Four homes for sale in Canberra and Burra right now

The world feels incredibly heavy right now. At times, it feels almost unbelievable that we’re expected to carry on with the business of everyday life among a pandemic, floods and the impending threat of war. It’s overwhelming, to say the least.

Editing the magazine and picking out my top pick’s this week has been especially soothing, however, and I hope that reading it provides the same sense of relief for you.

I encourage you, just for an hour so, to switch off the news, boil the kettle and settle down with a cuppa in a quiet spot somewhere to lose yourself in our top picks. Whether you find yourself a new home or just a moment of indulgent peace and quiet, there’s plenty of goodness to be enjoyed.

Burra

View property

This beautiful country home has rustic features like spotted gum floors, a wood fireplace and an expansive entertainer’s kitchen with a walk-in pantry, but it’s the vistas that really steal the show.

The 270-degree views across the Burra Valley to the mountains beyond are maximised by the use of plenty of windows, glass doors and a deck that wraps around from the front of the home to the undercover entertaining area.

Here, you’ll find a full outdoor kitchen complete with a built-in barbecue, a pizza oven and a wood cooker – and plenty of space to entertain the guests drawn to your rural oasis.

The bedrooms are located on the second and third floor with a study nook on each floor, convenient for those working from home. The master bedroom also has a Juliet balcony.

Only moments from bustling Lonsdale Street, this home offers the best of city living.

Kingston

View property

The apartment at number 201/45 Honeysett View is modern living at its finest. Poised over Kingston Harbour on the Foreshore, the home boasts some of Lake Burley Griffin’s best views.

Clean lines, light-filled living areas, chic finishes and an abundance of storage options encourage luxurious yet minimalist living. 

There’s no reason for clutter, especially when you have three bedrooms, three bathrooms and an enormous walk-in wardrobe in the main bedroom for dispersing your belongings. 

The entertainer’s kitchen is well-equipped to host regular dinner parties, which is fortunate because, in this location (and with these vistas), your friends will be coming around often. And like Basecamp to Everest, this home is the perfect footing from which to enjoy a night out in south and central Canberra’s bustling hospitality scene. 

Price guide: $2 million-$3 million
