What if your own slice of paradise existed … in Wanniassa?

A sun-soaked home looking for the chance to be filled with family memories awaits in Wanniassa.Located in one of Tuggeranong’s most sought-after suburbs, <a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/13a-byrne-street-wanniassa-act-2903-105664/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">13A Byrne Street</a> is a four-bedroom, two-bathroom home that combines both comfort and convenience.Built in 2019, this quality residence offers everything you need for effortless living.<a href="https://zango.com.au/agencies/mcintyre-property/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">McIntyre</a> licensed property agent <a href="/agents/colin-mcintyre/">Colin McIntyre</a> says the house is exceptionally low maintenance.“It’s such an easy house to take care of; the garden pretty much takes care of itself, and because the house is so well designed, there isn’t really anything that needs to be adjusted,” he says.Upon entering the home, a hardwood timber floor-lined entryway leads directly to a spacious living room, offering views into your private courtyard. Three glass sliding doors bring stunning views and flood the area with sunlight.<img alt="13a-byrne-street-wanniassa-act-2903-105664-image-0-20240802061805047481-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/13a-byrne-street-wanniassa-act-2903-105664-ima.width-800_AdSrlAN.jpg" width="800">The living room leads to an open-plan kitchen, dining and family area. The kitchen includes Smeg appliances and ceramic benchtops with plenty of storage as well as a floor-to-ceiling pantry cupboard, making cooking and entertaining not only convenient but enjoyable.A big home on a smaller block means every inch of this house has been put to use. The walkway towards the bedrooms doubles as a study area, complete with an in-built desk and drawers. The area’s large enough to comfortably fit two to three people looking to study or work from home.Nestled in its own corner of the house, the master bedroom includes a spacious walk-in robe and a beautifully designed ensuite.All three secondary bedrooms offer a sun-soaked and cozy feel, all completed with neutral-coloured carpet, large windows and built-in robes.And if you’re lucky enough to be in the second or third bedroom, you can enjoy direct access to a courtyard.<img alt="13a-byrne-street-wanniassa-act-2903-105664-image-0-20240802061803997411-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/13a-byrne-street-wanniassa-act-2903-105664-ima.width-800.jpg" width="800">In the backyard, there is a chance to redefine outdoor entertainment with plenty of space to gather under a retractable awning, low-maintenance gardens and raised garden beds, all surrounded by Colourbond fencing, ensuring you can relax and entertain in complete privacy.The house also includes underfloor heating and ducted reverse-cycle heating and cooling for year-round comfort, while solar panels help bring your power bills down.For convenience, there’s a double garage with internal access.Located less than a 10-minute walk from the Wanniassa shops, the community playground, and a quick drive to Wanniassa Hills Primary School, as well as public transport, the house is the perfect place for a growing family, or a couple that wants room to move.<img alt="13a-byrne-street-wanniassa-act-2903-105664-image-0-20240802061811515229-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/13a-byrne-street-wanniassa-act-2903-105664-ima.width-800_44Eaike.jpg" width="800">13A Byrne Street, Wanniassa is currently Under Offer.<a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/13a-byrne-street-wanniassa-act-2903-105664/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">View the full listing.</a>Article originally written and published by <a href="https://the-riotact.com/a-perfectly-placed-home-on-a-low-maintenance-block-awaits-in-wanniassa/794495" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">the RiotACT.</a>

