So many activities: sports enthusiasts’ paradise with 10-metre high climbing wall, basketball and squash – realestate.com.au

This four-bedroom family home not only makes a statement, but also features a basketball and tennis court, an indoor squash court, a climbing wall plus an ice pool and sauna.

A haven for families who love sports and outdoor adventures, this contemporary barn-style home has already received hundreds of inquiries in its first week on the market.

Set on over 10 hectares just half an hour south of Canberra, this four-bedroom, three-bathroom home is surrounded by pristine bushland and lakes, with private access to 100 hectares of community land, perfect for walking, cycling and camping.

But that’s only half of it. The real showstoppers are at 89 Mount Pleasant Drive, Googong itself.

You can shoot hoops or rally on a large basketball and tennis court, burn some calories on the indoor squash court or in the gym, climb the 10-meter high climbing wall or go to the skate park.

Seller Steve Croft bought the empty plot of subdivided farmland seven years ago with the vision of creating a sporting retreat for his family in the image of a Scandinavian barn.

“It’s a great piece of architecture and our whole family is very sporty, so the whole theme of the house is sport and recreation. We love the gym, sauna and ice bath and use them every day,” he said.

Inside, the house reflects the clean lines, natural wood and minimalist style typical of Scandinavian design.

Most of the living space is on the first floor, which reveals an open-plan living and dining area, a kitchen equipped with Bosch and Smeg appliances, a master with en suite bathroom and two additional bedrooms. Downstairs there is a rumpus room and a further bedroom is hidden in the roof space.

The house is surrounded by lush, automatically irrigated gardens plus three fully fenced paddocks, over 150,000 liters of water storage and an electronic dog gate that surrounds the grounds.

In addition, there is DA approval for additional architecturally designed homes in the block.

Mr Croft said he likes the community feel of the area, as well as the reserve on the hill next to the house, where the family has been known to pitch a tent.

With the Crofts moving to Noosa, the property is listed with a guide price of more than $3 million.

Agent Ryan Broadhurst of Belle Property Queanbeyan said he had received a huge amount of interest.

“We’ve had hundreds of inquiries; we’re narrowing it down to the right person. There are plenty of buyers from Canberra and also interest from buyers from Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne.”

He said the house itself had “plenty of high-end finishes”, while the location offered the ideal tree change for those who like to be active.

“It’s a really good lifestyle block for sporty families. And the land is impressive; they run eight highland cows. And the hill is great for mountain biking and motorcycling.”
