71 Bentham Street, Yarralumla ACT 2600, Australia
71 Bentham Street is a standalone house. It is set on a very large parcel of land, offering extensive garden or open‑space potential.
The property sits on approximately 882,395 m² of land. This provides a substantial amount of outdoor space compared with typical residential lots in the area.
The house is in Yarralumla, which lies about 3‑4 km south‑west of Canberra’s central business district. It is therefore very close to the capital’s main attractions and workplaces.
Within walking distance you’ll find the CSIRO Forestry Precinct (≈0.1 km) and the historic Yarralumla brickworks (≈0.3 km). The former Australian Forestry School site and Westbourne Woods arboretum are also nearby, each within about 0.4 km.
Weston Park, a popular lakeside recreation spot with swimming, playgrounds and a miniature railway, is a short drive away. Yarralumla Bay on Lake Burley Griffin, used by rowing and sailing clubs, is also within the neighbourhood.
ACTION bus route 57 runs along Novar Street, Schlich Street and Hopetoun Circuit, linking the suburb to Woden Interchange and City Interchange. Residents can also access nearby roads such as Adelaide and Commonwealth Avenues for car travel.
Yarralumla was originally a large pastoral estate granted in the 1820s and later became the site of Government House, the Governor‑General’s residence. The suburb was officially gazetted in 1928 and today blends historic sites like the brickworks with modern residential development.
