Note from the editor

Deciding on when to sell your property is never an easy call. You could opt for spring, the most popular time to go on the market, or take a chance on a quieter season. Then there are disruptions like long weekends, school holidays or even a federal election to consider. But, interestingly, Domain research shows the connection between political events and housing trends is misunderstood. If you’re intending to auction your home soon, the election needn’t ring alarm bells. They don’t directly slow down property transactions, nor do auctions underperform on election day. It seems we allow enough time to vote, eat a democracy sausage and bid all on the same day!

Making a grand first impression

With its circular driveway, doubleheight windows and imposing portico, the home at 23 Dalman Crescent, O’Malley, was designed to make a grand first impression. Set on an expansive 2055 square metres, there’s no shortage of space – outside or in.

Agent Brett Hayman of Hayman

Partners says the award-winning home is exceptional in both scale and design.

“Whether hosting lavish gatherings or [relaxing], this residence provides an unrivalled lifestyle of sophistication and comfort,” he says.

The palatial main bedroom features a stylish en suite (with underfloor heating), a walk-in wardrobe and its own balcony, while a large guest suite is similarly appointed downstairs. A media room, office and three queensized bedrooms round out the package. Step from the open-plan kitchendining-living area to a tiered terrace (with kitchen and barbecue) and pool. The home has breathtaking views towards Black Mountain and comes with a guide of $3.995 million-plus.

Bold and clever design: It may not seem like it, but Bottega is built entirely above ground for maximum thermal efficiency.

IEngineered to the max

No stone has been left unturned in the vendor’s desire to make this Southern Tablelands property the best it can possibly be.

magine it’s time to go home. You arrive up a winding country road, the sky wide, the stillness immediate. The gates open, and it’s as if you’ve landed at a private luxury resort. Manicured lawns roll out before you – tended not by hand, but by automated mowers.

A glimmer of pool fence glass rises from an earth like sculpture. A vast home stretches across the landscape, its design hinting at Palm Springs but grounded firmly in the Southern Tablelands.

This is Bottega: a sprawling, luxury four-bedroom retreat that sits only half an hour’s drive from Canberra city, yet feels many worlds away.

And once you’re there, you may not want to leave.

“It’s a lifestyle property, but it’s a destination property,” says listing agent Matthew Anstee.

“You’re turning up and staying there for the enjoyment of the property. For the time you’re there, you’re set up and have everything [you need].”

Just 32 kilometres from Canberra Airport, Bottega feels completely removed from the everyday.

Designed by the current owner, an engineer with a passion for travel, architecture and sustainability, it’s a solar-passive home where luxury meets function – and where no detail has been overlooked.

The bold aesthetics are just the beginning. Beneath the home and across the land lies a complex network of infrastructure that places Bottega firmly in a league of its own.

The house is built entirely above ground – no part of the structure touches the earth – ensuring thermal efficiency is never compromised.

A suspended slab with hydronic underfloor heating, which can run on vegetable or waste oil, keeps the home comfortable across seasons.

The energy supply is completely offgrid, powered by solar and backed up with batteries.

“It’s one of those properties where the level of detail and thought that’s gone into it is above and beyond.” Matthew Anstee

“The owner spent a fair bit of time in Arizona and overseas, looking at architecture, and he has a background as an engineer,” Anstee says. “It’s one of those properties where the level of detail and thought that’s gone into it is above and beyond.”

There are eight kilometres of underground irrigation piping across the 60-hectare property, and a header tank feeding water to troughs. There’s even copper piping at the base of each trough to suppress bacterial growth.

“It’s the little things that you just can’t see that really make you go, ‘wow’,” Anstee says.

Above ground, the home covers over 1000 square metres and has been designed for effortless hosting and multigenerational living – and can be controlled by a smartphone.

One wing houses three bedrooms, a bathroom, separate toilet, kitchenette and living space – ideal for guests or children. At the opposite end is a main-

bedroom suite with a soaring 4.5-metre ceiling, oversized windows and views.

A sun-drenched open-plan living space flows into a sleek kitchen and dining zone. There’s a study, a wine room, and a custom-built theatre offering a true dead-noise experience.

Step outside and the resort feel continues. A heated pool, hot tub, fire pit and entertaining area are finished with the same attention to detail; even the glass pool fencing is embedded in concrete so it “just looks like it’s grown out of the ground”, Anstee says.

A self-contained one-bedroom studio, a nine-bay shed and expansive fullyirrigated lawns round out the picture, set against a backdrop of vineyards, big skies and the peaks of the Brindabellas.

