One of the great pleasures of this job is that I get to see inside some beautiful properties. This one easily makes my top ten of all time. Tallowwood sits on a high knoll surrounded by 100 acres of pristine natural forest and almost 1 km of the Tweed River. After walking in the front door, the view looking through the lounge and main deck, framed by the sliding doors, is a breathtaking sculptural escarpment – truly wow factor. It has six bedrooms and four bathrooms, a horizon pool, a poolhouse with games room, gym, sauna, and a separate work area. The EOI campaign will close on 16th October, and is listed with Denzil Loyd from Sotheby’s Byron Bay and Gold Coast.

Solhaven Ballina
2025-06-30 10:58
Solhaven in Ballina is a live-work development modelled after the successful Habitat in Byron Bay. They are calling it a micro-village blending residences, creative suites, curated retail and diverse wellness options to foster creativity, connection, and community living in the Northern Rivers.
Besides the marketing blurb, I am an advocate of these master-planned community developments and believe they are a good option, especially for downsizers, young singles, or couples seeking a residence and a place to start a home-based business. Colliers is marketing the project, but I can discuss it with anyone who wants more information.

In the past couple of years, the Australian housing market has shown its strength by moving toward less crowded neighborhoods, with almost 40 percent of Sydneysiders realising that living in a surf town could be their reality.

What You Should Know About the Byron Bay Property Market
Byron Bay is Australia’s most easterly point, with idyllic beaches in a rustic, rural backdrop. The area is 90 kilometres south of the Gold Coast in Queensland and 760 kilometres north of Sydney. Here are a few interesting points about the area, which is one of the most sought-after regions to live in for Aussies and celebs:
- The Byron Shire is a real estate darling of the East Coast of Australia. One of its regional towns is the most desirable in the country: Bangalow has the tag of Australia’s best-performing regional town over the past 20 years.
- According to realestate.com.au’s 2020 REA Insights Regional Australia Report, there was an increase in the price of houses in Bangalow of 1.2 percent, from $76,025 in 2000 to $1.05 million in 2021. Additionally, the push towards remote work in 2020 generated new interest in certain areas such as Northern Rivers. Consequently, prices shot up by almost 30 percent because of the area’s popularity in people buying up any houses for sale in the Byron Bay Hinterland.
- End 2022: some of the first places to witness price drops are the popular regional tourist playgrounds. Richmond-Tweed, which includes the well-known Byron Bay area, is the SA4 regional market that has seen the highest decline in house prices to date, across all types of dwellings. Home prices are down 6.3% from their all-time high, affecting factors include the 2022 flooding, bringing the percentage gain in home prices from March 2020 to 51.90%. (Proptrack Home Price Index).
- Byron Bay is approximately 19.8 square kilometres with 15 parks covering a total area of 24.3 percent. In 2016, the population was close to 6,000, with an annual increase of 11 percent. Individuals between the ages of 20 and 29 are the average residents, with 57 percent of these owning their property. Mortgage repayments range between $1800 and $2399 per month.
