40 Selwyn Street is a standalone house situated on a generous 791 m² block. The sizable lot provides ample outdoor space for gardening, recreation, or future extensions.
The home lies approximately 4.5 km north‑east of Canberra’s CBD, making it a short drive or bike ride to the city centre while still enjoying a quieter suburb atmosphere.
Residents are within walking distance of several green spaces, including Calvert Park (about 1 km away), Justice Robert Hope Park (≈1.3 km), Bill Pye Park (≈1.8 km), and the Mount Majura Nature Reserve just to the east of Hackett.
The Officer Crescent bus shelter is located roughly 1.7 km from the house, providing convenient access to local bus routes throughout the Canberra region.
Hackett falls within the federal division of Canberra, represented by Alicia Payne in the House of Representatives. At the ACT level, it is part of the Kurrajong electorate, currently represented by two Labor members, one Greens, one Liberal, and one Independent MLA.
Selwyn Street is named after Alfred R. C. Selwyn, an English‑Australian geologist who made significant contributions to the geological understanding of the region.
The suburb sits on calcareous shales from the Canberra Formation, overlain by Quaternary alluvium. Its higher eastern side rests on the lowest layer of the Ainslie Volcanics, comprising grey dacite, agglomerate and tuff.
