9 Linger Place, Melba - Sold prior to Auction.

When Team Paine from Momentum Property took on 9 Linger Place in Melba, they knew it was special, but few could have predicted just how remarkable the campaign would become. This architecturally designed home captivated the local market, sparking intense curiosity and community buzz that ultimately led to a record sale price for the suburb, secured even before the property reached Auction day.

A resort-style haven hidden in plain sight

Tucked discreetly behind a gated entrance and facing a tranquil reserve, 9 Linger Place offered a rare balance of privacy and luxury. From the street, you’d hardly know it existed—yet once inside, the home unfolded into a stunning resort-style sanctuary. The layout was built around a sparkling swimming pool and outdoor entertaining area, complete with a wellness space and bar. Expansive yet welcoming, it struck the perfect harmony between elegance and comfort.

Every detail was designed with lifestyle in mind. Two double garages provided exceptional parking and storage, while the home’s thoughtful flow created a sense of connection between its sophisticated interior and resort-inspired exterior. As Peter White from Team Paine described, “It felt more like a resort than a home, but it still had that warm, lived-in feeling that made it truly special.”

The story behind the sale

The sellers, a couple with deep ties to Canberra’s property scene, had built the home themselves and lived there for several years before life took them in a new direction. Having worked in real estate, the owner understood the power of experience and trust—and after following Team Paine’s impressive results across Belconnen, she knew they were the right fit to represent her home.

From the outset, the relationship between the sellers and agents was built on mutual respect and confidence. “They gave us full reign,” Peter said. “They trusted us completely throughout the process, and we felt really honoured to be chosen to sell such a personal and remarkable home.”

A campaign that captured attention

Interest in the property was immediate and widespread. Locals flocked to the open homes, eager to see what was being called the “unicorn house” of Melba. The combination of its design, location, and sheer individuality made it one of the most talked-about listings in the area.

As the campaign progressed, Team Paine fielded strong enquiry and multiple competitive buyers. Ultimately, it was a pre-auction offer that sealed the deal; one that reflected the property’s unique value and set a new benchmark for the suburb.

More than a record result

While the record-breaking sale price is an achievement in itself, the true success of 9 Linger Place lay in its story – a blend of trust, strategy, and the power of great presentation. It wasn’t just about selling a house; it was about connecting the right buyers with a home that spoke to their lifestyle dreams.

For Momentum Property and Team Paine, the campaign showcased what’s possible when experience meets energy and when a property’s story is told with care and authenticity.
