Forget Byron Bay. This is the home of quiet luxury

Byron Bay may steal all the headlines but those in the know understand that, back from the beach, it’s the hinterland drawing the discerning buyers with deep pockets.

This property at 20 Wood Crescent sits on 2 acres at Coopers Shoot offers drop dead gorgeous views of undulating hills in a luxury environment.

Fittingly called The Retreat, the boomerang-shaped floorplan includes four bedrooms (one in a self-contained space on the lower ground floor), three bathrooms and multiple living spaces. Central to the design is the spacious open plan living area, with a well-appointed kitchen offering a commanding view of the generous alfresco space and heated infinity edge pool outside. The kitchen is kitted out with a Liebherr fridge/freezer, Miele oven and dishwasher and is serviced by a butler’s pantry with Zip tap, making it ideal for catering or quiet nights at home.

The property has everything you would expect from a luxury home, including a cinema room with surround sound Krix speakers and full HD Epson projector. The light-filled master suite offers views over the valley and includes a day-spa style ensuite, dual walk-in robes and direct access to the deck. An automated irrigation system takes care of the garden

But perhaps the greatest luxury for those with sustainability in mind are the renewable energy features, which include a generous 31kw solar system, 160 kw battery and Tesla charging station.

Just 10 minutes to beautiful Bangalow or central Byron Bay, you’re never far from the action. At the same time, Starlink internet and separate workshop and office spaces give you the option to work from home whenever the mood takes.

Quiet luxury indeed.

Mirvac has topped out Trielle at Melbourne’s Yarra’s Edge, with more than 70 per cent of the riverfront development sold and approximately 80 per cent of purchasers intending to make their apartment a home.

The figures, released on September 22, point to an owner-occupier audience for one of the precinct’s final residential towers. Mirvac began developing Yarra’s Edge in 2003, and its latest addition occupies one of the remaining absolute riverfront sites.

Mirvac CEO of Development Stuart Penklis said existing residents were among those moving up within the neighbourhood.

“Many purchasers already have a connection to Yarra’s Edge,” Mr Penklis said, describing buyers whose changing needs were encouraging an upgrade within the precinct.

“As one of the final residential towers within Yarra’s Edge, Trielle represents the culmination of more than two decades of creating one of Melbourne’s most established and sought-after waterfront communities,” Penklis said.

“Positioned on the Collins Street axis with absolute river frontage, Trielle offers residents a rare opportunity to enjoy sweeping views across the Yarra River, Melbourne skyline and Port Phillip Bay, while remaining seamlessly connected to the CBD. With Trielle now more than 70 per cent sold, we’re continuing to see strong demand from buyers seeking quality homes in established locations.”

The developer also flagged a penthouse and sub-penthouse collection with larger layouts, premium finishes and broad outlooks. The planned wellness centrepiece, The Oasis, encompasses a 900-square-metre elevated urban rainforest.

Mirvac General Manager Residential Development Victoria Elysa Anderson said Trielle had resonated strongly with buyers seeking a rare lifestyle offering in Melbourne.

“Opportunities to secure a new luxury residence on a riverfront site of this calibre are incredibly rare, particularly within a community like Yarra’s Edge,” Anderson said.

“What makes Trielle unique is the combination of exceptional views, world-class residential facilities and the lifestyle that already exists around it. Residents are buying into a mature waterfront community with parks, promenades, dining, wellness and strong community connections already in place.”

The 45-level tower brings a substantial new presence to that waterfront. Its residential offering spans one-, two-, three- and four-bedroom apartments, with Signature, Prestige and Sub-Penthouse collections accommodating different household sizes. The north-facing position connects the apartments visually to the river and city beyond.

Seven storeys above the promenade, the planned Oasis combines planting and a running stream with a Scandinavian-inspired wellness club developed with spa specialist Naomi Gregory. Facilities include a 25-metre lap pool, hot magnesium pool, sauna, hydrotherapy, a gym, yoga and Pilates room, and treatment spaces.

The amenity extends beyond exercise. Residents will have access to The Biblioteca library and workspaces, ground-floor work pods, and The Salone piano lounge. A private Chef’s Table dining room offers a setting for larger gatherings, while a cinema, games room and sports lounge broaden the entertaining options. Concierge services and a dog-wash area support everyday routines.

Trielle comprises a collection of one, two, three and four-bedroom residences. Reflecting strong demand from owner occupiers, approximately 80 per cent of purchasers to date intend to live in their homes, highlighting the project’s appeal to those seeking a long-term waterfront lifestyle.

Mirvac has recently delivered The Albertine, a premium apartment development on the edge of Melbourne’s CBD, and is nearing completion of Prince & Parade in Brunswick, further strengthening its portfolio of thoughtfully designed apartment communities in some of Melbourne’s most sought-after urban locations.
