A Family Home, A Local Landmark

END DATE SALE: ALL OFFERS CLOSE BY 2pm THURSDAY 2nd JULY 2026 (the sellers reserve the right to sell prior to the end date without notice).

Originally built by William Green as a watering hole for railway workers and travellers, this home has always been about people coming together and feeling looked after. That legacy still lingers. It's in the air, in the space, in the way this property invites you to gather, host, retreat, and reset. Just over an acre of land gives you room to breathe while still being an easy stroll to the centre of town, great schools, and parks where you'll meet your new best friends. Oh, and also you can take your morning walk along the Heritage Trail, straight from your back boundary. It is lifestyle, history, and community, all wrapped into one very special home.

Inside, his grand old lady wears her story proudly. And it's obvious every caretaker of this heritage has done an excellent job of maintaining and caring for her. High ornate ceilings. Polished jarrah floorboards that have carried more than a century of footsteps. A wide central hallway that feels like a spine running through the home, connecting past and present in all the right ways. You have four bedrooms plus a study or fifth bedroom, giving you flexibility whether you are growing a family, working from home or accommodating guests who will absolutely not want to leave and who could blame them? There are two bathrooms, a formal lounge that needs the best conversations, and an elegant dining room that demands candles and proper dinners. Then there is the more relaxed side with the open-plan informal living and a timber country kitchen that is equal parts charm and function. French doors, bifolds and timber sash windows let the outside in, while slow combustion wood fires and split system air conditioning keep things comfortable year round. Downstairs you will find a cellar, storeroom and teen retreat, which means space for everyone and everything, without compromise.

Outside showcases the very best of landscaping that respects the seasons, its origins, and the people who are lucky enough to live here. The wide timber decked front verandah is pure nostalgia, if this doesn't become your favourite spot in any kind of warm weather then we'd be very surprised. But, equally, you might be called to the central courtyard or patio. Or a picnic on the lawn. OK, it may be hard to choose a favourite retreat, but there's also still room to grow and plant and play and potter about. There's a small shed, veggie patch, and a chook pen that completes the dream of country-style living with convenience still close by. Forrest Arms is rich, layered, and completely one-of-a-kind. Which is exactly the point.

Be part of the legacy.