Where to live in Canberra if you love a good Chinese feed

Imagine the look on my face when I made a new friend at a baby shower last weekend who told me she’d grown up in “Canberra’s Vatican City”.Hang on … Sorry …. What? Where was this sacred area of the capital she was talking about? How had I never heard of it?It turns out she was talking about Canberra’s tiniest suburb: Oxley. Postcode 2903. Sandwiched between Wanniassa and Monash, a triangle-shaped locality fronting Drakeford Drive (and Lake Tuggeranong) on one side and Erindale Drive on the other. The miniscule suburb is just 1.08km2, consisting of 649 private dwellings and home to 1703 people. (Vatican City is just 0.49km2).<img alt="Screen Shot 2024-03-26 at 4.23.02 pm" class="richtext-image full-width" height="332" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/Screen_Shot_2024-03-26_at_4.23.02_pm.width-800.png" width="643">It’s basically one single street – Newman-Morris Circuit – running parallel to the sides of the triangle with a series of cul-de-sacs running off it. Like the Vatican, it’s a mini city within a city (though non-religious, of course) and an area very much coveted by families in Canberra’s deep south.According to sales agent <a href="https://zango.com.au/agents/colin-blunden/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Colin Blunden</a> from <a href="https://zango.com.au/agencies/mcintyre-property/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">McIntyre Property</a>, homes in Oxley, which was officially established in 1985, “rarely come up for sale”.<img alt="14-dalgarno-close-oxley-act-2903-94688-image-0-20240317233211006308-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/14-dalgarno-close-oxley-act-2903-94688-image-0.width-800.jpg" width="800">“Statistically, Oxley is the Canberra suburb where people stay in their homes the longest,” Colin says.“So when homes do come up for sale, you get interest purely from people wanting to come and see what life there is like.”Colin held the Oxley suburb record in 2012 for a cavernous six-bedroom home he describes as “like something from Gone With the Wind”.Oxley is nothing like its giant neighbours Wanniassa or Kambah, Colin says, but more like another tiny Tuggeranong suburb down the road: Macarthur.<img alt="1-connibere-crescent-oxley-act-2903-89860-image-0-20231106001648672459-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/1-connibere-crescent-oxley-act-2903-89860-imag.width-800.jpg" width="800">Housing in Oxley is a mix of townhouses and standalone dwellings; and while the McMansions on huge 1000sqm+ blocks along Newman-Morris are plentiful, it’s a suburb with limited amenity, including the lack of a set of local shops.Do those who live there care?“Not at all,” Colin says. “You’re a 10-minute walk from South.Point and the restaurants along Anketell Street, and just minutes from Erindale and Wanniassa shops.”<img alt="1-connibere-crescent-oxley-act-2903-89860-image-0-20231106001646228291-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/1-connibere-crescent-oxley-act-2903-89860-imag.width-800_48nDAcw.jpg" width="800">Sales agent <a href="https://zango.com.au/agents/maya-rourke/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Maya Rourke</a> from McIntryre Property describes Oxley as the “hidden gem of the south”.“If you want supreme location, this is it,” she says.“It’s the ultimate location in Tuggeranong: so close to the town centre without being in the hustle and bustle of Greenway.”<img alt="6-lamble-place-oxley-act-2903-95839-image-0-20240316030136501646-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/6-lamble-place-oxley-act-2903-95839-image-0-20.width-800.jpg" width="800">Maya loves selling in Oxley because it mostly includes helping families settle into a home they’ll likely stay in a very long time.“You can’t compare 2903 to any other suburb in Canberra,” she says.“It’s got its own vibe, and it might be small, but it’s very well known down here in the south.”<a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/search/?listing_type=buy&amp;address_suburb=Oxley,%202903,%20ACT&amp;surrounding=true&amp;order_by=price&amp;property_status_groups=current,underOffer,includePrivate&amp;page=1" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">View current listings in Oxley, ACT.</a>

'The Vatican City of Canberra': welcome to the tiny suburb of Oxley

Here is a beautifully presented and fully renovated home ready and waiting for its new occupants.The three-bedroom, one-bathroom property at <a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/10-annand-place-wanniassa-act-2903-93518/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">10 Annand Place</a> in Wanniassa will grab the attention of families, downsizers, professionals or savvy investors, says <a href="https://zango.com.au/agencies/real-estate-shop/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Real Estate Shop</a> agent <a href="/agents/natalie-roberts/">Natalie Roberts</a>.<img alt="10-annand-place-wanniassa-act-2903-93518-image-0-20240111211640669937-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="532" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/10-annand-place-wanniassa-act-2903-93518-image.width-800_QjxOQZi.jpg" width="800">The 702 sqm block provides a large, family-friendly backyard perfect for trampolines, outdoor play equipment, additional landscaping, gardens, or other outdoor activities.“Wanniassa as a whole is a great suburb. It has good growth, great shops, good schools. It’s basically got everything, and it’s only a skip and a jump away to Tuggeranong and Woden, the lake, and all those things that people generally want,” she said.“One of the main things I think that ticks all the boxes is that the property is move-in ready.”Inside, the renovations have been done to a high quality.<img alt="10-annand-place-wanniassa-act-2903-93518-image-0-20240213004742320523-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="532" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/10-annand-place-wanniassa-act-2903-93518-image.width-800_9lArSXQ.jpg" width="800">“This is not your kaboodle kitchen-style renovation. You can renovate, but if you don’t do it well, then it’s not going to add as much value. Everything here has been touched inside and the result is very modern and clean.”There are stone benchtops in the kitchen, which is very functional and a lovely space, says Natalie.“The main living space, because it’s so open and lets so much natural light throughout the whole hub of the home, makes it really inviting and useable.“Everyone can be together – if someone’s cooking, you can still chat with your spouse, kids or guests, so it’s quite intimate in that respect.”She said buyers were also seeking homes with an excellent indoor-to-outdoor flow.“This home delivers that. The kitchen opens onto the outdoor deck area, another big plus, especially at this time of year.”Natalie said another bonus is the home sits at the end of a cul-de-sac, which means only one neighbour on either side and no one at the rear.“It’s very private and leafy all year round.“It’s an easy-care home at the moment. All you’ll need is a lawnmower; for some people, this is exactly what they want. Other people might want more time in the garden and here they could add shrubbery, a veggie garden or fruit trees if that is what they are after. There’s plenty of sun that comes into that back area.”She said there was room for an extension, with access to the rear yard available on the right-hand side of the property.“There’s plenty of scope there if someone wanted to add an extra bedroom if that was a requirement down the track.”<img alt="10-annand-place-wanniassa-act-2903-93518-image-0-20240213004742588438-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/10-annand-place-wanniassa-act-2903-93518-image.width-800_muvBnOM.jpg" width="800">The bedrooms are generously sized and are all equipped with mirrored built-in robes.The main layout features floating timber floors.

