Your garage is cool. Theirs might be cooler. Forza Horizon 6’s Estate system is one of the most exciting new social features in the game — a massive, customizable open-world property where you can build, decorate, showcase your rarest cars, and invite friends to explore your creation.
But here’s the thing — 2if you don’t actually know where to find the option to visit another player’s Estate, it’s very easy to miss this one entirely. 2In fact, the achievement is currently deemed ‘rare’ on Xbox due to how few players have actually unlocked it.
This guide walks you through every method, the hidden prerequisite most players miss, and how to grab the “What Are You Doing in My Estate?” achievement in under 5 minutes.

What Is the Estate in Forza Horizon 6?
10 At its core, The Estate is your own permanent space in the open world. Unlike the houses in previous Forza Horizon games, which were static hubs you could only visit, The Estate starts off as a completely empty, overgrown mountain valley. When you first unlock it, it feels like a blank canvas — nothing but mountains, cliffs, and nature around you. From there, you can build and decorate anything you want.
| Estate Feature | Details |
|---|---|
| Type | Customizable open-world property |
| Location | Mountain valley (Yashiki House area) |
| Cost | 10,000 CR |
| Prerequisite | Yellow Stamp in Collection Journal |
| Multiplayer | Friends can visit & explore |
| Permanence | All builds are permanent & visitable |
| Sharing | Can be shared via Creative Hub |
6 You can now purchase Estates where you and your friends can display your rare aftermarket cars. It acts as a shared garage where you can hang out and plan your next mountain run.

PREREQUISITE: You MUST Own Your Estate First!
This is where most players get stuck. 18In order to view other player estates, you must first purchase your own estate — the Yashiki House — which becomes available after earning the Yellow Stamp for your Collection Journal. You can then purchase it for 10,000 CR.
| Step | Action | Requirement |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Earn your first Collection Journal stamp | Explore Japan: find Mascots, complete Horizon Stories |
| 2 | Earn the Yellow Stamp specifically | Continue journal progression |
| 3 | Purchase the Yashiki House | 10,000 CR |
| 4 | Visit your own Estate first | Drive there after the intro cutscene |
| 5 | Now you can view other players’ Estates | Via Creative Hub or Convoy |
11 The Estate in Forza Horizon 6 is not unlocked immediately and requires some early progression, although it shouldn’t take too long to access the feature. Access to the Estate is available once you collect your first stamp in the collection journal for exploring Japan. 11 Once you earn your first stamp, you will receive a message from Mei, who will invite you to the Estate. Drive there for a short introductory cutscene, which then leads to full access to the Estate.
Method 1: Via Creative Hub (FASTEST — No Friends Needed!)
2 This is by far the fastest way to unlock the achievement, as it doesn’t require you to have any other players in a convoy. This is also the best option, as any estate you find through the Creative Hub has been set to share.
Step-by-Step:
| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| 1 | Open the Pause Menu |
| 2 | Navigate to Creative Hub |
| 3 | Select Estates tab |
| 4 | Browse the Featured tab (best bet for open estates) |
| 5 | Select any Estate that interests you |
| 6 | Choose Creator Info → View Creative Hub |
| 7 | Select “Visit Their Estate” on the left side of the screen |
| 8 | Press A — a loading screen will appear |
| 9 | 🏆 Achievement unlocks automatically! |
2 When this loads, you’ll see the ‘Visit Their Estate’ option on the left-hand side of the screen. Select this and press A and a loading screen will show up before you’re taken to that specific estate. You’re then free to drive around the ground and see what that player has put together.
⚠️ If an Estate shows as locked, simply move on to the next one. Featured estates are almost always set to public.
Method 2: Via Convoy (Visit a Friend’s Estate)
2 To visit a friend’s estate, you need to first invite them to your convoy. This can be done by opening the menus, pressing Y to open the ‘Convoy’ menu (or selecting it from the ‘Online’ tab), and then inviting a friend to join you from the options here.
Step-by-Step:
| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| 1 | Open the Pause Menu → Online tab |
| 2 | Press Y to open the Convoy menu |
| 3 | Select Invite Player to Convoy |
| 4 | Choose your friend from your friends list |
| 5 | Wait for them to accept the invitation |
| 6 | Open the Convoy menu again → Select their name |
| 7 | Choose View Creative Hub → Visit Their Estate |
| 8 | 🏠 You’re in! Explore their property freely |
2 Once a player is in your convoy, open the convoy menu, select their name and then select the ‘View Creative Hub’ option again. This will bring up the same ‘Visit Their Estate’ option.
⚠️ IMPORTANT: Privacy Settings Matter!
2 If you try and visit a friend’s via a convoy, and they’ve set theirs to private, you won’t be able to visit it. 18 Turns out we had to go My Horizon > My Estates > Visitor Permission and set it to open. Now it’s available to visit and we both got the achievement.
If your friend’s Estate appears locked, have them update their privacy settings:
| Setting Path | Action |
|---|---|
| My Horizon → My Estates → Visitor Permission | Set to Open |
Method 3: Via Social Tab (Quick & Easy)
18 Just go to: Online > Social > choose a high-rank player > View Creative Hub > Visit Property. If it’s locked, look for another player. You don’t need to be in a convoy, it’s quick and effective.
This method lets you browse random players in your session without adding them as friends or forming a convoy. Simply find any player with a public Estate and visit straight from the Social tab.

