Tucked into the heart of one of the Hills' most welcoming communities, this 5-acre slice of Glen Forrest is ready for a forward-thinking family wanting the best possible life. This is a whopping great house that comes with a golden ticket permission slip to reinvent your lifestyle in all the best ways. Want to finally start that art studio or yoga retreat? This land will happily accommodate. Want your teens to have a space of their own while you reclaim your peace and sanity? There's room for a granny flat, for sure. Want to raise your young kids barefoot in the bush, surrounded by birdcalls, community events, warm-hearted neighbours, and weekend walks to cute cafes? This is your moment. This isn't a suburban squeeze - this is space, soul, and serious opportunity. And while the house might be dressed in every colour of the rainbow right now, if you can see past the palette, you'll realise: this is the pot of gold. It's a big home on a big block, and it's brimming with potential for someone who dares to dream a little bigger.

Inside, you're treated by that earthy, bushland grandeur you just don't get in cookie-cutter builds. The open-plan kitchen and dining space is cathedral-like, with high vaulted ceilings and exposed timber beams that feel equal parts rustic charm and dramatic flair. The kitchen itself offers ample storage and a serene outlook to the outdoors and the dining area is flooded with light from tall windows and warmed by a fireplace that practically demands favourite visitors and good wine. Step into the lounge and you'll find glowing Jarrah floorboards underfoot, a second wood fireplace, a gas heater for convenience, and doors that lead straight out to the wraparound verandahs. Your indoor/outdoor lifestyle just became a year-round affair. This home isn't all sterile perfection - it's about lived-in magic, layers of warmth, and real room (and lots of it) to evolve.

The five-acre block is fully fenced at the back (so your doggo can live their best life) and includes a double garage with roller-door access to the backyard, a seriously impressive shed with a mezzanine level and a block and tackle (hello, dream workshop), and a near-new hot water system that takes one big thing off your To Do list. There's room to build an alfresco patio area, plant veggie gardens, or pop up a granny flat or creative studio (subject to approval) - whatever your version of 'living the dream' looks like. The wraparound verandahs are made for golden-hour wine o'clock, and the whole property radiates that hard-to-find combo of potential and peace.

Big character energy just waiting to be uncovered.
