Affordable off-the-plan townhouses in NSW's Googong

Taking its name from the Italian word for mine or belonging to me, MIO is a simple term that can evoke such a strong emotion when it comes to the current property market.

For those looking to get into the market for the first time, it can feel as though having a home that it your very own is a dream quickly slipping through their fingers.

But with developments like MIO on the market, that dream – remarkably – can become a reality once more. And not just any old home either, a home that comes with all the trimmings, bells and whistles you’ve worked so hard for.

“MIO is where you’ll find a home of your own,” says agent Shane McNamee of Ian McNamee & Partners.

“The development is a mix of two, three and four bedroom townhouses on the largest residential site in Googong.”

“There are 116 homes on a block of land that is about 22,000 square metres, so the space for each home is a lot more than you’d normally expect in similar residential developments, especially in Googong when there is a lot more density.”

Located at the gateway to Googong, MIO is developed and built by Base Developments and Milin Builders, and designed by the highly awarded DNA Architects with interiors designed by LB Design Studio.

The homes have been crafted with contemporary facades and quality finishes.

“Varied roof pitches allow for high ceilings, varied exterior materials provide an individual touch to each block, and high levels of finish ensure MIO will be as impressive on the inside as it is on the outside,” says McNamee.

The facade on the main road is particularly striking with an expanded metal mesh, that looks as though it is folded to form parallel pleats that command the street front.

“Situated in such a prominent spot, it was imperative to create something that had a unique presence from the street, but that also created some form of privacy,” says McNamee.

Unique, cleverly designed floor plans by DNA Architects offer alternatives for multiple buyer demographics – from first-home buyers through to families.

There are three or four-bedroom terrace houses with wide frontages, or two bedroom townhouses with the rarity of side-by-side double or triple lock-up garages.

“Some of the garages even offer internal access to the unit, which is very unusual as it’s quite a costly feature for these types of developments,” says McNamee.

As should be expected in all new developments, MIO is a future focused community with numerous sustainability initiatives in place, including double-glazing, solar and grey water recycling.

The townhouses are arranged around an expansive private communal area encouraging neighbours to meet and play. Walkways connect MIO to Googong Central’s commercial precinct and to the local recreation parks and playgrounds.

This location is within walking distance of the new $44 million main town centre under construction, which will include a supermarket, medical centre, gym, library, community centre, council shopfront and 25 other shops, including cafes and restaurants.

Construction has commenced with completion expected in mid-2025.
