Located within the private and exclusive suburb of Brooklet, 44 Rishworths Lane is one of the Byron Bay region’s finest equestrian and hinterland estates sprawling across approximately 34 acres (13.98 ha).

Sensitively and beautifully renovated over the last four years by entrepreneur Rose Deo, this country estate has been lovingly updated to provide the perfect blend of luxury country lifestyle and equine enjoyment.

Rose first visited 44 Rishworths Lane in 2019, looking for land that was elevated and useable without sacrificing views, close to the ocean, airports, quality schools for her children, and easily accessible to amenities.

What she found was a wholesale nursery on a beautiful 34.5 acre block, incredible hinterland views to the Nightcap Range and Minyon Falls, but a tired old Queenslander style homestead needing some love. What was evident was the possibility.

“This property has to be rated as one of the finest hinterland estates in the Byron Bay region. It is not only nestled in a very private and tightly held enclave of other luxury estates, it has been lovingly renovated with a family and comfort in mind.

Very special spaces have been created to share with others through swimming, riding and alfresco entertaining on the deep verandahs with the gorgeous sunsets as your backdrop.

There are also spaces for retreat and reflection, where you really feel a million miles away from any hustle and bustle of daily life but have everything you need on your doorstep, just on the other side of those beautiful gates” Deborah Cullen told LUXURY LIST WEEKEND.

“The equine infrastructure on this property is on a whole new level of quality. Every part of the farm has been addressed to be easy and practical to have horses, cattle or smaller animals.

With incredible stables and arena facilities right through to day paddocks and yards, specialised feed and machinery sheds and an abundance of water, it really is the perfect equestrian country property and we are very excited to showcase it to our clients” said Richard Royle.

Now, the sprawling main homestead has been updated and renovated to provide a luxurious blend of country and contemporary living.

The ceilings are high, the details of finishes and fittings are on another level and there are beautiful French style doors opening onto the wrap around deep verandahs.

A large country style kitchen boasts brand new cabinetry and fully integrated appliances including a divine Lancanche stove (imported from France) designer light fittings and butler’s pantry.

There are featured leadlight windows and the large walls provide the perfect ‘art space’ for the collector.

The large dining room has a combustion fireplace set in sandstone and skylights above and flows to the formal lounge which spills out to the verandahs and further dining and lounge areas outside.

The home now has an abundance of natural light and showcases stunning designer light fittings throughout. There is also a stylish home office off the hallway to provide an easy work from home experience.

Four bedrooms provide perfect accommodation with the private master bedroom and ensuite providing views down over the hinterland hills. Outdoor entertaining is full of options, with deep verandah style alfresco areas, sitting and dining areas by the new heated mineral swimming pool with sandstone paving, or down by the lake for picnics. 

A studio space has been created in the old dairy building which provides a perfect studio/office space to utilise for work or hobby purposes, it even has its own entertaining deck and private garden area.
