There is no way on earth I’m texting <a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/35-131-britten-jones-drive-holt-act-2615-103059/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">this listing in Belconnen</a> 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’.<img alt="35-131-britten-jones-drive-holt-act-2615-103059-image-0-20240619030150280477-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/35-131-britten-jones-drive-holt-act-2615-10305.width-800.jpg" width="800">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.<img alt="tennis" class="richtext-image full-width" height="519" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/tennis.width-800.jpg" width="800">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.<img alt="35-131-britten-jones-drive-holt-act-2615-103059-image-0-20240619030151783973-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/35-131-britten-jones-drive-holt-act-2615-10305.width-800_g5M9fPq.jpg" width="800">“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.<img alt="pool" class="richtext-image full-width" height="519" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/pool_yEaqRfv.width-800.jpg" width="800">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.<img alt="35-131-britten-jones-drive-holt-act-2615-103059-image-0-20240619030156977911-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/35-131-britten-jones-drive-holt-act-2615-10305.width-800_M9nfO4F.jpg" width="800">“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.<img alt="35-131-britten-jones-drive-holt-act-2615-103059-image-0-20240619030155113426-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/35-131-britten-jones-drive-holt-act-2615-10305.width-800_P76Hiaf.jpg" width="800">“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.<a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/35-131-britten-jones-drive-holt-act-2615-103059/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">View the full listing.</a>

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

From two different types of brick in the front fence to a backyard that’s half concrete, half orchard, <a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/83-springvale-drive-weetangera-act-2614-96512/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">this massive abode on Springvale Drive, Weetangera</a>, is a Nonna’s house for sure.The five-bathroom, three-bedroom home, located on a massive 1142sqm block, hit the market this week. A quick glance through the property’s photos takes you right back to the 1970s and 80s, when you’d sleep over at Nonna and Nonno’s house while mum and dad went for dinner at one of the local clubs.<img alt="83-springvale-drive-weetangera-act-2614-96512-image-0-20240228204650492909-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/83-springvale-drive-weetangera-act-2614-96512-.width-800.jpg" width="800">But while there are elements of Nonna’s original house still intact – check out the wood panelling and sliding glass door in the dining room – there are parts of the home that look like Uncle Stefano himself was given free reign to modernise on the family’s behalf.The kitchen has been updated to monochrome, the bathrooms have been renovated, and the lounge room upstairs is now a bachelor pad complete with arcade game and a couch made for watching the entire Fast and Furious franchise.<img alt="83-springvale-drive-weetangera-act-2614-96512-image-0-20240228204648056505-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/83-springvale-drive-weetangera-act-2614-96512-.width-800_2fyzqcM.jpg" width="800">It’s obvious the property has been cared for beautifully its whole life and its new owners will be buying not only a little piece of north Canberra history, but a home with loads and loads of potential.Here’s what we’re loving about this house.<h3 data-block-key="9c407">The gorgeous 1970s features.</h3><img alt="83-springvale-drive-weetangera-act-2614-96512-image-0-20240228204648608755-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/83-springvale-drive-weetangera-act-2614-96512-.width-800_yDMkZID.jpg" width="800">The built-in dressing table. The tiles in the bottom of the ensuite shower. The wooden skirting boards, door frames and pelmets. The light fixtures. All stunning details you’d keep to retain the charm and character of the home’s past.<h3 data-block-key="6rsm9">The downstairs flat.</h3><img alt="83-springvale-drive-weetangera-act-2614-96512-image-0-20240228204651215220-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/83-springvale-drive-weetangera-act-2614-96512-.width-800_uaKg1XN.jpg" width="800">Every Nonna’s house had a small flat underneath for uncles Stefano and Luca right? Or for Angela tp move into when she married her Aussie boyfriend. The lower level of this home could easily be rented out separately, complete with its own access, single bedroom, living room, kitchenette, laundry and bathroom facilities.<h3 data-block-key="6h0kk">The ‘hobby spaces’ under the house.</h3>Otherwise known as the place where Nonna makes his grappa, the cool rooms underneath the house will make for an excellent cellar for the new owner.<h3 data-block-key="d8j2q">The backyard orchard.</h3><img alt="83-springvale-drive-weetangera-act-2614-96512-image-0-20240228204646613268-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/83-springvale-drive-weetangera-act-2614-96512-.width-800_Pfi2MX1.jpg" width="800">Two options here: a) get the whole family involved in planting and harvesting the figs, plums, cherries, chestnuts, mandarins, pears and peaches (there are also pecans, blueberries and pomegranates) or b) completely remove the bountiful garden to make way for a pool and a spa (and quite possibly a sauna).<h3 data-block-key="395iq">The location.</h3><img alt="83-springvale-drive-weetangera-act-2614-96512-image-0-20240228204653193618-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/83-springvale-drive-weetangera-act-2614-96512-.width-800_OQug6au.jpg" width="800">Close to the Hawker Shops and Belconnen Town Centre, and within walking distance of the Pinnacle Nature Reserve and Weetangera School and playing fields.

