An extraordinary 5,128m² Forrest landholding – create a home for generations to come

There are properties that offer a beautiful home, and then there are landholdings that offer the opportunity to create something truly exceptional. For the purchaser with a vision, the possibilities here are exciting.
Occupying an extraordinary 5,128m² (approx.) in one of Forrest's most tightly held and prestigious pockets,2 Tennyson Crescent is a landholding of remarkable scale and rarity. Privately held land of this size is seldom found in Forrest, creating the potential for a magnificent family estate designed for generations to come.
The scale and established landscape are what makes this property so desirable. A sweeping driveway and mature deciduous trees create privacy and a wonderful sense of permanence, while the expansive grounds already accommodate a full-sized tennis court and swimming pool. The generous proportions and northerly aspect provide an exceptional canvas from which to consider a substantial renovation or the development of a new residence, landscaped gardens and resort-style outdoor living.
Importantly, there is no need to rush the vision. The existing circa-1929 residence provides an immediately usable home while future plans are considered. Rich in the character of its era, it features high ceilings, timber floors, sash windows and two fireplaces, together with an upgraded kitchen, ducted gas heating and flexible bedroom and study accommodation.
For families drawn to this coveted inner-south location, the position is outstanding. Canberra Grammar School, Canberra Girls Grammar School and Forrest Primary School are all within easy reach, while Manuka, the Parliamentary Triangle and many of Canberra's finest amenities are just moments away.
This holding is a prime example of an opportunity to implement the government's new policy of fulfilling the 'missing middle'.
Any redevelopment potential is subject to all applicable planning and regulatory legislation, government policies, approvals and other relevant requirements.
Features
• Exceptional 5,128m² (approx.) landholding in prestigious Forrest
• Rare scale, privacy and established mature landscaping
