Sitting high on Fadden Hills, this award-winning home has stunning panoramic views that go on for miles over Tuggeranong Valley and to the Tinderry Ranges beyond.

Known as Blue House, it’s easy to see why this impressive four-bedroom, three-bathroom abode has won multiple awards and been featured in several prestigious publications.

Designed to nestle effortlessly into its environment, the tri-level home blends into the natural scenery of the reserve, taking full advantage of the area’s native trees and plants, cooling summer breezes and superb views.

“The architects Shane Blue and Rachel Bourne have designed the house so that it makes the most of its beautiful surroundings and an abundance of natural light,” says Andrew Curren, principle and director at LJ Hooker-Tuggeranong.

“The whole living area is lit up thanks to the floor-to-cathedral-height ceilings. The colour of the roof is olive green, so it blends into the scenery, and building materials such as reclaimed timer and exposed brick add a nice earthy look and feel.”

“The east-northerly aspect of the property means it enjoys plenty of morning sun, which warms the house up beautifully during the winter months. While during the summer there isn’t too much direct westerly sun, meaning it doesn’t get too hot.”

The main level of the house includes the master bedroom with ensuite and private patio, a kitchen, and ample dining space. There’s also a spacious, light-filled living room that opens onto a huge wraparound deck – a perfect spot to soak up the breathtaking views.

The upper level has three bedrooms, a bathroom, music room or second living room, and a mezzanine study that looks over the living space below.

A large ground level office has its own bathroom and private entrance and could be converted into a flat. There’s parking for two vehicles.

The term ‘one-of-a-kind’ accurately describes Blue House. Blue and Bourne designed the house for close family members and this shines through. The attention to detail, and the sheer amount of time and effort spent on designing and building the house, is second to none.

As well as featuring recycled timber from the wool stores and wharves of Darling Harbour, the property includes curved steel craned on site and a front door from St Augustine’s convent in Balmain.

“A lot of properties in Canberra are your standard houses but this home is genuinely original and stands out from the rest.”

“The architects have put a lot of thought, time and effort into this property and that really shows,” says Curren.

Auction: Saturday 31 August at 2pm
