Forget Byron Bay. This is the home of quiet luxury
This little known pocket of paradise is attracting attention, for all the right reasons
2 min
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.

The construction sector is roaring back to life in some Australian states while others languish in the doldrums

The home building market is on the rebound as building approvals rise, new data reveals.
Information from the Australian Bureau of Statistics shows that the total number of dwellings approved in August was up 7 percent seasonally adjusted, with apartments leading the way.
Private sector house approvals gained 5.8 percent in August while private sector residences excluding houses were up 9.4 percent. This follows on from a decrease of 14.6 percent in July and indicates a solid recovery in the Australian construction sector as the end of the year approaches.
Approvals for total dwellings were strongest in the two largest states, with Victoria recording a rise of 22.2 percent and NSW 12.5 percent. Western Australia also saw a significant rise of 12.3 percent.
In Queensland, the results were less positive for the sector, with total dwelling approvals falling by -26.9 percent. Tasmania also experienced a drop in approvals in August, down -10.1 percent and South Australia -6.9 percent.