Newly renovated home in Wanniassa offers modern living and family-friendly amenities

There are people who love the suburb they live in and then there are people from Wanniassa. The more Canberrans I’ve met from 2903 over the years, the more intriguing it’s become. They rave about living there but they never really quite say why. On the surface, it looks remarkably like any other working class suburb in the Tuggeranong Valley (sorry people who live in Wanniassa Hills) but Wanniassans are way more vocal about how good it is.<img alt="wanniassa sign" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/wanniassa_sign.width-800.jpg" width="800">So what’s the secret sauce? The extensive range of schools on offer (which draw in students from right across the ACT)? Great amenities? I did some digging last week and discovered this: life in Wanniassa sounds distinctly like life in a small town I know only too well.“It’s honestly like a little town within a big town,” says Fiona Lester of Wanniassa, her home of 30 years.“The sense of community here is just incredible. I felt it when I moved here in 1994, and I still feel it today.”<img alt="Screen Shot 2024-02-06 at 9.00.50 am" class="richtext-image full-width" height="435" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/Screen_Shot_2024-02-06_at_9.00.50_am.width-800.png" width="776">Fiona owns and runs The Markets Wanniassa, a collective of handmade and innovative Australian products showcased under one roof at the Wanniassa shops. She and husband James raised nine kids in the suburb, but it was actually during COVID that she felt the absolute spirit of her suburb shine through.“During the lockdowns, the shop really struggled,” Fiona says.“And I had people calling me every day to say, we want you to survive. We want to make sure the shop stays open during this. How can we help?“So I’d send them to our online store and they’d buy from there.“It was just unbelievable, I don’t know if shop owners in other suburbs have the same connection with the people of their suburb but I’d love to think so.”<img alt="wanniassa playground" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/wanniassa_playground.width-800.jpg" width="800">The more Fiona talks about 2903, the more it feels like she’s describing a small NSW town. Many of Fiona’s kids scored their first jobs in Wanniassa – at Coles or Red Rooster – and there’s a cast of local characters that everyone knows. Like “Chicken Man”, who’ll grab a BBQ chook the moment he enters Coles and eat it while he walks around shopping.Fiona’s friend Margaret Larkin bought a house on Rylah Crescent in 1984 and has never left. She remembers paying $57,000 for the small three-bedroom brick home, and making instant friends with the other parents of kids attending Wanniassa Primary School. She’s friends with many of them today.<img alt="wanniassa-school-810x540" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/wanniassa-school-810x540.width-800.jpg" width="800">It’s Wanniassa’s location – smack bang between Woden and Tuggeranong – that Margaret says is the suburb’s best kept secret.“It&#x27;s just so convenient,” she says.“When we moved in here, we had the shops very close to us. Woden was very accessible. Of course, Tuggeranong didn&#x27;t exist. But now we’ve got the best of both town centres.“School options for families living here are really good.“It&#x27;s also the bushwalks that are close, including Mount Taylor, and the sports ovals are close. We just feel so spoiled with lovely open areas and bush close by.”<img alt="halloween house" class="richtext-image full-width" height="600" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/halloween_house.width-800.jpg" width="800">The creative force behind Canberra Halloween House Wanniassa, Connie Warburton, describes life in 2903 in a single sentence:“We&#x27;ve been doing the house for around eight years now and people come in their thousands ... we&#x27;ve watched the kids grow up each year when they come to visit - it’s awesome.&quot;Does Wanniassa sound like your dream suburb? <a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/search/?listing_type=buy&amp;address_suburb=Wanniassa,%202903,%20ACT&amp;surrounding=true&amp;order_by=-created&amp;property_status_groups=current,underOffer,includePrivate&amp;page=1" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">View homes for sale in 2903 now.</a>

