Property managers in Farrer, ACT

Farrer Ridge Nature Reserve separates Farrer, ACT 2607, from the Tuggeranong Valley, giving this southern Woden Valley suburb a bushland edge. Rental homes range from houses to townhouses and units. Distinct Properties manages rental homes in Farrer and brings the same property management routine to each one: careful tenant selection, regular inspections, well organised repairs and clear reporting to owners. Distinct Properties has arranged at least 11 leases in Farrer, 10 of them since January 2020, when its records became complete.

Farrer is named for William James Farrer, the pioneer of scientific wheat breeding whose experiments took place at Lambrigg near Tharwa, and most of its streets honour agriculturalists. Gazetted in 1966, the suburb is framed by Athllon Drive, Yamba Drive and Beasley Street. Local facilities include a few shops, an oval next to the primary school and a nature play trail by the old Long Gully scout hall. Farrer Ridge Nature Reserve, used by walkers, runners and cyclists, follows the ridge that divides Woden from Tuggeranong.

Distinct Properties leases houses, townhouses and units in Farrer, and each type calls for different care. Houses usually come with gardens, fences and gutters that need regular attention, and older ones can be due for heating, bathroom or kitchen updates. Townhouses and units ask less of the owner outside but involve owners corporation levies and shared rules. For every type, we record the condition with photos at the start of a tenancy and keep track of wear as it goes on.

Farrer Ridge's walking and cycling trails, the local shops and nature play trail, routes 60 and 61 to the Woden Interchange via Canberra Hospital, and the Southlands Centre in neighbouring Mawson all appeal to renters.

Most of the homes we have leased in Farrer are houses.
