Perched atop a stunning knoll surrounded by 84 acres (approx. 34 ha), this premier Byron Bay hinterland estate offers a grand and meticulously designed family home with stunning northerly views over lush valleys to the Nightcap Ranges beyond. 

Named Cedarvale, the home was crafted by John Gray from Archimages to embrace modern living. The smart design provides for a sense of space, comfortability and resort-style surroundings, with open plan spaces, high ceilings, huge open entry ways, parquetry flooring, and wide corridors leading to the accommodation suites.

The property is owned by well-known local Byron Bay identities John Bennett and Jennifer Regan, who purchased the vacant farm “in a rough state” over 20 years ago from current selling agent David Gordon of Ray White Byron Bay. 

Speaking to LUXURY LIST WEEKEND, David said, “We found it after an extensive search for the right property and they then began a 21-year love affair with building a family home and improving every aspect of the property.”

“There’s a lot to love about Cedarvale, but its sense of spaciousness, privacy and stunning views are what sets it apart from other estates,” David told LUXURY LIST WEEKEND.

“Buyers will love that it is extremely well located to town and the beaches, yet very private.”

“The design of the home allows for indoor and outdoor entertaining and flow. There’s a sense of connecting with the rural landscape without being on a large farm,” he explained.

As you would expect to find in a lavish country estate, the approx. 420 sqm home offers expansive entertaining areas which have hosted many community functions, as well as a list of impressive attributes including a 17m metre pool with terrace which soaks up the north aspect and views, a tennis court, helicopter landing area, a separate two-bedroom tiny house for guests, and a rustic cabin. 

The design of the home places an emphasis on providing easy living for either a large family or to cater for numerous guests, with a vast living area that extends out to the terrace and seamless integration between indoor and outdoor living.

Beautiful Tim Hays Garden Design landscaping features a water flow pond and waterfall with a meandering fully-lit quartz path leading to meeting circles, giant fig trees, patches of rainforest and a wonderful array of tropical plants. The gardens are dotted with a collection of sculptures that have been collected from local artists and are to be included in the sale.

“From a blank canvas of cow paddocks with just a few scattered trees, clients John and Jennifer and I created a beautiful garden with the best and most interesting plants that grow well in the Northern Rivers region,” Tim Hays told LUXURY LIST WEEKEND.

“Helped by the rich red soil, we wrapped extensive low maintenance gardens around a fabulous house, built by experienced craftsmen with the best materials. Throw in the magnificence of the views and you end up with a unique and stunning creation that I’m proud to say I was part of.”

The seven-bedroom residence has a perfect due north aspect with views spanning out over lush farmland and undulating green pastures.

The main bedroom suite is centrally located yet extremely private with its own beautifully appointed massive bathroom and outdoor shower. There are four more bedrooms including two bathrooms all enjoying access to the gardens. Two of the bedrooms are currently occupied as studies and overlook indoor ponds and out to the magnificent hinterland scenery. 

The spacious laundry has its own drying alcove, there is a huge three car garage with mezzanine storage and a 200,000 litre water storage facility with an ultrafiltration system.

Located just 4 minutes from Bangalow and 12 minutes from Byron Bay, the incredibly private estate offers easy access to the M1 to either Ballina or the Gold Coast airports.