The Zango listings that look like your Nan and Pop's house is for sale

From the older, glamorous suburbs of Kingston and Manuka to younger, innovative and sustainable suburbs like Ginninderry and Whitlam, there’s no doubt Canberra offers a diverse selection of places to call home.But what if we matched our suburbs with their red-carpet counterparts? If Canberra suburbs were celebrities, who would they be?<h3 data-block-key="87ksn">Wanniassa: Russell Crowe</h3><img alt="Body_Image_800px_532px.png" class="richtext-image full-width" height="531" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/Body_Image_800px_532px_uf8Rkpq.width-800.png" width="800">This one came directly from a resident of Wanniassa.“If we were a celebrity we’d be Russell Crowe,” she says.“Big, cuddly, friendly, generous and down to earth. Enjoys his nature and doesn’t mind a flanny or an unkempt beard.“Also, he keeps it real despite being the jewel in the Hollywood crown - just like Wanniassa keeps it real but is easily Canberra’s best suburb.”Well said.<h3 data-block-key="cv406">Griffith: Helen Mirren</h3><img alt="Body_Image_800px_532px2.png" class="richtext-image full-width" height="531" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/Body_Image_800px_532px2_vqaKDgq.width-800.png" width="800">Older, elegant, classy and desirable - if ever there was a celebrity who best represented one of Canberra’s first suburbs, Helen Mirren is it.Mirren has played a wide range of characters but has become somewhat known for her portrayal of royal figures. Arthur Circle, Bannister Gardens and La Perouse Street - it doesn’t come more ‘royal’ than that.<h3 data-block-key="56q0a">Braddon: Ed Sheeran</h3><img alt="Body_Image_800px_532px3.png" class="richtext-image full-width" height="531" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/Body_Image_800px_532px3_LGulKuc.width-800.png" width="800">Braddon is a lot older than Ed (the British singer-songwriter is just 31-years-old) but Ed’s most famous songs couldn’t be a better description of Braddon: think Beautiful People, Happier, Feels, Perfect and All of the Stars.Sheeran is effortlessly cool and just gets better year after year. Much like our inner city hot spot.<h3 data-block-key="6m252">Gordon: Tim Allen</h3><img alt="Body_Image_800px_532px4.png" class="richtext-image full-width" height="531" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/Body_Image_800px_532px4.width-800.png" width="800">This Hollywood funny man is at his best at Christmas time - remind you of a particular Canberra suburb? Allen starred in The Santa Clause 1, 2 and 3, Christmas with the Cranks and El Camino Christmas, making him the Hollywood star with the most Christmas movies under his belt. Gordon comes to life with a festival glow from mid-November onward and draws crowds from right across the capital. It’s a perfect match.<h3 data-block-key="burmq">Denman Prospect: Ashton Kutcher</h3><img alt="Body_Image_800px_532px5.png" class="richtext-image full-width" height="531" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/Body_Image_800px_532px5.width-800.png" width="800">Young, good-looking and with a love of innovation, Ashton Kutcher is the Denman Prospect of Hollywood. As much an angel investor as an actor, Ashton Kutcher has inspired a wave of celebrities to follow his lead in funding tech companies.Future-focused Denman Prospect was the first Australian suburb to have a minimum requirement for solar power on every single dwelling and electric charge stations at the village shops.<h3 data-block-key="9ti4d">Ainslie: Jane Fonda</h3><img alt="Body_Image_800px_532px6.png" class="richtext-image full-width" height="531" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/Body_Image_800px_532px6.width-800.png" width="800">Well-known for her generosity and social conscience, actress Jane Fonda is the perfect Ainslie.<h3 data-block-key="b21jj">Charnwood: Sophie Monk</h3><img alt="Body_Image_800px_532px7.png" class="richtext-image full-width" height="531" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/Body_Image_800px_532px7.width-800.png" width="800">As Aussie as they come and with an absolute heart of gold. Sophie’s proud of her heritage and is adored by many (although she cops some serious flack from the other actors and the media around her). Definitely sounds like Charnwood to us.<h3 data-block-key="76tn6">Queanbeyan: Mel Gibson</h3><img alt="Body_Image_800px_532px8.png" class="richtext-image full-width" height="531" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/Body_Image_800px_532px8.width-800.png" width="800">Not Mel in his later years but Mel at his absolute best in the 1980s - gorgeous, fearless and with the perfect mullet. Mel’s character in Lethal Weapon - Martin Riggs - didn’t mince his words and he understood the partnership he was in was truly special. In that case, does that make Danny Glover (aka Roger Murtaugh) the Canberra to Mel Gibson’s Queanbeyan?

