Overview

Set in the scenic Byron hinterland, this expansive 129-acre property presents a unique investment and lifestyle opportunity with existing DA approval for a 15-lot subdivision. The approval, which permits two dwellings per lot (subject to council approval), unlocks significant developmental potential in a coveted and tightly held area.

The landscape offers a rich tapestry of rolling meadows, creeks, and forested areas that provide both privacy and a strong connection to the natural environment. Elevated parts of the land provide sweeping views of the Nightcap Ranges, adding to the rural appeal and sense of openness which is increasingly rare.

Currently functioning as a working cattle farm, the property comes fully fenced with established agricultural infrastructure. It benefits from primary production status, which can confer land tax advantages that are attractive to investors and owners looking for long-term holding strategies.

This estate is ideal for those seeking a flexible property option, capable of being maintained as a rural lifestyle estate, subdivided for residential development, or held as a strategic landbank for future growth. Its balance of privacy, scale, and accessibility—being just minutes from Federal village and within a short drive to Bangalow and Byron Bay—makes it appealing to a range of buyers.
