Captivating Forrest oasis with two residences

FORREST, in the heart of the Otways, is a captivating hinterland village that offers peace, tranquillity, and a lifestyle that replenishes both body and soul.

Many urbanites have made the Forrest region their second home, especially those into healthy activities such as mountain bike riding, horse riding, and hiking.

Some have also made Forrest their primary residence after the fallout from Covid led to an easier transition to a work from home lifestyle.

 

The options are endless with this area of the Otways, and with Charles Stewart’s recent listing being a great example of diverse lifestyle prospects, there is no better time to jump on this rare opportunity.