If Canberra suburbs were Hollywood celebrities

When people ask <a href="https://zango.com.au/agents/mark-mccann/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Mark McCann</a> about buying or selling a home in Wanniassa, they can rest assured he knows what he’s talking about. Speaking to us from his home in Wanniassa, the agent and founder of <a href="https://zango.com.au/agencies/mccann-properties/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">McCann Properties</a> has sold well over 100 properties in the suburb alone. The Scottish born agent fell in love with the leafy southside town during a series of property appraisals. He has since bought a home in Wanniassa and opened McCann Properties in 2015, which is located in Erindale – the main shopping precinct in Wanniassa.“I grew up in Scotland and moved back and forth between the Canberra region and the UK in my younger years, until settling in Sydney’s northern beaches for a while. Because my family is here, I decided to move back to Canberra and came to know the Wanniassa area well while doing property appraisals.”“Wanniassa Hills is particularly beautiful, with amazing views and block sizes much larger than you’ll find elsewhere in Canberra. You don’t feel hemmed in or have to spend your time staring into your neighbour’s yard. I also love that you can drive in from any direction and see green everywhere, with the Brindabellas in the background.”<img alt="McCann-3.jpg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="530" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/McCann-3.width-800.jpg" width="800">Mark decided to buy a home in Wanniassa Hills and says it was the perfect decision for his family. “We don’t need to leave Wanniassa at all if we don’t want to! Everything is here – my kids go to school here, play sport here, and we have many friends here. When I decided to start my own agency, it made sense to focus on Wanniassa. It meant I could get to know the market really well and keep my finger on the pulse in terms of what was selling or about to become available for interested buyers. “Specialising in this area helps me provide a better service to my clients, which was always very important to me.”There is no doubt Mark’s recent vendors are extremely happy with the service from McCann Properties. A couple of weeks ago, <a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/10-maltby-circuit-wanniassa-act-2903-45753/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">10 Maltby Circuit in Wanniassa</a> sold for a whopping $1,307,000. Just a couple of months beforehand, <a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/26-maltby-circuit-wanniassa-act-2903-41869/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">26 Maltby Circuit, Wanniassa</a> landed its owners an impressive $1,070,000 sale price. <img alt="McCann-6.jpg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="530" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/McCann-6.width-800.jpg" width="800">“Maltby Circuit is highly sought after because of its location. It offers very easy access to the local shops and main road to Woden and Tuggeranong, and it’s also in the Wanniassa Hills school zone which is a very popular public school. Many of the blocks are over 1000sqm, so it appeals to families who want a decent-sized yard so the kids can play outside instead of being inside on devices all day.”Mark says lockdowns have not impeded sales in the slightest, with many buyers happy to bid on properties they have not physically visited. “We had 15 registered bidders for 10 Maltby Circuit, and only 2 had actually been inside the property. To help interested parties decide if it was the right home for them, we did a thorough video walk-through and the feedback was that the home had a great, comfortable vibe. “The sale price was well over the reserve and the vendors were over the moon. Our team has sold several properties at auction since lockdown started which all ended up significantly over reserve; one owner cried because she simply couldn’t believe it.”<img alt="McCann-7.jpg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="530" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/McCann-7.width-800.jpg" width="800">Mark and his team have also recently sold properties in other southside suburbs with results that far exceeded client expectations. This includes a property in Banks where 7 registered bidders competed for the 3 bedroom home until the hammer went down at $794,000.“Regardless of what’s happening with COVID, Canberra is very fortunate to have a stable public service workforce. While some people are sitting on the fence to buy, I believe the growth we’ve seen in property values will be sustained – especially on the southside and in such beautiful and conveniently-located suburbs like Wanniassa.”

Knowing his own backyard, Local Wanniassa agent Mark McCann achieves another stellar result
