Rare Hall village auction: Luxury Canadian-chalet estate with private soccer pitch

Just when you thought you’d seen it all, along comes a home with its own private soccer pitch.

While that’s sure to kick goals with fans of Grand Designs, the pitch is merely the opening whistle for the sophisticated game being played at this luxurious residence.

The scoreboard keeps ticking over across a sprawling 2029-square-metre block in one of the village’s most tightly held pockets. That expansive footprint is defined by the easy charm of an original Canadian-style chalet, which has been sympathetically modernised and seamlessly integrated into a meticulously crafted owner-built extension.

The result is a massive living space of more than 400 square metres that delivers its scale with genuine style. Bluestone feature walls, soaring timber-lined ceilings, and extensive glazing are anchored by a lineup of amenities that make the most of living in Hall.

Nick Paine of Momentum Property says a property like this is completely at home in its setting, while offering a sense of country living within easy access to the CBDs of Gungahlin and Canberra.

“The ideas expressed inside the home and in the development of the overall block could only work on a larger scale,” he says. “The owner has successfully expressed that in just about every square centimetre available.”

Inside, the original Canadian chalet forms a private wing with its own lounge, kitchen, bedroom, en suite, raised study area, an office with separate access and a dedicated car space. It also includes a gym and a home cinema. Two of these spaces could easily become extra bedrooms.

A stone-and-glass-lined entry foyer serves as a bridge between eras, leading into the extended residence, where the main living spaces and bedrooms are located. Here, soaring timber-lined ceilings continue the architectural narrative established in the chalet.

The star of the show is the kitchen, with its stone benchtops, a built-in PITT gas cooktop, brand-name appliances, and an integrated dishwasher. This is supported by a concealed walk-in pantry that includes a built-in coffee machine, ovens, and a glass-featured wine room.

Paine says a consistent theme throughout the home has been the owner’s unwavering focus on high-quality materials and meticulous craftsmanship.

“The bluestone feature walls at the entrance are a perfect example – they have been painstakingly assembled, stone by stone, by experienced masons,” he says.

There is no shortage of home extras, including an app-controlled heating and cooling system, automatic blinds and a ducted vacuum system. A 20-kilowatt rooftop solar system provides more power and helps reduce energy costs.

The home’s accommodation extends to a dedicated wing with four bedrooms. At its heart is the primary suite, designed for indulgence, featuring a wraparound walk-in wardrobe, a resort-style en suite with a spa bath, and a striking feature atrium that seamlessly brings the outside in.

The sense of sanctuary continues outdoors, with a resort-style pool equipped with a heat pump, integrated lighting, and a built-in roller blanket. This leisure space is thoughtfully serviced by its own en suite and storage room.

The al fresco entertaining area is packed with features, including skylights, electric heating, a ceiling fan, and a fully equipped kitchen. That flows into a welcoming sunken lounge with a fireplace and a wall-mounted television.

And, of course, there is that 10 metre by 13 metre synthetic soccer pitch – perhaps a ground that could inspire the next generation of national players?

The garden landscaping is immaculate and features iconic Canberra red bricks and a combination of real and synthetic lawns, while there’s garaging for three vehicles with extra space for workbenches and storage. Plus, a rear laneway access with an electric gate for added privacy and convenience.

Paine says the amenity delivered in this home thoroughly complements its Hall location.

“Once you’re home – there’s little reason to leave. You have all the amenity, recreational and entertaining opportunities you could possibly need,” he says.
