-0-20221015004630873133-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/45-national-circuit-forrest-act-2603-66890-ima.width-800_1ekUjQH.jpg" width="800">&quot;At the price point we&#x27;re working with, people aren&#x27;t giving anything away,&quot; Miriana says.<img alt="45-national-circuit-forrest-act-2603-66890-image-0-20221015004632100849-crop-c0-5__0-5-1600x750-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="375" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/45-national-circuit-forrest-act-2603-66890-ima.width-800_LmaVxbC.jpg" width="800">The gorgeous five-bedroom, four-bathroom home at 45 National Circuit was the dream of a local builder and his family. The entire property is a throwback to the 1950s and 60s desert retreats of Palm Springs, California, including the immaculate lawned backyard and the peanut-shaped swimming pool.A stunning presence from the street shows off a circular driveway, meticulous landscaping and sleek 1960s typography on the mailbox.<img alt="45-national-circuit-forrest-act-2603-66890-image-0-20221015004631722641-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/45-national-circuit-forrest-act-2603-66890-ima.width-800_LSUzRNr.jpg" width="800">With natural pebblecrete, veneer joinery, hydronic gas slab heating, Italian feature lighting and 1960s decorative breeze blocks, the home is an absolute dream for most Canberrans.Number 45 National Circuit, Forrest, goes to auction this Saturday 22 October at 11am.<a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/45-national-circuit-forrest-act-2603-66890/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">View the full listing.</a>

It’s so hard to take your eyes off that view.”Built by Capezio &amp; Co in 2006, the home was designed by Collins Caddaye Architects to take advantage of the panoramic city vistas across Canberra to Parliament House and Black Mountain Tower.The floorplan offers vast open living areas with well-proportioned rooms and is flooded in northern sunlight.<img alt="3-tamar-street-red-hill-act-2603-63085-image-0-20220917033137618234-crop-c0-5__0-5-1600x750-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="375" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/3-tamar-street-red-hill-act-2603-63085-image-0.width-800_rbdVj5X.jpg" width="800">The current owners say it’s the perfect family home.

One of the true benefits of living in Canberra is not having to choose between city or country. You can live in the heart of Civic in an apartment, but be surrounded by nature and feel far from civilisation with as little as a 10 minute drive.Or, like with <a href="/sale/130-mckeahnie-lane-sutton-nsw-2620-47869/">130 McKeahnie Lane Sutton</a>, you can live on acreage and enjoy rural living, with top-notch eateries, shops and services just minutes away. The five bedroom, four bathroom home sits on 13.74 hectares, just off the Federal Highway in Sutton. It’s less than a 10 minute drive to Dickson, while 15 minutes will get you to the heart of Civic.<img alt="130 McKeahnie Lane Sutton 2.png" class="richtext-image full-width" height="478" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/130_McKeahnie_Lane_Sutton_2.width-800.png" width="800">Right from the moment you drive up the circular driveway, it’s apparent this home is special. It makes the most of ample space with four living area, and huge bedrooms. The oversized kitchen features both gas and electric cooktops, a huge walk-in pantry, plus ample bench and storage space. The triple car garage is complemented with a triple carport and workshop space.Outside is a covered alfresco area, which is a beautiful spot for a barbecue, and a private dam.“The front garden looking onto the huge dam with ducks on it is spectacular,” says selling agent <a href="/agents/miriana-cavic/">Miriana Cavic</a> from <a href="/agencies/luton-manuka/">Luton Manuka</a>.“The entrance of the home, and the drive up feel beautiful. When you are in the home the outside is brought in through every window. It’s very calming.”<img alt="130 McKeahnie Lane Sutton 3.png" class="richtext-image full-width" height="463" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/130_McKeahnie_Lane_Sutton_3.width-800.png" width="800">The estate has been with the same family since 1972, when they used it to run livestock for their family business while they lived nearby in Canberra.“The husband wanted to build their dream home in 1975, but the wife felt her kids were too young to move there. Eagle Hawk and the service station were not there at the time, nor was the highway in that position,” says Miriana.As Canberra grew, the family made plans to build their dream home on the Sutton property, and moved there in 1988. It has been a much-loved family home ever since, and now they’re ready to pass it on to a new family.“They love the land and the garden, and all the space,” says Miriana.“It’s six minutes to Dickson and close to Fyshwick. It offers the ideal lifestyle of country life, almost in the city.”And no worries if you’re new to rural living–everything has been set up for you.“The infrastructure is fantastic–water tanks, dams, working bores, electricity, gas, solar panels. They have made sure living there is as comfortable as possible,” says Miriana.<a href="/sale/130-mckeahnie-lane-sutton-nsw-2620-47869/">130 McKeahnie Lane</a> is going to auction on Saturday October 30.
