Positioned a short stroll from Seven Mile Beach and with an incredible 450m of beach frontage, this Broken Head residence is nestled privately in lush, established landscaped grounds within the National Park on the outskirts of Byron Bay.

Prior to Ohana House being built, the land was once owned by the Smorgon family and previous to that, Paul Hogan and John ‘Strop’ Cornell. It now sits in a very private and tightly held enclave of other celebrity owners.

Ohana House was inspired by Richard Neutra’s celebrated Kaufmann Desert House in Palm Springs. The 22-acre (approx 8.99ha) property blurs the lines between indoor and outside spaces, to create an environment of sophisticated ease. 

With an extraordinary ability to host 28 guests, this is a home that can be intimate for a few or expand to host many. It focuses on a series of low pavilions, with shared walkways connecting the pavilions along with separate spaces for the children and guests, each with its own unique outdoor area.

“Ohana House is a bespoke pavilion style residence designed by signature architect Virginia Kerridge, interior designer Iain Halliday and construction by Bellevarde Constructions,” Deborah Cullen told LUXURY LIST WEEKEND.

“Set very privately on 22 acres, it has accommodation for 28 guests and a stunning 450m of beach frontage. This is a private retreat with every possible extra, including a tennis court and pavilion, basketball court and skate board ramp for extra entertainment facilities.”

The build by Bellevarde Constructions was driven by a very high level of craftsmanship and impeccable design. The low line of the roof keeps with the property’s functional response to the environment.

Covered walkways, decks, resort style pool, and outdoor elements have been flawlessly realised, and each courtyard area has been designed with a purpose in mind, including the children’s play area adjacent to their bedroom, the kitchen garden area accessible from the kitchen.

Interiors showcase a stunning array of luxurious textures such as the richness of the spotted gum meshed walkways that lead to the bedroom areas, earthy warmth of the immaculately finished plywood ceilings and walls in the living and kitchen areas, the open-sided walkways, with their fine steel columns, and the construction of the pool in off-form concrete that lends a lightness to its potentially imposing mass.

A caretaker’s or managers cottage on the rear of the property provides additional accommodation with a separate entrance.

Other facilities include a full-sized, fully fenced and floodlit tennis court with entertaining pavilion, covered outdoor gym, yoga or meditation space and large garden areas with a selection of beautiful art pieces and sculptures.
