16 Hackett Gardens, Turner ACT 2612, Australia
The house sits on a 920 m² block. This is within the typical 900–1000 m² range for original Turner lot sizes.
The property is a detached house. It is one of the few remaining low‑density dwellings in Turner.
The house is about 0.7 km from the ANU campus, making it comfortably walkable. This proximity is typical for many Turner residents.
Haig Park is approximately 0.8 km away and offers large pine‑tree areas. Gazetted Park (0.6 km) and the flood‑drainage reserve along Sullivans Creek are also within easy reach.
Within a 0.5–0.7 km radius you’ll find the Australian National University Football Club, several churches (including a Lutheran and a Baptist church), and cultural clubs such as the Alliance Française and Polish Club.
Turner was developed in the 1940s‑1950s as a garden‑city suburb with wide nature strips and generous road widths. Original block sizes were large (800–1400 m²), and many have been redeveloped into medium‑density units, though some detached houses remain.
Turner sits on calcareous shales from the Canberra Formation that are overlain by Quaternary alluvium. Several inactive fault lines, including the Acton Fault, pass through the area.
