Nestled on more than 10 acres just half an hour south of Canberra, this four-bedroom, three-bathroom house is surrounded by pristine bushland and lakes, with private access to 100 acres of community land, perfect for hiking, biking and camping.
But that's only the half of it. The real show-stoppers are at 89 Mount Pleasant Drive, Googong itself.
You can shoot hoops or rally on a full-sized basketball and tennis court, burn some calories on the indoor squash court or in the gym, scale the 10m rock-climbing wall, or take to the skate park.

And to relax those aching muscles, you can enjoy an Odin ice bath, sauna and Cyclone spa.
Vendor Steve Croft bought the empty lot of subdivided farmland seven years ago with a vision to create a sporty sanctuary for his family in the image of a Scandinavian barn.
"It's an amazing piece of architecture, and our whole family is very sporty, so the whole theme of the house is sport and recreation. We love the gym, sauna and ice bath and use it every day," he said.

Inside, the home reflects the clean lines, natural wood, and minimalist style typical of Scandi design.
Most of the living area is on the first floor, which reveals an open-plan lounge and dining area, a kitchen equipped with Bosch and Smeg appliances, a master with an ensuite, and two additional bedrooms. Downstairs, there's a rumpus room plus another bedroom is tucked into the roof space.

The home is surrounded by lush, auto-irrigated gardens plus three fully fenced paddocks, over 150,000 litres of water storage, and an electronic dog fence that encircles the property.
Plus there's DA approval for additional architecturally designed dwelling on the block.

Mr Croft said he loves the community feel of the area, as well as the hillside reserve adjacent to the house, where the family have been known to pitch a tent.
With the Crofts moving to Noosa, the property is listed with a guide price of more than $3m.

Agent Ryan Broadhurst at Belle Property Queanbeyan said he'd received an immense amount of interest.
"We've had hundreds of enquiries; we're just narrowing it down to the right person. There's plenty of Canberra buyers plus interest from buyers in Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne as well."

He said the house itself had "plenty of high-end finishes" while the location offered the ideal tree change for those who love being active.
"It's a really good lifestyle block for sport-minded families. And the land is impressive; they're running eight highland cows. And the hill is great for mountain biking and motorbiking."
