It’s fast-growing, jam-packed with amenities and only 10 minutes from the ACT border. Googong is the fringe suburb that Canberrans are happy to claim as their own.
Now, there is even more of an opportunity to own a piece of the pie with the town’s newest development – MIO.
Located at the entrance to Googong, MIO will stand out with its contemporary facade encompassing stylish interiors defined by high ceilings, generous living areas and quality finishes throughout.
It’s the kind of quality that can be expected when you get a powerhouse team together to bring the vision to life. Base Developments, Milin Builders, DNA Architects, and LB Design have all worked tirelessly to create homes that prioritise space and sustainability.
“Mio is a perfect response to this key location at the gateway to Googong. Multiple living topologies [will help to] form a cohesive village community,” says DNA Architects’ Enzo D’Ambrogio.
The multilevel townhomes – in two, three and four-bedroom options – have been designed with expansive floor plans, wide frontages and extensive storage.
According to LJ Hooker Project marketing development manager Keenan Veraar, this versatility of design will be a key part of the development’s attraction.
“The team wanted to create a place that would appeal to all buyer types, so the homes range from generously-sized two-bedroom townhouses right through to larger builds,” he says. “Many have double frontages, and all come with side-by-side double or even triple garages.”
Drawing inspiration from the local landscape, the interiors will feature soft, earthy tones. Buyers can choose between two distinct finish options. Inclusions range from engineered timber flooring to stone benchtops in the kitchen, walk-in wardrobes and full-height tiling in the bathrooms.
Future residents will also benefit from shared landscape spaces, encouraging the community to spark and grow.
However, Veraar says MIO’s pricing is very competitive for such a quality build, and it will no doubt be an enticing prospect for those contemplating a move from Canberra.
“The two-bedroom townhouses range from $725,000 to $749,900 and the three-bedroom options range from $795,000 to $845,000,” he says, adding 60 per cent of the townhouses on offer have already sold. “The four-bedroom homes are priced between $865,000 and $899,900.”
Staying true to Googong’s commitment to being a five-star Green Star community, MIO prioritises sustainability through the incorporation of double-glazed windows, shared electric vehicle charging, recycled grey water to toilets and gardens, and a site-wide solar system.
Potential buyers won’t need to wait long to officially be a “Googonian” either: construction on the development is close to completion, and is set to be ready towards the end of this year.
Eventually, five connected neighbourhoods, with schools, shops, parks, and businesses, will form Googong, and MIO will be located only 300 metres from the new town centre.
