Welcome to Canberra's $6 million club

There are some pretty gorgeous homes in the newer north-western suburbs of Canberra but when it comes to the capital’s luxury home market, the inner south has always reigned supreme.

Prices in the inner south hit upward of $6 million this year, with buyers paying a premium to live on estates in Deakin, Red Hill and Griffith.

Here’s what you can expect if you find yourself lucky enough to join the $6 million club in Canberra.

$6,770,000

9 Northcote Crescent, Deakin

Sold: February 2023
Block size: 2130sqm
Living area: 660sqm
Age: 11 years
Agent: Bill Lyristakis, Berkely Residential

With the nickname ‘Westhampton’, this home had the Zango office speechless when it launched on our site in March.

The classic Hamptons-style angles of the ceilings were the main features we fawned over, along with the divine custom cabinetry and the raised pool.

Built in 2012, ‘Westhampton’ is located in a tightly held pocket of Deakin and shares a back fence with 82 Empire Circuit: the home that holds Canberra's property price record of $9 million.

With a reception hall, a music room, a library and seven bedrooms, this grand estate is the highest price achieved on Zango so far in 2023.

$6,660,000

4 Moresby Street, Red Hill

Sold: April 2023
Block size: 3402sqm
Living area: 296sqm
Age: 96 years
Agent: Richard and Sophie Luton, Luton Properties

The original owners of this grand estate likely went to sleep listening to the sounds of sheep baa-ing on Red Hill. Built in 1927 on the outskirts of the capital, it was one of Canberra’s first luxury homes.

The owners of the property obtained one of the first drivers licences available in the ACT.

It was this history that appealed to the buyers of 4 Moresby Street, Red Hill, when they bought it in April according to sales agent Richard Luton.

While the property was located on the outskirts of town at the time it was built, it’s now in the very centre of the city – a private estate in the heart of the inner south. The rarest of the rare.

$6,000,000

13 Landsborough Street, Griffith

Sold: June 2023
Block size: 1073sqm
Living area: 483spm
Age: Two years
Agent: Bill Lyristakis, Berkely Residential

Welcome to celebrity living in Canberra. In the Zango office, this was the home ‘with a carpark bigger than Westfield’s’: able to house an astounding 10-14 vehicles.

From the steam room and the wine fridge to the pool, this home offered pure luxury at every turn.

And with ultra-modern, future-proof touches like being electric vehicle ready, auto irrigation, automatic blinds, a server rack and 32 amp 3 phase power, it’s little wonder the property hit the six millions.

(Okay, mostly, we were obsessed with the ZIP filtered hot/cold tap. Nothing says ‘I’ve made it’ like boiling water on tap.)
