Mount Warning Refuge
2025-06-30 10:57
This property on 100 acres close to Mount Warning in the Tweed Shire is out of the ordinary. It would suit a family wanting complete privacy and refuge, but still be close to towns and services. It sits on a knoll with spectacular 360-degree rural views, boasting nearly 1 km of frontage to the Tweed River and water rights. Six bedrooms, an infinity-edge pool with a large entertainment pool house, sauna, gym, and a second garage. Future-proofed with solar, battery and 125L water tanks. Currently off market and will be above $5 million.
BPS is the vendor advocate on this property, so the agent declares interest. Please get in touch with Michael Murray for more information – 0428555501.
Lanes sell Copperstone
2025-06-30 10:54
Serial luxe home builders, Tom and Emma Lane, from the Oraton fashion family, have sold their latest offering, Copperstone Estate, for approximately $30 million. This is just a smidgeon short of the existing record for a Byron property, a beachfront home at Belongil Beach, which recently sold for $33 million to Damian Gance of the Chemist Warehouse family.
The estate was built on a Coopers Shoot farm purchased in 2011 for $3 million. It features high-end amenities such as a wellness centre, a tennis court, and a 25-meter mineral pool, as well as extensive barns and facilities for horses. The Lanes began their Byron investment journey with the development of The Farm in Ewingsdale, which they have since sold. BPS discussed the property when it was listed in this post. The sale was closed by Kim Jones REA in April for $27.5 million after a six-month campaign.
1/111 Lennox Circuit, Pottsville
2025-06-30 10:52
This tidy four-bedroom, two-bathroom property is another one for which I am a Vendor Advocate. Pottsville is a town that is quickly rising in popularity as it is close to the beach, Byron and the GC airport. Properties similar to this one have been selling for anywhere between $1.1 million and $1.2 million. This one is currently off the market. I am the vendor advocate on this property and would be happy to show buyers while it is still off market.
Beach Hotel sells again
2025-06-30 10:51
Byron Bay’s iconic Beach Hotel has sold again. The purchase price of $140 million is the second-highest price ever paid for a pub in Australia. The buyer is businessman, Scott Didier, the chief executive of ASX-listed construction company Johns Lyng Group and a prolific philanthropist.
Didier already has extensive holdings in Byron Bay, including Great Northern and Marvel Hotels. The vendors, MA Financial, purchased the venue for $104 million from the Liberman family in 2020. This newsletter has previously suggested that “The Beachie” tells the story of Byron Bay, and you can read that here.
Solhaven Ballina
2025-06-30 10:49
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.
34-36 Queens St Fingal
2025-03-31 10:28
Demand is strengthening for the good homes on the Tweed Coast. Casuarina, Kingscliff, and Fingal are seeing strong interest due to price growth on the Gold Coast, which is making these properties look like they are of good value.
This property at 35 Queen St, Fingal Head is now being discussed as setting a new record for Tweed Shire. It is for sale with a vacant block beside it offering extra vacant land, including the reserve, which you can walk through to get to the beach. The seven-bedroom and five-bathroom home will be auctioned on April 13th. Listing agents from Coastal Property Collective are not quoting a range but showing similar properties sold between $10-15 million.
The Trend in Byron Bay Real Estate
Once known as a sleepy surf town, Byron Bay has received high levels of interest from Sydneysiders as well as Hollywood celebrities who have been looking at homes for sale in Byron Bay. 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.
Movie star Chris Hemsworth and his wife Elsa Pataky currently possess a mega-mansion in the area and Hollywood ‘A-listers and trendsetters alike have consistently been flocking to Byron since they purchased here in 2014.
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.