If you’re a Belconnen freelancer who misses having an actual workplace, or a small business in the 2617 region looking for a new home, we have excellent news.<a href="https://zango.com.au/rent/level-1-11-swanson-court-belconnen-act-2617-99429/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Coworking space JAGA</a>, located on Swanson Court, has a range of offices available for businesses looking for a modern, flexible and friendly workplace.The offices have views of Margaret Timpson Park and are located minutes from Lake Ginninderra, Canberra International Sports &amp; Aquatic Centre and Westfield Belconnen.<img alt="level-1-11-swanson-court-belconnen-act-2617-99429-image-0-20240416031646057308-thumbnail-1920x1920" class="richtext-image full-width" height="530" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/level-1-11-swanson-court-belconnen-act-2617-99.width-800.png" width="800">Leasing agent <a href="/agents/armin-kashan-3/">Armin Kashan of K Property</a> says while coworking has always been popular with freelancers and startups, more and more established businesses are starting to understand that it comes with huge benefits.“Established businesses are being drawn to the collaboration, innovation and productivity that coworking spaces can offer,” Armin says.“You’re essentially sharing a space with people from different industries and backgrounds, which is perfect for knowledge sharing and networking.”The facilities at JAGA include a professionally-staffed reception area, a fully equipped kitchen, meeting rooms and a Wellness Studio.<img alt="level-1-11-swanson-court-belconnen-act-2617-99429-image-0-20240416031640880795-thumbnail-1920x1920" class="richtext-image full-width" height="523" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/level-1-11-swanson-court-belconnen-act-2617-99.width-800_CAJ1Ng7.png" width="800">And because you’re sharing facilities with other professionals the cost comes right down, Armin says.“When you sign a traditional office lease you’re looking at a long-term commitment, a significant upfront investment and ongoing costs for things like high-speed internet, office furniture, utilities, and cleaning services,” he says.“All of this stress is eliminated with coworking.”There are some unexpected benefits of coworking too.“Just being in the presence of other motivated people can boost productivity and creativity,” Armin says.<img alt="Screen Shot 2024-06-13 at 10.11.58 am" class="richtext-image full-width" height="524" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/Screen_Shot_2024-06-13_at_10.11.58_am.width-800.png" width="800">“A coworking space is often more dynamic and stimulating than a home office or a traditional corporate setting. There’s a real focus on design and function at JAGA, which helps with motivation and focus.”JAGA currently has eight offices for lease, ranging from an office for two workstation desks (7.5sqm) to larger spaces for 31 workstation desks (102sqm).<a href="https://zango.com.au/rent/level-1-11-swanson-court-belconnen-act-2617-99429/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">View the listing</a> or call Armin Kashan on 0423 319 397.
