Country retreat full of character At first glance, there’s something distinctly Swiss Family Robinson about 314 Fernleigh Drive in Googong. This custom-built stone and timber house is one of a kind.

There are five bedrooms and three bathrooms, each with its own unique style and features – like the bathroom that juts off the side of the building.

The built-in bar in the sitting room opposite the wood fire will become your favourite space to gather.

A separate self-contained studio is connected to the main house by an outdoor walkway, and there are extra loft rooms above the two huge garages.

Outside, a choice of decks offers space to relax or entertain, while the 4.63-hectare block has a dependable water supply and irrigated greenhouse.

The property offers a combination of rustic elegance, flexible family living, extensive infrastructure and modern comfort, says agent Brad O’Mara of Ray White Queanbeyan/Jerrabomberra.

The private sale has a price guide of $1.85 million.

DREAM HOMES Words by Kate Farrelly

Luxury with a lighter footprint Designed by MyMyMy Architecture and built by MegaFlora Group, Ochre House in Sutton, NSW, balances sustainability with liveability while taking its inspiration from farm outbuildings.

A joy to live in: The vendors are reluctantly parting with the award-winning Ochre House in Sutton, north-east of Canberra.

home can win a whole swag of awards and generate a truckload of publicity – and Ochre House has certainly done that – but ultimately, its merit comes down to its liveability.

Owner Kari Pahlman and her husband Tom Sautelle are clearly enamoured with the sustainable house in Sutton, a small Southern Tablelands village north-east of Canberra, describing it as a joy to live in, but an interstate move has forced its sale.

“If I could pick up the house, I would absolutely move it,” Pahlman says.

When the couple were looking to build on their bush block, they were keen to keep the footprint small and be as light on the landscape as possible.

They discovered MyMyMy Architecture and MegaFlora Group during Design Canberra open-home events, and engaged architect Mark Brook and builder Daniel Fitzpatrick to create their new home.

The H-shaped floor plan has two pavilions connected by a central entry zone, one for living, the other for sleeping and bathing.

Clad in an earthy shade of red Colorbond, the house takes inspiration from farm outbuildings but with far more attention to detail than your average shed.

“It’s been like a treasure hunt in the years we’ve lived here in terms of

“This is one of those homes that make you forget about the outside world ... it has such a sense of calm.” Theo Koutsikamanis

showering under the stars, while in the living room, a red-and-gold stainedglass sliding door acts as both a partition and an artwork.

Double-glazed windows frame views of the surrounding sclerophyll forest and regularly dish up cameos from the local wildlife.

“There are days I would see the little swamp wallabies or the kingfishers before I’d even got out of bed,” Pahlman says. “This kind of bush aspect is not easy to find this close to Canberra.”

Pahlman says the home has been a wonderful retreat. “It’s such a welcoming and relaxing home, very low maintenance,” she says. “Hopefully it finds someone who can treasure it as much as we have.”

Agent Theo Koutsikamanis agrees: “I’ve walked through this house five times since I’ve listed the home, and I’m always seeing something different.

Everything’s been made by hand.”

He says the architect and builder have a cult following built on their design philosophy and quality of execution.

Inside Ochre House, the pair have used a restrained material palette of untreated grey ironbark, burnished concrete floors, custom light fittings and a terrazzotopped kitchen island.

The bathrooms feature partially glazed ceilings, creating the experience of

omes are always evolving, not just in how they look, inside and out, but in the purposes they need to serve.

Sure, they provide a comfortable lifestyle setting for core demographics such as working singles and couples, families and retirees, but not everyone fits neatly into those categories.

Today’s homes increasingly need to accommodate intergenerational families and adult children staying at home longer due to higher entry costs.

They must also support ageing home owners seeking independence and people with disability who require thoughtful, purpose-built design.

At 6 Palmer Street in Hall, a property on more than 2000 square metres could easily be described as a family compound capable of housing three generations.

The expansive home combines a fully renovated Canadian chalet with a substantial owner-built extension, creating two distinct yet connected residences, each with its own kitchen, living zones and private amenities.

