House hunting in the ACT? We’ve rounded up the must-see Canberra properties open for inspection this weekend. Click to view our top picks!

Just when you think you’ve seen all the bells and whistles the Canberra property market has to offer, here comes a house with a basketball court in the backyard. When you’re not shooting hoops, you can be relaxing in one of three separate living areas or cooking up a storm in the designer kitchen. In the heart of rapidly growing Whitlam, new schools and shops are slated to open nearby in 2027.

This brand-new duplex promises style, space and convenience less than 20 minutes from the Parliamentary Triangle. A double-height ceiling floods the entryway and lounge room with natural light, while the kitchen and dining area open out onto a covered al fresco space. The main bedroom is set at the back of the ground level, creating a secluded retreat with direct access to the low-maintenance garden. Built-in wardrobes, storage and a study nook keep things organised.

With a blue-chip address, a large block and a prime position at the foot of Mount Ainslie, this is the Canberra home your family has been waiting for. A unique layout creates interesting angles to let the light in and quiet corners for downtime. Established gardens, extensive paving and covered areas make outdoor entertaining a breeze. There’s also plenty of opportunity to upgrade or extend and create your dream home.

This modern apartment is impressive from every aspect. Part of the award-winning The Estate development, it’s just a kilometre from Parliament House – you can even see the flag from your window. It offers 213 square metres of internal living space, 46 square metres of balcony and secure parking for four vehicles. The kitchen is a showstopper, with Gaggenau appliances, including a double pyrolytic oven, bespoke joinery, stone benchtops and a Vintec wine fridge.
You’re spoilt for space here in O’Connor. This new architect-designed home spans 339 square metres across two levels, with multiple living areas, dedicated storage and an oversized butler’s pantry. A studio space has a kitchenette, external access, and a spacious guest suite ideal for visitors or multigenerational living. Custom joinery, Miele appliances, water filtration, designer tiles and a CCTV security system make it a cut above.
