17 Forest Drive, Jerrabomberra, NSW 2619

A home of rare character and beauty, this architecturally designed retreat offers a living experience usually reserved for Canberra's premier inner suburbs. With expansive leafy views from every room and nature at your doorstep, this is a true forest sanctuary - a home where nature, light and space come together­, without sacrificing convenience or potential for growth.

Positioned on a 931sqm block with a north-to-rear orientation and RZ2 zoning, the home sits within Jerrabomberra's sought-after 'Goldilocks zone' - balancing easy access to nature and a growing list of amenities, such as primary and secondary schools, shops and the suburb's new R&D precinct.

Inside, the design emphasises light, warmth and connection to the landscape, while five generous bedrooms and a mezzanine loft offer exceptional flexibility - ideal for working from home, or creating a library, sixth bedroom/guestroom or multi-generational living space. Expansive windows, high ceilings and premium timber flooring create sun-drenched living areas, reinforcing the retreat-style feel.

The kitchen has been thoughtfully designed with a deep stone benchtop, butler's pantry and a clear outlook across the landscaped backyard­-perfect for family life and entertaining. The master suite includes a walk-in wardrobe and a double shower ensuite with private garden views, while both bathrooms have been tastefully upgraded with premium cabinetry and tiling.

Outdoors, the landscaped backyard is a natural extension of the living space, with lavender-framed level lawns, cherry blossoms in Spring and mature trees inviting your gaze to a large Japanese-style waterfall. A private gate leads directly to Allan McGrath Oval, connecting you to nearby walking trails, the local waterhole and wetlands, Lake Jerrabomberra, several playgrounds and a new pump track.

Beyond the home's natural beauty, the suburb offers solid growth potential. A suburb on the rise, Jerrabomberra consistently ranks as one of the region's higher household income areas, enjoying a strong sense of community safety and significant ongoing infrastructure investment, including the new Poplars Innovation Precinct. The home's flexible RZ2 zoning also provides options for future development (subject to approvals), further strengthening its long-term appeal.

Homes like this - where aesthetics, practical liveability and growth potential meet - are rarely available outside Canberra's premier suburbs. This is an opportunity to secure a unique sanctuary, where beauty, convenience and value meet.
