96 Jackie Howe Crescent, Macarthur, ACT 2904

Perched high in one of Canberra’s most elusive southern pockets, this expansive family residence delivers an irresistible combination of peace, privacy and panoramic views. Positioned directly opposite endless parkland and bush reserve, with vistas stretching across Tuggeranong Valley to the Brindabellas, this is a rare opportunity to secure a lifestyle that feels a world away - yet remains closely connected to convenience. With generous proportions throughout, lush established gardens, and a true sense of serenity, this is the perfect place to settle in and spread out.

Designed for growing families and effortless entertaining, the home centres around a large open-plan kitchen and family room warmed by a character-rich wood fireplace. From here, bi-fold doors open onto a wide timber deck that invites alfresco dining or relaxed weekend lounging with a view. Multiple living zones cater to every stage of life - from quiet movie nights to big celebrations - while expansive windows flood the interiors with natural light.

Five well-separated bedrooms ensure space and privacy for all. The main retreat enjoys ample robe space and a spacious ensuite, while the secondary rooms are generous in size and quietly positioned. The backyard is a true highlight - private, flat, and wrapped in established hedging, it’s a green haven perfect for weekend cricket, backyard camping or letting the dog stretch out. The oversized double garage also includes a versatile additional space - ideal as a workshop, games room, or extra storage.

Beyond the front door, nature awaits. Directly across the road lies a vast stretch of reserve that links to the Centenary Trail - perfect for weekend hikes, mountain biking or even checking on your horse if you're a local equestrian (yes, there's agistment close by). A short stroll or bike ride leads you through leafy streets and parkland to the Chisholm shops, home to local favourites like L’epi French bakery and Sushi Sushi.

Macarthur is arguably one of Canberra’s best-kept secrets. Nestled at the foot of Wanniassa Hills Nature Reserve, this quiet, leafy suburb is loved for its sense of community, quality schooling, generous blocks, and peaceful, low-traffic streets. With nearby access to arterial roads, Erindale Centre & South.Point Tuggeranong, plus Woden and the Inner South not too far away - it’s no wonder once families move in, they rarely leave.
