Buyer demand for new blocks in Denman Prospect

Anyone lucky enough to be a current resident of Denman Prospect knows just how good life can be living in the suburb.

Now, with the Denman North, that lifestyle will be available to even more Canberrans.

As the name suggests, Denman North sits to the north of Denman Village, the suburb’s local shopping centre, over the Holborow Avenue bridge and towards the Molonglo River.

Blocks of land are already for sale, and a few eager residents have already settled in, marking the start of another highly esteemed project from Capital Property Group.

Patricia Hepburn of Capital Estate Developments (the subsidiary of Capital Property Group developing the estate) says the new blocks are in high demand.

“The advantage of buying in a suburb owned by a private developer such as Capital Property Group is that there is a very strong emphasis on high quality,” she says.

“That applies to everything from buildings, landscaping and sustainability to residential amenity for the people who live here, such as parks and playgrounds.”

Denman Prospect employs five full-time groundskeepers and horticulturalists who take ownership of the presentation of the suburb.

They mow, pick up litter, and water and trim trees in order to maintain the suburb’s highly manicured but natural aesthetic.

The developers aspire to ensure that the Molonglo Valley suburb matches the surrounding bushland and nature reserves, and that consistent and sympathetic house designs help retain property values.

“There are building guidelines that stipulate the look and feel of the homes here,” Hepburn says. “For example, fencing needs to be a hardwood paling fence, and retaining walls need to be quarried stone.”

A focus on nature is a high priority in the suburb’s master plan, which includes the Cravens Creek Cultural Trail.

There will be 10 heritage nodes that residents and visitors can learn from as they walk along the trail, which runs from Cravens Creek up to Butters Bridge.

The trail will be extended into Stromlo Reach as development continues.

Hepburn says that not only does the suburb look good, but it also has a wide range of amenities available to residents, and regular events (such as Christmas in the Park or Easter egg hunts) contribute to the close-knit and active community feel.

“Denman Village Shops has a pub, cafe, bar, gym and supermarket, as well as health services, from a dentist and chemist to a medical centre,” she says.

“Nearby, there is also the Stromlo Leisure Centre and Stromlo Forest Park.”

To those on the outside, Denman Prospect might seem like a highly exclusive club but the reality is, anyone can join.

A display village for Denman North is located at 9 Romano Street, and is open 10am-4pm every day.
