<div class="rich-text"><p><b>One of the best things about the nation’s capital is just how surrounded by nature we are. You could be walking the buzzing strips of Lonsdale Street or the Kingston Foreshore one minute, and less than a 10 minute drive away could see you hiking amongst nature or lapping up natural expanses as far as the eye can see. Want to enjoy Canberra’s natural surrounds every day? Here are four homes for sale on Zango right now where a nature reserve, bush walk or ample greenery is right on your doorstep.</b></p><h4><a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/78-duffy-street-ainslie-act-2602-28585/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b>78 Duffy Street, Ainslie</b></a></h4><p>Ainslie is already a highly coveted suburb, and Duffy Street, which frames the western border of Mount Ainslie Nature Reserve, is one of the suburb’s most tightly held spots. Perched on the high side of Duffy Street is this three bedroom home, which has been owned by the same family for over 50 years. The lovingly renovated home has light-filled living areas and good-sized bedrooms. You can glimpse the leafy surrounds from most of the rooms and even the kitchen sink, or head out to the private rear garden and entertaining area to really lap it up. And it’s just a short walk to join the track to make your way up Mount Ainslie, to be rewarded with what is arguably the best view of the capital.</p><p></p><h4><a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/20-kater-close-macarthur-act-2904-28663/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b>20 Kater Close, Macarthur</b></a></h4><img alt="20 Kater Close MACARTHUR.png" class="richtext-image full-width" height="497" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/20_Kater_Close_MACARTHUR.width-800.png" width="800"><p>Want direct access from your backyard to the neighbouring nature reserve?

It’s architecturally designed, plenty of open living spaces, huge high ceilings, perfectly facing west,” he said.</p><p>“The home also won an award for Best Custom Build back in 2010 through the Master Builders Association, so it&#x27;s certainly a stand out home.”</p><img alt="66 Don Dunstan Drive BONYTHON 2.png" class="richtext-image full-width" height="478" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/66_Don_Dunstan_Drive_BONYTHON_2.width-800.png" width="800"><p>Sitting just across from Pine Island Reserve,<a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/66-don-dunstan-drive-bonython-act-2905-25490/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> the four bedroom, two bathroom home</a> features an abundance of indoor and outdoor living options, including an upstairs parents retreat with exceptional panoramic views.</p><p>Despite being restricted to private inspections due to the cancellation of open homes, Michael said they had a strong response in the short campaign.</p><p>“Inspections were by appointment only and we had just over 30 private inspections in two weeks, so it was quite busy. We dealt with some very serious buyers but someone was particularly interested to move quickly,” he said.</p><p>Michael said the vendors were looking to downsize ahead of a move interstate, while the new owners are an elderly couple that wanted to move closer to their family who live in Gordon.</p><img alt="66 Don Dunstan Drive BONYTHON 3.png" class="richtext-image full-width" height="486" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/66_Don_Dunstan_Drive_BONYTHON_3.width-800.png" width="800"><p>He also believes the strong response shows there’s still confidence in the market, despite the uncertain times.</p><p>“We are dealing with plenty of buyers, there&#x27;s no doubt about it,” he said.</p><p>“The buyers that we&#x27;re dealing with are serious buyers, and they have a genuine reason to be looking and a genuine reason to buy.