Six bedrooms and three bathrooms underscore its versatility.

Nick Paine of Momentum Property, who lists the property in the historic ACT village, says intergenerational living makes a lot of sense for many people in the current environment.

“There can be a lot of advantages for extended families living together under the same roof,” he says.

“These can include cost-sharing, providing care for older relatives, or grandparents helping ease the load on working parents.”

A different opportunity is presented at 25 Taylor Place, Greenleigh, where a large home set on nearly 4400 square metres feels like a private retreat. The six-bedroom, three-bathroom residence offers 450 square metres of living space and comes with DA approval for a second dwelling; a granny-flat option.

While the main home’s generous proportions provide plenty of flexibility for family and guests, an additional

living space offers the potential to be designed around specific lifestyle or accessibility needs.

At 35 Dash Crescent, Fadden, a dualoccupancy arrangement offers another take on adaptable living. Across the two dwellings, there are five bedrooms and three bathrooms on a 738-squaremetre block.

The rear home has been purposedesigned for independent living for a person with disability, while the front

residence is wheelchair accessible and could accommodate a full-time carer.

Stephen Thompson of LJ Hooker Manuka, who lists the property, says the combination will appeal to people wanting to live independently while ageing or living with disability.

“It’s rare to see this kind of option, particularly with spaces designed for purpose,” he says.

“For example, the rear dwelling offers a height-adjustable work surface,

wheelchair clearance beneath and easyreach appliances.”

Thoughtful design is often central to creating homes that can evolve.

Architects Wendy Christie and Claire Reece of Sonder Architects believe the best outcome begins with a tight brief and an understanding of client needs.

Earlier this year, they completed a home that had to meet intergenerational and ageing-in-place requirements.

“It had to serve current needs and be future-proofed to allow the owners to continue living as independently as possible later in life,” Christie says.

“The solution comprised three pavilions: one for guests and family, another for the central communal family spaces, and a third as a retreat.”

This approach provided privacy for each group while also creating opportunities to connect.

“It was important to get the balance right between those two needs,” Reece says.

“There was also innovation built into rooms that could serve multiple purposes. Essentially, they could expand and contract, like a study that could instantly become an additional bedroom when a guest arrives.”

or many Hume Highway travellers, Goulburn is a place glimpsed through a car window somewhere between Sydney and Canberra.

Yet those who pull over soon discover a city that delivers far more than a convenient pit stop beneath the Big Merino – one defined by grand heritage architecture, country hospitality and the kind of breathing room many city dwellers are now actively seeking.

“Goulburn offers the space, community and lifestyle people dream about, with the convenience and connectivity to make it a practical place to call home,” says Justin Gay of Ray White Goulburn.

As more buyers seek space and a slower pace, Goulburn has found itself wellplaced to meet the demand for larger blocks and dedicated home offices.

But while the real estate may draw people in, it’s the fact that it still feels like a town where people support one another that encourages them to stay.

One local who sees that firsthand is Sally Nelson, owner of Valerie’s Sunroom, a cafe in the Gehl Garden Centre on the banks of the Wollondilly River.

“People take pride in supporting local businesses here,” she says.

“I think welcoming cafes play a very important role in regional towns. They’re often the places where community happens naturally – where friends catch up, business groups gather, and visitors get a feel for the personality of a town.”

See & do

Eat & drink

One of Goulburn’s greatest luxuries is space – and the time to enjoy it. Locals can cycle pathways or walk along the four-kilometre Wollondilly River Walkway before settling in for a picnic by the water. On Saturdays, Belmore Park and the Rotary Parkside Markets offer a chance to slow down.

For a glimpse into the city’s past, the Goulburn Historic Waterworks Museum celebrates its industrial heritage and, each October, becomes home to the Steampunk fair.

Goulburn’s wide streets and historic facades provide the backdrop to a diverse food scene. The Roses Cafe remains a popular spot for a leisurely catch-up, while Valerie’s Sunroom dishes up a lovely garden setting.