“When you arrive, there is the wow factor, but it feels comfortable [like] it’s a home too,” Anstee says.

This feature is part of an Allhomes Deluxe package.

We’re partnering with Carlotta, Raku and The Boat House to give away 3x $500 restaurant vouchers in a delicious giveaway.

Enjoy effortless family living

There’s a quiet confidence about the facade of 42 Quinane Avenue in Forde. And taking a peek inside, the home has every reason to feel self-assured.

A quick look around the two-storey abode and it’s clear this is a residence designed to take care of its people.

A charcoal brick feature wall leads you in, softening into warm natural textures and a layout that allows everyone space to breathe. There are spaces to enjoy each others’ company and even more spaces to entertain.

A formal lounge and dining area is flooded with natural light from generous feature windows. Keep walking and the kitchen is a statement, fitted with Carrara marble benchtops, custom joinery and a walk-in pantry.

Alongside it, the sunken living area features 3.2-metre ceilings and shadowline cornices.

Upstairs, the main-bedroom suite is set apart both literally and figuratively.

With a private balcony, walk-in dressing room and an en suite finished with marble and premium fixtures, it

“This exceptionally designed modern home has a warm feel, with formal and informal living areas, rumpus room, office and theatre. It ticks many boxes.”

offers a moment of retreat from the rhythm of family life.

Four additional bedrooms, each with individual split systems, ensure comfort for every member of the household, while the fifth bedroom is tucked away on the ground floor.

Also upstairs, the custom theatre room, with acoustic panelling and surround sound, turns movie nights into something cinematic. Outside, Wi-Fi-controlled irrigation, solar hot water and rainwater tanks keep the home running effortlessly.

Forde is known for its natural surroundings and community feel. With Mulligans Flat Reserve, Gungahlin’s town centre and top schools nearby, it’s an in-demand spot for putting down long-term roots.

Country vibe on the border

Our border neighbour of Queanbeyan couldn’t get much closer to Canberra, but there’s no doubt the boundary between the two creates a real sense of separate identities.

Queanbeyan definitely has the feel of a NSW regional town, while just across the divide, everything is, well, capital.

Aaron Papahatzis of Belle Property Queanbeyan, who lists this week’s feature property at 24 Crawford Street, says there is plenty of optimism on his side of the border, especially when it comes to real estate.

“Canberrans are finding plenty to like when they take a closer look at what’s on offer,” he says. “Their budget definitely stretches further in Queanbeyan –and they can find homes with real character like the feature property.”

Papahatzis says the local lifestyle is also a distinctive drawcard for a wide range of people. “Everyone from, say, retiring farmers to Canberrans are attracted to the more relaxed pace,” he says.

Gavin Van Zyl of White Rhino Property says the regional real estate market has really been buzzing.

“There’s a high number of buyers in the market and a lot of confidence,” he says.

“Lifestyle properties on acreages around Googong have been particularly sought-after.”

Van Zyl says he has also seen plenty of interest from Tuggeranong buyers seeking to maximise their budgets.

“There are plenty of options to choose from, and the travel distance to workplaces is often very similar,” he says.

“The country town vibe is also a big drawcard for many who wish to become part of a tight-knit community.”

NEIGHBOURS

Value

Queanbeyan still offers more bang for your buck than its city neighbour. First-home buyers and young families are attracted to the range of options, from apartments to detached homes.

Location

It’s as close to the Canberra CBD as some of the ACT’s outer suburbs, so Queanbeyan is conveniently located to take advantage of city schools, employment and more.

Vibe

Queanbeyan has a regional town appeal with its main street, pubs, markets and riverside location. But there’s nothing regional in its growing infrastructure, including schools and healthcare.

Sitting neatly behind a white fence, this Queanbeyan cutie presents as the kind of character weatherboard home found throughout many parts of Australia. However, appearances can be deceiving. Behind the crisp, traditional exterior that speaks of tea and scones (with jam and cream) is a modern interior that’s more modern cocktails and share plates.

The near-new home has light-filled spaces, soaring ceilings, timber floors, a fireplace and high-end finishes. There’s a Hamptons vibe going on, for sure.

Other features include double-glazed windows and zoned ducted heating and cooling for year-round comfort.

Four spacious bedrooms and a study occupy the front. The main-bedroom suite is a private retreat with a bespoke walk-in wardrobe, a luxe en suite and underfloor heating.

The kitchen has it all: a Quantum Quartz benchtop with a breakfast bar, an AEG induction cooktop, pyrolytic and microwave ovens, and a Miele dishwasher. A concealed pantry provides ample storage.

