Rugby legend George Gregan’s Canberra roots: Beloved Kambah family home hits the market

The childhood home of Wallabies legend George Gregan has hit Canberra’s property market for the first time in nearly half a century. 

The two-storey residence at 12 Inkster Street, Kambah, served as the launching pad for one of rugby union’s greatest players, but to the Gregan family, it was simply the heart of their “pioneer” years in the Tuggeranong region.

The Gregans moved into the home in late 1976 when George was just three years old. It remained his base throughout his schooling and time at the University of Canberra and the Australian Institute of Sport, before he moved out to pursue a professional rugby career.

“My parents, brother, sister and I were all early pioneers in Kambah,” Gregan says.

“I had a fantastic childhood here. As a kid, I’d ride my bike to school at St Thomas, play backyard cricket with mates and rugby league with the Buffalos. I learnt tennis on the courts near the Kambah Woolshed and had plenty of adventures on Mount Taylor.”

Located within close proximity to local schools, Kambah Village and the Kambah Adventure Park, the meticulously maintained home presents as a blank canvas. With its solid bones, it offers an ideal foundation for a contemporary renovation, allowing a new family to add their own style and modern upgrades.

The practical layout features three bedrooms, plus a study, and multiple living areas. The main-bedroom suite is segregated on the upper floor and comes complete with an en suite and a walk-in wardrobe.

Modern comfort has been ensured with ducted gas heating, a Ventis system, and a newly installed split-system air-conditioner upstairs. Energy-efficient upgrades include double-glazed upstairs windows and downstairs sliding doors to ensure year-round liveability.

A covered timber deck overlooks an expansive backyard featuring paved seating areas, established gardens and a vegetable patch.

Gregan says his parents are ready to downsize after 50 years, but emphasises the property’s enduring appeal. 

“I’m sure the next family will appreciate this home, its views of the Brindabellas and all that Kambah has to offer,” he says.
