161 Goolabri Drive, Sutton

There are properties where the house is the attraction, and others where it's all about the land and lifestyle. At 161 Goolabri Drive, you don't have to choose between the two. More than 25 years ago, the owners had the opportunity to choose their block within Goolabri Estate. They chose this one. Elevated, private and positioned to take in the beautiful outlook across the surrounding countryside. From there, they created a home of genuine substance. Built in 2000 as a builder's own home, it has been carefully maintained and loved by the same family ever since. It's a home that feels generous without losing its warmth, with four bedrooms, multiple living spaces and an easy connection between the indoors, gardens and views. At the heart of the home, the kitchen and open living areas are filled with natural light and look out across the established grounds. A wood fire brings warmth and character through the cooler months, while seven-zone in-slab heating and evaporative cooling provide year-round comfort. One of the real surprises is the 55m sunroom, a generous additional living space that extends the way the home can be enjoyed and provides another wonderful place to sit back and take in the setting. Outside is where more than two decades of care really shows. The established gardens wrap beautifully around the home, with irrigation helping maintain the lawns and landscaping. Beyond them, approximately 12.5 acres provide the breathing room people come to Sutton looking for, complemented by a dam, bore, substantial water storage and a 16m x 8m four-bay shed. And then there are the views. Morning coffee as the sun comes up, family and friends gathered together, or simply finding a quiet spot at the end of the day. It's easy to understand why this particular piece of Goolabri was chosen all those years ago. That feeling is also reflected in what the owners have loved about living here: the peace and quiet, morning coffee out the back, an evening wine, the views and the sunsets. All of this sits only minutes from Sutton Village and within easy reach of Canberra. It's that combination of country space, community and convenience that continues to make this pocket of Sutton so special. The current owners found their patch of ground and made it theirs. Maybe now, it's time to make it yours.
