In the emerging Sydney community of Highforest in West Pennant Hills, Mirvac is creating a seamless fusion of prime location, natural beauty, and luxurious living.
Just 25 minutes from the CBD, Mirvac's Highforest community promises an exceptional lifestyle in this exclusive location.
Nestled along the fringes of the Cumberland State Forest, Highforest offers new residents fantastic access to the great outdoors.
With a variety of housing options including detached, semi-detached, and terrace homes ranging from three to five bedrooms, your home can effortlessly adapt to your family's evolving needs.
The Highforest development seamlessly blends modern homes with the natural surrounds.
Additionally, spacious apartments across four buildings are available, offering premium configurations with one to four bedrooms.
While these homes provide modern comforts, urban convenience is never far away thanks to the array of proposed on-site amenities with a pool, multiple parks and community spaces all accessible to residents.
Mirvac’s General Manager of Residential Development in NSW, Warwick Bible, underscores the unique appeal of the location, describing it as a rare find.
"Situated on the edge of the breathtaking Cumberland State Forest, residents can truly achieve a balance between urban living and stunning natural surroundings," he said.
He also highlights the opportunity for residents to enjoy nature walks each morning, followed by visits to local cafes or shops, all without the need for a car.
A sought-after location
Buyers will recognise West Pennant Hills’s reputation as a sought-after place to live with a strong community feel.
Locals are particularly drawn to West Pennant Hills for its tranquil residential streets lined with family-friendly homes and its proximity to Sydney’s CBD.
With spacious homes and nearby lifestyle amenities, Highforest is perfectly suited for family life.
The suburb boasts robust transportation options, including the Cherrybrook Metro Station, just 800 metres away, and a comprehensive network of buses, making commuting hassle-free.
Families are especially attracted to the area for its high standard of education, with premier schools such as Cherrybrook Tech, Tangara School for Girls, Northholm Grammar School, and Redfield College.
Additionally, residents enjoy convenient access to premier shopping at Castle Towers, along with numerous local dining spots and recreational facilities.
West Pennant Hills also offers an abundance of parks and reserves, providing outdoor spaces for families to enjoy.
PropTrack data confirms the demand for this suburb, with prices rising 10.2% in the last 12 months and an impressive 70% over the past five years, making it a standout choice for those seeking to plant roots in a vibrant community.
Mr Bible notes, “It's got the transport, and it has such a large range of educational opportunities from the great range of public and private schools.
"It’s just an incredible location.”
The vision behind Highforest
According to Mr Bible, given Highforest’s location on the edge of the forest, it was always going to take inspiration from nature.
"We wanted to offer convenience, the vibrancy of urban living, and then combine that with the serenity and beauty of living next to the Cumberland State Forest," he said.
Open floorplans with large windows take full advantage of Highforest's pristine location.
The resulting design is a picture-perfect sanctuary crisscrossed with walking trails sprinkled with nature and open spaces.
"It's very much focused around sustainability and the surrounding environment," shares Mr Bible.
"We're actually regenerating and transferring some of the forest from private to public ownership.
"The key part of our vision for the site was to dedicate over 10 hectares of the endangered remnant forest including the Sydney Blue Gums and the Sydney Turpentine Ironbark forest to Forestry Corporation of NSW expanding the size of the existing Cumberland State Forest.
Forest-inspired interiors
The variety of home options cater to diverse tastes, from expansive apartments with treetop views to spacious 3, 4, and 5-bedroom houses nestled within a nature-inspired streetscape.
Inside, they incorporate organic materials like timber, accompanied by natural colour palettes inspired by the surrounding forest.
The homes are all-electric, targeting a 6-star Green Star rating and offering sustainable living without compromising on style.
Designed for functional living, these homes meet the needs of a wide range of buyers, from families seeking large lots to retirees looking for relaxed, low-maintenance lifestyles.
Generously sized floor plans include additional media, family, and study rooms, along with private open areas, promoting seamless indoor-outdoor living.
A new world awaits
Living amongst nature but with a balance of urban amenities is a rare opportunity.
So, it's no surprise that interest in the latest upcoming release in Highforest is causing a stir.
"70% of the first release of houses and apartments were sold, but there's a new opportunity coming up," Mr Bible says.
"Appointments have commenced, the opportunity to purchase will open on 29th of March.
"We'll be exclusively releasing 25 homes.
"We've actually already started registrations for this, and there's been really strong interest from a lot of local Hills residents and new buyers to the area."
The release includes homes starting at the $2 million mark, including two- to five-bedroom designs.
