A rare parcel of Byron Bay is primed to hit the market this week along the glamorous holiday spot’s priciest stretch of sand – Belongil Beach.
The designer digs belong to Leah and Kurt Rettenmaier, head of digital asset investment firm Revolution Tech. The couple have listed their Byron Bay hideaway, which sits on Childe St and has two waterfronts, for $35 million with Kim Jones of Jones & Co Real Estate.
The Rettenmaiers bought an original beach house on the 1776sq m block back in 2016 for $3.6 million, according to title records, and then reimagined the unique property into a sleek boho retreat worthy of its multimillion-dollar price tag.
The three-bedroom, two-bathroom compound at 4 Childe St sits at the end of the enviable strip, which is bordered on three sides by Belongil Beach, the Belongil Creek and uninterrupted bushland teeming with native flora and fauna.
In addition to the natural neighbours, the property is also surrounded by VIP residents in the exclusive peninsula, including Chemist Warehouse boss Damien Gance and Sasha Robertson.
If the Rettenmaiers and Jones achieve their $35 million goal, the newest listing could break the Byron price barrier of $33.5 million set by the Gance-Robertsons earlier this year.
Jones is also reportedly the agent behind the current Far North Coast record of $37 million. That deal was struck when Tom and Emma Lane of Oroton handbag fame bought their property, The Range, in nearby Coopers Shoot.
The primary two-bedroom residence is home to rendered white walls with integrated shelving and statement archways reminiscent of the uniquely smooth lines of the Greek Isles. The flowing curved interiors also reflect the calming contours of the coastal landscape on the home’s doorstep.
Designed for entertaining inside and out, the property features a spacious covered alfresco area with a built-in barbecue, manicured lawns, a bespoke fire pit and a private self-contained studio with an outdoor claw-foot bathtub.
Even kids – big or small – have room to play with a fun built-in skate ramp and an expansive beachfront lawn with sweeping views over the bay, Julian Rocks and the iconic Cape Byron Lighthouse.
The dream has space to thrive with architect-designed plans for a more contemporary beach house (STCA).
Perfectly positioned for surfing at coveted Belongil Beach, or kayaking and stand up paddle boarding along the creek, the home’s prized location is within 600m of Treehouse restaurant, is a six-minute walk to the heart of Byron Bay and approximately half an hour to the Ballina/Byron Gateway Airport, or less than an hour to the Gold Coast Airport.
The dual aspect home at 4 Childe St, Byron Bay, is listed with Kim Jones of Jones & Co with price expectations of about $35 million.

The 7,145-square-foot apartment, with European-inspired interiors, hasn’t traded hands since it was built in 2008.

A Denver condo that hit the market earlier this week for $16 million is now the Mile High City’s most expensive listing.
The new listing by far beats the next-priciest home for sale, a condo in a new development that was put on the market at the beginning of the year for about $9.79 million.
The city’s most expensive single-family home is asking just shy of $9 million—the metro area’s priciest single-family homes tend to be in the Cherry Hills Village suburb.
At 7,145 square feet, the newly listed unit is nearly double the size of the one in the new development and more on par with the size of some of Denver’s most expensive single-family homes.
It’s on the top floor of a seven-story mixed-use building that was built in 2008 in the Cherry Creek neighbourhood, one of the most affluent areas of the city.
The last time the three-bedroom apartment sold was before it was even completed, though it’s been owned under a few different LLCs and trusts.
The seller, who Mansion Global wasn’t able to identify, bought the condo from the developer in September 2007 for $4.047 million, records show.
The design of the interiors is European-inspired, with decorative columns, elaborate millwork and ornate built-ins.
Plus, there’s a mahogany-clad study, a formal dining room that seats up to 30 guests and views of mountains and Denver Country Club’s golf course.
A private terrace adds 1,230 square feet of outdoor living space and features a fireplace and a built-in barbecue, according to the listing with Josh Behr of LIV Sotheby’s International Realty.
A representative for Behr didn’t respond to a request for comment.