An artificially intelligent path

AI can be trusted enough for financial advice, the experts say, but not just any large language model like ChatGPT.

It’s all very well asking artificial intelligence (AI) for explanations of simple concepts or assistance with emails or maths problems, but should we also trust it enough for financial advice?

Experts in the field increasingly say “Yes”, pointing out the legal protections in the system to safeguard a brave new world of wiser investments, although advising be cognisant of risk.

“It is possible to use technology to generate financial advice in a way that’s very safe and reliable, but there is the question of how you do that,” says Zein El Hassan, partner – financial services with national law firm Mills Oakley.

“There is a danger in going onto a large language model like ChatGPT and just asking for financial advice that may not be appropriate for you, or based on information that’s out of date or calculations that may be inaccurate.

“But if AI is used together with advice generation engines, like Otivo, that propagate algorithms and calculations using pre-planned materials and a smaller subset of information, that could generate advice you can rely on.”

In addition, if the AI is used to compare real estate investments with shares, super, managed funds and so on, which are financial products, then

“There’s a danger in going onto a language model like ChatGPT [to ask] for financial advice.” Zein El Hassan

the provider of the AI will be subject to financial services laws under the Corporations Act, El Hassan says. Further, any information, guidance or advice concerning real estate must comply with consumer protection laws prohibiting misleading and deceptive conduct.

Otivo, a new AI-powered digital advice tool, built on existing digital tools in use by finance company Colonial First State and vetted by accounting firm KPMG, was launched last month and is currently creating a huge amount of buzz in the industry.

Human-free: Advice generation engines like Otivo are subject to the same legal oversight.

It focuses on strategic decisions, such as whether to pay down debt or invest in new property.

To provide answers, it first asks the user a series of questions about their income and expenses, assets and liabilities, and dreams and aspirations, to make sure it grasps each individual’s circumstances.

Founder and chief executive of Otivo Paul Feeney says: “It then talks about, and rates, various investments for you, while making sure to preserve cash flow.

“For many Australians, this can be an area that’s complicated and confusing, but this provides the tools to make the best of any financial life.”

With the AI sector expected to grow from a $200 billion industry today to

more than $1 trillion by 2030, it also has plenty of other value within the property investment space.

AJ Financial Planning founder Alex Jamieson says, for a start, it can make property searches so much easier, giving you, for instance, a list of suburbs within 10 kilometres of any CBD.

Then you can add accessibility to public transport, growth prospects, upcoming infrastructure or median prices.

“You could delve into the suburbs you might like or other criteria you may find important,” Jamieson says.

“You set the parameters and can ask about stock availability, vacancy rates, anything. You can trial different AI platforms, but often it’s a question of perfecting your questions and prompts to receive the best answers.”

A penthouse at the top of its game

It will be hard to find an address in all of Canberra offering a more iconic view than this luxurious penthouse on Constitution Avenue.

The moment you step from the lift into your private lobby, you’re greeted by an ambience that exudes sophistication.

What unfolds is an expansive floor plan in which space and light abound. Blackframed walls of glass open up the capital’s skyline in every direction, but the interior design is a showstopper in itself.

The stunning open-plan kitchen hits the right notes with super white natural stone benchtops and a centrepiece island contrasted by dark-toned custom joinery and integrated appliances.

This stone also surrounds an elegant two-way gas fireplace that zones the north-facing living spaces.

Unwind in the sanctuary of the main bedroom suite to the rear of the apartment, with a luxe en suite and walk-in wardrobe. Two more bedrooms and bathrooms, plus a separate guest suite, complete this side of the home.

The truly rare offering, however?

A private rooftop terrace spanning 278 square metres that includes an outdoor kitchen, fire pit, bench seating and pergolas. To top it off is an elevated heated pool – perfect for summer parties or a relaxing morning dip.

Three levels of rare opportunity

Sometimes, it takes creativity to find the right selling angle for a commercial property.

This time around, it’s pretty straightforward: a whole building in (“old”) Kingston is for sale for the first time since it was built in 1958.

That in itself tells the story – this type of opportunity in this sought-after InnerSouth precinct just doesn’t happen often.

The Green Square property offers three tenancies over two storeys with 668 square metres of floor space.

The vacant ground-floor unit covers 204 square metres. Upstairs, tenancy two of 130 square metres is leased to an Indian restaurant, while the (also vacant) tenancy three occupies 334 square metres. This top-floor space was occupied by The Social Club and is fitted out as an entertainment venue.

The vacant tenancies are zoned as office spaces or even as “caretaker” residences
