New homes: Denman Prospect

WHO LIVES HERE Upon completion, Denman Prospect will be home to about 2000 dwellings. Almost 300 standard residential blocks have sold and builders have purchased nine multi-unit sites and packaged lots. The housing mix is expected to attract a variety of residents.

Denman Prospect’s picturesque landscape within moments from the city has positioned the suburb as one of Canberra’s future prestige neighbourhoods.

About 25 per cent of buyers at the first land release in October were builders, with some snapping up two or three blocks each at the sell-out auction.

The house and land packages have started to emerge on the market and contemporary designs hovering around the million-dollar mark dominate the current listings.

This architect-designed home by Classic Constructions is an example of the high calibre of properties available in the Molonglo Valley suburb.

The company’s display home (pictured) is in Googong and provides a glimpse at some of the features that buyers can expect from its Denman Prospect offerings.

The company selected the elevated 540 square metre block with a great northern orientation and designed a tranquil home that will sit beautifully among its surrounds.

It will feature an open-plan living area in the heart of the home alongside a gourmet kitchen complete with Miele appliances, stone bench tops and a walk-in pantry.

There are four bedrooms and the master suite is segregated with a walk-in wardrobe and lavish en suite.

The home has been designed to offer seamless indoor/outdoor entertaining, with a covered alfresco area flowing off the open-plan living space.

Classic Constructions new homes consultant Peter Stewart says the company has a range of other house and land packages available in Denman Prospect and it is also building an impressive display home in the suburb.

“We are working on some beautiful custom homes for clients at the moment, one of these is on a significantly sloping site, with a tricky north orientation, and the design will capture some amazing views across Canberra while still getting clever access to the north sun,” Stewart says.

“Another double-storey design for a different client focuses on energy efficiency and is designed to maximise the north sun.”

Denman Prospect project director Nick McDonald Crowley says the suburb’s first residents are due to move in before the end of the year.

FEATURES WE LOVE

Denman Prospect’s elevated position captures magnificent views. It’s also surprisingly central with the city, Belconnen and Woden all within a 10-minute drive.

THE PROJECT DIRECTOR SAYS

“The location of Denman Prospect, including the Arboretum in the ‘front yard’ and the Stromlo Forest Park in the ‘backyard’, plus magnificent views back to the city and beyond to the Brindabellas is proving highly attractive.”  Nick McDonald Crowley.
