Price per m² based on land size of 780 m².
The property sits on a 780 m² block.
The Dickson District Playing Fields are about 0.2 km away, a short walk from the house.
The land was originally a CSIRO agricultural research facility and, during 1939‑1945, it was used to grow opium poppy for medication supplies. Large pine and gum trees were planted then as windbreaks.
The site is underlain by calcareous shales from the Canberra Formation, which are overlain by Quaternary alluvium.
The house is in the federal electorate of Canberra, represented by Alicia Payne of the Labor Party.
Within roughly 1 km you’ll find St Margaret's Uniting Church (0.5 km), Dickson Library (1.0 km), a refurbished shopping centre with a new cafe and veterinary clinic, and a bronze kangaroo sculpture unveiled in 2019.
