About this property
Please contact Natalia or Dean to schedule a viewing or for more information including a video walkthrough. Investment properties leased to Defence Housing Australia (DHA) are widely recognised for their consistency and long-term reliability-and this is a clear example of why. Set on a 583sqm corner allotment in a well-established pocket of Kirwan, this four-bedroom home is backed by a government lease in place until December 2027, with an option to extend through to 2030. It's the kind of investment where the fundamentals are already in place-allowing you to step in with clarity around income, tenancy, and ongoing management. Inside, the home has been designed with long-term livability in mind. Multiple living zones provide flexibility for families, with a separate lounge on entry and an open-plan family and dining area forming the central hub of the home. What sets the space apart is the scale. Raked ceilings rise to approximately 4.2 metres through the main living area, complemented by 2.7 metre ceilings throughout and oversized windows and doors that enhance both light and airflow. Fully tiled living areas add to the practicality, creating a low-maintenance interior suited to long-term tenancy. The kitchen is well positioned overlooking the main family and dining areas, complete with electric cooking, a breakfast bar, and ample storage-designed to function easily for everyday use. Accommodation includes four well-sized bedrooms with built-in wardrobes and air-conditioning, including a particularly spacious master suite featuring a walk-in robe and oversized, private ensuite. The layout is simple, functional, and proven to work for families over time. Step outside to a covered patio, offering an outdoor space that supports everyday living. The corner allotment allows for double gate side access and additional yard space-features that continue to appeal strongly to tenants in this location. THE INVESTMENT YOU ARE MAKING With a DHA lease already in place, this is an investment built around certainty. The current lease runs through to December 2027, with a further option to extend for three years at DHA's discretion-providing a clear, structured income stream from day one. For investors, this removes many of the unknowns typically associated with residential property-no vacancy risk between tenancies, no re-letting fees, and rental reviews conducted annually by independent valuers. It's a model designed for consistency, making it particularly suited to those looking for a more hands-off approach to property investment. THE DETAILS YOU WILL NEED • 4 bedrooms with air-conditioning and built in wardrobes • Spacious master suite with walk-in robe and large, private ensuite • Multiple living zones including separate lounge and open-plan family/dining • 4.2m raked ceilings to main living, 2.7m ceilings throughout • Large windows and 2.3m high doors enhancing light and airflow • Fully tiled living areas for low-maintenance upkeep • Spacious kitchen with breakfast bar and ample storage • Covered outdoor patio for everyday use • 583sqm corner allotment with double gate side access • Double lock-up garage • Security screens and internal laundry DHA Lease Information: • Lease commencement: 12 December 2021 • Lease expiry: 11 December 2027 • Option to extend: Additional 3 years (to 2030) • Current rent: $665 per week • Rates: $2,497.74 per half year (including water) DHA Investment Benefits: Guaranteed rental income for the full lease term - no loss of rent between tenancies. No re-letting fees for the duration of the lease. Qualified valuers perform annual rental reviews every December. DHA Property Care program providing professional maintenance (service fee applies).

Inspections: In accordance with DHA policy, private inspections are available by appointment for pre-qualified buyers. Please contact Natalia and Dean on 0400 429 234 to schedule a viewing or for more information. Properties with secure DHA leases, clear income, and proven tenant appeal tend to be tightly held-largely because once they're in place, there's very little incentive to let them go. For investors looking for a stable, low-intervention asset with defined returns, this is an opportunity to secure exactly that.