Paragon Cafe remains one of Australia’s few surviving classic Greek cafes. Goulburn Brewery pours locally crafted beers, while the Southern Railway Hotel and Goulburn Chinese Restaurant continue to prove that some places never go out of style.

t the upper end of the property market, buyers can afford to take their time – but this Narrabundah house needed just 14 days to secure its latest owner.

The award-winning home at 104 Captain Cook Crescent sold for $2.6 million, just three months after it last changed hands for $2.525 million.

Hive Property selling agent Josh Morrissey says the result was particularly

notable given the volume of prestige property currently competing for buyers.

“There are circa 60 properties in the south that are north of $2 million,” he says. “Getting a result like that in a market that’s pretty saturated in that price point was a good result.”

Known as The Kew, the four-bedroom house was built as a display home by Classic Constructions and won both the 2017 HIA ACT & Southern NSW home

“It’s a really well-built, welldesigned, turnkey, northfacing home that would be particularly difficult to replicate these days.”

of the year and display home of the year awards.

Its sculptural design makes the most of its northerly orientation through extensive glazing and skylights that draw in natural light.

The interiors feature pietra marble, blackbutt timber, bespoke cabinetry and a statement kitchen.

There’s also a dedicated cinema, home automation, underfloor heating, a Tesla Powerwall and an outdoor kitchen.

The home was already familiar to much of the buyer pool, with Morrissey estimating about 90 per cent of those showing interest had also followed its previous campaign.

The eventual buyer had spotted the property online the last time, and moved quickly when it returned to market.

Morrissey says its combination of design, build quality and lowmaintenance living made it stand out among competing listings.

“When you’re buying from a builder, and it’s a public display home, you’re getting the best of their craftsmanship,” he says.

The grounds accommodate a full-sized tennis court & swimming pool, while the existing circa-1929 residence is immediately liveable. Both Grammar Schools, Forrest Primary School, Manuka, the Parliamentary Triangle & Canberra's finest amenities are within easy reach. This holding presents an opportunity to implement the government's 'missing middle' policy which allows for subdivision of the block. Redevelopment potential is subject to relevant legislation, policies, approvals & other requirements. EER 0.0

BIG ON SPACE. BIG ON SUNSHINE. VERY AINSLIE.

42 Hawdon Street, Ainslie

This is what happens when a classic Ainslie workers cottage grows up - and gets seriously good at family living. Behind its charming cottage beginnings, 42 Hawdon Street unfolds into a wonderfully spacious, sun-filled home with four bedrooms, three bathrooms, multiple living zones and leafy garden views at almost every turn. There's space to come together, space to spread out and, importantly, space to escape each other when required! Beautiful timber floorboards bring warmth and character, natural light pours through the home, and the green garden outlook gives everything a relaxed, almost tucked-away feel.

COMMERCIAL Words by Ray Sparvell

A landmark pub ready for its next round

I

t’s one of those recurring fantasies many people have: what would it be like to own a pub?

Now there’s a chance to turn that dream into reality in Adelong, a gateway town to the Snowy Mountains about two hours from Canberra.

The Royal Hotel sits on more than 2000 square metres on a prominent site on the Snowy Mountains Highway, just 30 minutes from the Hume Highway.

The pub was built in the 1850s by a Scottish immigrant businessman during the gold rush and was originally called The Rising Moon. It has been rebuilt, renamed and restored several times throughout its 170-year history.

It made national headlines in 2005 when it was nearly destroyed by a B-double truck, an event that prompted further repairs and restoration work.

Known locally as “the top pub”, the property now comprises a spacious

bar, a bistro, eight guest rooms and a manager’s residence.

Dan McDonald of McDonald Hospitality Brokers says the hotel represents an attractive freehold and business opportunity.

“It offers strong income streams from bar sales, bistro meals and guest

accommodation,” he says. “There’s also an opportunity for an owner-occupier to further grow the business through increased trading hours and promotion of the accommodation.”

McDonald says there is also scope to add cabins to the landholding, subject to approval.
