Solar-passive house among the first properties built in Gleneagles

After 20 years in peaceful Gleneagles, Steve and Joanne Scott are selling their four-bedroom family home.

They were among the first residents of the estate and built the solar-passive home on the 851-square-metre block.

“I designed it myself to enhance the winter sun and keep the sun at bay,” Steve says.

There’s lots of north-facing glass, which brings the outside in.”

The four-bedroom house includes three separate living areas, including an open-plan family room flowing from the kitchen, a formal split-level lounge room with picture windows, as well as a rumpus room.

An alfresco space area off the family room makes it an ideal entertainer.

“We really love it,” Steve says.

“We’re only selling it for two reasons: first that we’re moving out of Canberra to retire and secondly because the house is far too big for us.”

Just a minute’s walk to the sixth fairway of the Murrumbidgee Golf Course, the home enjoys a semi-rural setting.

The estate provides easy access to Drakeford Drive, leading to the city, Tuggeranong and Woden.
