“Yarraga is a truly a magnificent estate,” Denzil Lloyd told LUXURY LIST WEEKEND. 

“As you approach the 1907 homestead you will pass macadamia and citrus orchards, blackbutt forest plantations, formal topiary, scented and oriental bamboo gardens. The landscaping is designed to be enjoyed from the many vantage points of the home’s wide wraparound verandas.”

“Elsewhere, there is a gingerbread guest cottage, horse paddocks and open pasture with both ocean and sunset views over the Nightcap National Park. Ultimately, this timeless property offers absolute peace and privacy whilst conjuring a feeling of old world enchantment with a luxurious flourish.”

The stunning 4 bedroom, 4 bathroom beautifully restored main house has a fascinating history, originally designed by architects Popplewell and Skyes for the Yabsley family, founders of historic port town Coraki, in northern New South Wales.

Various families occupied the house before it was sold to Amanda and Theo Poteris in 1994, who moved it in three sections to their 40-acre property near Federal.  After spending 15 years renovating and planting gardens and forests, it was sold again in 2001 for a new life being leased as luxury accommodation in the Byron hinterland.

Now one of the finest homes in the area, interiors feature period details like 13-foot ceilings, stained glass windows, ornate fretwork, hardwood floors and wide decks, which combine effortlessly with stunning interior design, quality fixtures and fittings, and gorgeous bold tile and lighting choices to create sumptuous spaces which exude style and warmth.

The cottage has also been completely renovated with new drainage, gas, hot water, polished concrete floors, handmade staircase, and luxury appliances.

The impressive pool and European pergola covered in vibrant wisteria are the perfect centre piece for relaxed outdoor living surrounded by stunning established gardens and trees. Curated over decades, the landscaping embraces the beauty of each season with rose gardens, scented topiary, an income producing macadamia orchard and enchanting oriental bamboo gardens and ponds, ideal for yoga.
