The fire front was about 150 metres in diameter and the flames were burning uphill near Stockdrill Drive.
ACT Fire & Rescue and ACT Rural Fire Service crews had four tankers and a water bombing helicopter battling the fire.
The ACT Emergency Services Agency earlier said it wasn't threatening any properties.
Fire crews were expected to remain at the scene for a few hours.
Strathnairn backs onto the Murrumbidgee River and includes artists' studios, an exhibition gallery and a sculpture garden.
