Strathnairn is a suburb for the future. Holding the title of Canberra’s most sustainable suburb, it’s the first of four set for Ginninderry, a place where sustainability, design, construction and innovation are pulled together to create a world-class community.
Let me paint you a picture. The mighty Murrumbidgee River sits on one boundary, and stunning Ginninderra Creek on another, while the Brindabella mountain ranges provide a majestic backdrop.
Tree-lined streets connect pedestrians, cyclists, public transport, and cars to local facilities, like future schools and shops, open spaces, and even a community garden. There’s an arts precinct, neighbourhood parks, and a network of walking trails that hero the Ginninderry conservation corridor.
Ginninderry is a truly inspiring place to live and around 1500 residents are lucky enough to call it home, with around another 28,500 set to settle in between now and its completion in about 30 years’ time.
Thankfully, you can access this impressive area much sooner – as soon as the end of this year, in fact.
Introducing The Lazenby – a boutique development of 12 two-bedroom townhouses built and developed by The Fleming Group. With construction already nearing completion, settlement is anticipated for the third quarter of this year.
“The Lazenby provides low-maintenance living with an abundant pristine nature reserve on your doorstep while enjoying the convenience of being located 10 minutes from Belconnen Town Centre and just 15 minutes from Canberra City,” says agent Daniel Beames of Blackshaw Projects.
Open-plan kitchen, living and dining spaces flow out onto private courtyards. There are ample indoor-outdoor living opportunities, but in this area, you don’t need much when parks and nature reserves are just a stone’s throw away, drawing you outside for a game of Frisbee with your four-legged friend.
Back inside the home and stone benchtops and custom cabinetry in the kitchen, engineered timber floors in the downstairs living areas and full-height tiling in the bathrooms are all standard inclusions. These homes aren’t trying to attract your attention with all the bells and whistles, they’re simply good quality, no fuss and built with longevity in mind.
“All properties are extremely energy efficient, open plan and low maintenance,” says Beames.
“Being part of Ginninderry … all properties need to have solar and meet certain energy efficiency ratings, which is really appealing. We have a large range of people looking in the area and at this development in particular, from first-home buyers to downsizers from the surrounding areas.”
And while there are so many amenities on the cards for Ginninderry in the future, residents will still be able to access an abundance of existing conveniences like the Magpies Golf Club, which is within walking distance, and the Kippax Shopping Centre, which is a quick drive up the road.
