Icon House: Award-winning 5-bedroom luxury estate in Deakin

Last year, this Deakin home was crowned ACT Home of the Year, and you certainly don’t have to look hard to see why.

The residence sits elevated on the hillside, making the most of panoramic views stretching from the Brindabellas to Parliament House. Spanning more than 600 square metres across three levels, it’s crystal clear that every detail has been considered, from the commercial-grade lift connecting each floor to the cantilevered architecture that gives it such a commanding presence.

Natural stone and walnut joinery carry the tone throughout. The showpiece kitchen is wrapped in extensive marble, extending across the oversized island and splashback, while integrated appliances and a full butler’s pantry ensure it’s every bit as practical as it is beautiful. A three-sided marble fireplace anchors the main living space, with walls of glass opening onto expansive entertaining terraces with stretching views.

Every single bedroom is its own sanctuary. The elevated main-bedroom suite features a skylit dressing room, make-up station and a luxurious en suite. Three additional bedrooms include their own en suite, skylight and space for a study, while a separate guest wing, cinema, gym and multiple living spaces provide flexibility for growing or multigenerational families.

Outside, the luxury continues with a heated mineral pool and spa, a cedar sauna, a resort-style cabana with a built-in barbecue, and a sunken fire pit that might just be Canberra’s best spot to watch the sun go down.

What the agent says

“The sheer scale and consistency of the high-quality detail, combined with the level of amenity, make this home exceptionally rare. It is the perfect collaboration of architecture and nature.” Josh Morrissey, Hive Property
