The Glasshouse is one of the most spectacular homes in Byron Bay, and features magnificent views from the hinterland to the Byron lighthouse. Completely surrounded by nature, the property provides absolute privacy, but is within a short distance of crystal-clear beaches, tropical hinterland bush walks, and cafes, offering the sublime lifestyle of the Northern Rivers.

Byron Bay "is a melting pot for all walks of life offering the chance to blend in and be yourself," agent Liam Annesley from LJ Hooker Byron Bay told SCHWARTZWILLIAMS.

The Glasshouse is designed by architect Alec Tzannes, and is mainly constructed from glass, timber, concrete and steel. Wooden joinery adds warmth to the living and dining areas.

The residence features wrap-around verandahs that frame the views, which range from sweeping landscapes to intimate private settings. 

Panoramic windows are integrated into the northern facade to make the most of the sun, and a sliding walls and internal/external blinds allow flexible living zones.

The gourmet kitchen slides open to an outdoor dining area, and includes an industrial-sized Maytag oven, two Leibherr double fridges, and spacious food preparation areas.

Specific areas of the house are zoned just for entertainment. Downstairs, a cinema room is the standout feature of the teenage retreat. Adults can relax around two fireplaces upstairs, or retreat with a book to the mezzanine library, soothingly surrounded by views of the sky and the rustle and hum of bushland.

The home is situated on a five-acre block, which also includes a waterfall, private lake, orchard, boardwalks, and a secret garden for the children.

A self-contained, two-bedroom pool house is ideal for family, a caretaker, an au pair or guests, and includes a private kitchen, tropical gardens, and views of the tranquil swimming pool.

Byron Bay property is in strong demand.

"Serious buyer demand has continued to ensure the top end of the market in Byron Bay remains strong", says Annesley.
 
"Demand for property continues to exceed supply in many areas," he said, driven by low interest rates and population growth and "the desire for a sea change".

"Throughout the last 12 months, we have seen recent sale of 24 Brownell drive, Byron Bay, selling for $5,175,000, and 158 Lighthouse road, Byron Bay, selling for $6,200,000, and 39 Marine Parade, Byron Bay, selling for $8,000,000 in late 2016," said Annesley.

Expressions of interest close 3 February 2017, at 5.00 pm.
