What's better than a man cave? Your own tennis court, pool and golf course

There is no way on earth I’m texting this listing in Belconnen to my husband.

Why? Because he’d be at Storage King buying boxes and packing up the family home in Queanbeyan faster than you can say ‘Scottie Scheffler’.

Not only does it come surrounded by a golf course, it’s also like being on holiday 365 days a year; with a tennis court and a sparkling pool available to residents of the small cluster of homes at number 131 Britten-Jones Drive, Holt.

The three-bed, two-bath property on the very outskirts of Canberra is one of only 50 homes in a unique golf course estate in Belconnen called ‘Wiluna’; a mix of for single and double storey homes built in 2000 for a mixed demographic of buyers, including downsizers, professionals and families.

It’s the kind of home you actually would love to retire to, except that the size of its rooms and number of bedrooms means a family with two (or three) kids could move in right now.

“There’s definitely an attraction to the Belconnen downsizer for this development, but there’s also a new flush of buyers that have included young families,” says sales agent Jack Wilson of Cream Residential.

“There are a number of retirees in the complex, and certainly the single level homes backing the golf course appealed to that demographic at the time of construction 20 years ago.”

Life on the outskirts of Belconnen is incredibly quiet, Jack says, but the other benefits of living at Wiluna — a secluded estate in the heart of a golf course — include security and privacy.

When you do feel like socialising, the Burns Golf Club is less than a minute’s walk away.

“The club itself is fantastic,” Jack says.

“Burns Golf Club is an updated and exceptional facility with a restaurant, bar and gaming facilities open until late, seven days a week. The 18-hole golf course is open to the public.

“I also love that the home is close to Kippax Fair, walking trails and the Belconnen Town Centre, and it’s about 15 minutes away from Civic.”

People inspecting the resort-style feel of ‘Wiluna’ are loving it.

“For lovers of golf and tennis, it’s ideal,” Jack says.

“It’s an exceptional home in a unique location, and you’re buying within a community of people who’ve sought out a well-kept, low maintenance complex surrounded by golf course.

“There’s nothing quite like it in Canberra.”

35/131 Britten-Jones Drive, Holt, goes to auction at 10am on Saturday 13 July 2024.