What Can You Do in Another Player’s Estate?
10 The Estate shines in multiplayer. You can host car meets, invite friends to explore, or race your custom tracks together. Friends who visit can see exactly what you’ve built, and it’s always exciting to see their reactions.
| Activity | Available? |
|---|---|
| Drive around freely | ✅ |
| View their car collection | ✅ |
| Race on their custom tracks | ✅ |
| Photograph their builds | ✅ |
| Edit/modify their Estate | ❌ (owner only) |

10 You can create your own permanent tracks with tight drift zones, high-speed straights, or technical obstacle courses. Invite your friends to race on your custom circuits, then tweak and refine them until they’re perfect. The level of control here is insane, and it’s rewarding to see others enjoy a track you meticulously built.
How to Make YOUR Estate Visitable
Don’t just visit — be visited! Here’s how to set your Estate up for guests:
| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| 1 | Go to My Horizon → My Estates |
| 2 | Set Visitor Permission to Open |
| 3 | (Optional) Share your Estate via the Creative Hub |
| 4 | Build something worth visiting! |
Pro Tips for Building an Estate Worth Visiting:
10 Start Small: Focus on one area first — maybe a driveway, a small garage, or a viewing platform. Expand gradually. Use Credits Wisely: Experiment, but keep an eye on your in-game currency to avoid overspending early. Explore Others’ Estates: The community is creative — download layouts for inspiration. Test Race Tracks: Make sure drift zones and high-speed sections flow well before inviting friends. Think About Social Spaces: Your estate is as much for friends as it is for you. Include areas for cars, gatherings, and scenic spots.
All 7 Houses in Forza Horizon 6
The Estate is just one of the properties you can own. 14Like previous titles, 7 properties around Japan may be purchased by the player to become their home. New to Forza Horizon 6 is that each of these houses feature customizable garages, where the player may showcase some of their cars and decorate it freely. They may also invite other players into their garage.
| Feature | Regular Houses | The Estate |
|---|---|---|
| Quantity | 7 across Japan | 1 (Yashiki House area) |
| Customization | Garage layouts + decorating | Full open-world building |
| Multiplayer | Friends can visit garages | Friends can explore entire property |
| Tracks | ❌ | ✅ Build custom race circuits |
| Sharing | Download garage layouts | Download full Estate layouts |
14 The Estate is a property that allows the player to build on an empty plot of land and customize it directly in the open world. These creations are permanent and visitable by other players. Each item costs credits to put down, but can be earned back if deleted.
