Federal, NSW 2480

Overview

189 Federal Drive, Federal

Set across an extraordinary 129-acre holding in the heart of the Byron hinterland, this property presents a rare opportunity where scale, approval, and natural beauty converge. Development approval (DA) is already secured for a 15-lot subdivision, with each lot permitting two dwellings subject to council approval (STCA), providing a solid foundation to unlock significant value in one of the region's most tightly held landscapes.

The land itself is as compelling as the approval. It features rolling green meadows, meandering creeks, and forested pockets that create a rich and varied environment, offering both privacy and a deep connection to nature. Elevated positions on the property capture sweeping panoramic views to the Nightcap Ranges, delivering a sense of space and openness that is increasingly rare.

Currently operating as a working rural holding, the property is fully fenced and supports cattle grazing, with existing infrastructure in place to support primary production activities. Importantly, it benefits from primary production status, which may offer potential land tax advantages appealing to both investors and long-term holders.

Beyond its immediate agricultural use, the true value of this holding lies in its flexibility. Whether realized as a premium lifestyle subdivision, a legacy land bank, or a private estate with future upside, this property offers both present-day utility and long-term vision.

Located just minutes from the Federal village, with Bangalow and Byron Bay within easy reach, the property strikes a rare balance between seclusion and accessibility.

This is not simply a land offering; it is a strategic acquisition with approval, scale, and one of the most compelling natural settings in the Northern Rivers region.
