For those who dream of combining the convenience of apartment living with the serenity of nature, the latest residential community in the Hills District offers a rare chance to do just that.
Located in West Pennant Hills, Mirvac's Highforest stands out for its stunning integration of urban convenience and natural beauty.
This luxury Mirvac community borders the expansive Cumberland State Forest, providing breathtaking views akin to living in an eco-retreat.
With an impressive 249 apartments within four boutique buildings, and 165 houses, the project has been carefully crafted to ensure harmonious balance with nature.
With the final collection of apartments soon to be released, purchasers desiring true forest living will love what’s on offer.
The final release of apartments at Mirvac's Highforest are an unmissable opportunity on the edge of the Cumberland State Forest.
An architectural and environmental haven
Mirvac's Highforest is more than just a place to live—it's an invitation to be part of an inspired community connected to the natural world.
Warwick Bible, General Manager of Residential Development in NSW, captures this concept.
"Highforest lets you live as part of the forest itself. It's about embracing nature and finding a way to live more sustainably and well, while still leading a busy modern lifestyle," he said.
The community features a diverse array of home styles, ranging from one- to four-bedroom apartments, along with detached and semi-detached three- to five-bedroom houses.
Each property features luxurious, nature-inspired design elements, such as balcony balustrades that mimic the dappled sunlight that filters through the trees.
Indoors, a palette of natural, earthy tones echoes the forest's seasonal hues.
Larger corner apartments offer house-like spaciousness, well-suited to multi-generational living. Kitchens, many with butler’s pantries, form the natural heart of the home, while dual aspect homes allow cross ventilation.
Maximising the link to the outdoors, strategically placed balconies emphasise uninterrupted forest vistas where possible.
Mr Bible also highlights the sustainability of the homes.
"Achieving an average 7-Star NatHERS rating, every apartment in this all-electric community sets a benchmark for sustainable design," he said.
This is all backed by Mirvac's proven credibility and quality, with Mirvac Constructions being the first in Australia to be awarded the highest possible 5 Gold Star iCIRT rating^ for three years in a row.
The apartments at Mirvac's Highforest are expertly crafted with sustainable and nature-inspired design in mind.
Luxury living amidst nature
Highforest presents not just a residence but a holistic lifestyle, complete with resort-calibre amenities.
Facilities are geared towards community connection and personal well-being, and are proposed to include an indoor swimming pool, communal dining spaces, yoga lawn, outdoor fitness equipment, and multi-purpose recreational half courts.
Residents of the apartment buildings also enjoy exclusive access to a resident lounge, featuring a kitchen, dining area, and terrace designed for entertaining. A co-working space offers residents the flexibility of working from home with the benefits of a professional environment.
With plans for a forest park, complete with playgrounds and picnic spots, there will be ample space for outdoor recreation and leisure.
On the edge of the Cumberland State Forest, Mirvac's Highforest is a community that offers a holistic lifestyle.
A premier location
Situated just 800* metres from Cherrybrook Metro Station and a short 25-minute drive from Sydney’s CBD*, Highforest offers unparalleled connectivity alongside its forest setting.
Weekends present diverse options, from shopping at nearby centres to exploring countless local attractions.
According to Mr Bible, the location of Highforest is particularly attractive for families and professionals, with numerous educational institutions and urban conveniences within easy reach.
For investors and occupants alike, the location promises the best of city living with the peace of nature, especially as Highforest is the only residential community offering new apartments in the West Pennant Hills area.
Realestate.com.au’s latest data shows competitive pricing with a median around $1.3 million, reflecting a market that's increased in value by 25% in recent years, alongside a solid rental yield of 3.9%.
With the last two residential apartment buildings set for release in September 2025, interest remains high since the initial launch.
"With construction progressing and final apartments coming onto the market, there's a great need for swift decision-making to secure a home in this unique setting," said Mr Bible.
