From the elevated terrace of the picturesque property at 440 Bangalow Rd, Talofa, there are no prizes for guessing how the enviable estate got its name, Horizon.
The sweeping 360-degree vista overlooks the lush Byron hinterland below but also perfectly captures the famous stretch of coastline from the Gold Coast to the Cape Byron Lighthouse.
Just listed with McGrath Byron Bay’s Ian Daniels, Horizon is on the market with $30 million price expectations via an expressions of interest campaign closing on July 18.
Built by JS Henderson Builders in 2010, the 10ha property was later renovated and extended with a new contemporary wing designed by Byron creatives, Sam Zaher Architects.
Today, the private parcel boasts manicured park-like grounds, cleared pastures with ample potential, and an untouched biodiverse forest along its western border.
A resort-style private sanctuary, Horizon boasts a host of world-class leisure features, including a wellness zone and gym equipped with a sauna, steam room, and kitchenette, as well as a self-cleaning wet-edge swimming pool and spa. The rolling grounds are also home to a full-sized tennis court, a fruit orchard and a dam.
Inside the contemporary main residence, there are luxury finishes such as moody Belvedere granite surfaces, antique bronze tapware, granite floor tiles, lime-washed and handcrafted Venetian plaster walls.
Central to the unique expanded footprint, there is a state-of-the-art chef’s kitchen and butler’s pantry with a suite of high-end V-ZUG appliances including a wine cabinet, steam oven, induction cooktop with a teppanyaki plate and Pitt wok burners, as well as a Zip cold and sparkling water tap.
There are multiple living spaces for all occasions, such as a casual family room with vaulted ceilings, an Escea fireplace, a formal lounge area taking in the Byron backdrop, a home office, plus a cinema with tiered seating, wool theatre curtains and an L-Acoustics sound system.
For outdoor entertaining, the homeowner is spoilt for choice with several terraces, from a pergola facing the panorama to the pool terrace complete with a sound system.
All four bedrooms in the primary residence have lavish granite en-suites and built-in wardrobes, with the hotel suite-inspired main featuring a dressing room and mini bar.
Fit for staff, guests or a nanny, the separate two-storey self-contained cottage has two bedrooms, a full kitchen, a lounge area and a balcony.
Additional features include a four-car lock-up garage, one single garage and a carport, as well as solar panels, three batteries, and a private dam with an electric pump to the house and an automated garden irrigation system.
While Horizon holds its position in the tranquil hinterland flanked by nature, the sprawling property is approximately 10 minutes from Byron Bay’s restaurants, bars, boutiques and beaches. The property is also less than 30 minutes from Ballina Airport.

One of Sydney’s most tightly held beachfront estates has emerged on the market, with a landmark Newport holding offering buyers the chance to secure an irreplaceable slice of the Northern Beaches coastline.
Positioned directly on the sand at 11 Calvert Parade, Newport, the 967sqm estate is described as one of the most significant beachfront offerings to hit Sydney’s market in decades.
Set within an exclusive oceanfront enclave, the property pairs sweeping coastal views with direct private beach access and a substantial grassed frontage that appears to spill seamlessly into the shoreline beyond.
From the home, uninterrupted panoramas stretch across Newport Beach towards Bilgola Headland, with Newport Reef sitting prominently within the outlook.
The offering is expected to attract significant interest from buyers seeking a blue-chip weekender, a long-term family estate, or a future architectural statement.
Concept plans by acclaimed Northern Beaches architect Dan Raymond present a vision for a new luxury residence designed to capitalise on the site’s scale and prestige.
The property’s history is equally compelling.
Known as “Howth”, the original weatherboard residence was built circa 1930, with the name derived from the Irish word for “headland”. In later years, the home was held by the Jesuit Fathers and used as a peaceful retreat for clergy.
Today, much of that nostalgic coastal character remains intact.
The primarily single-level home features ocean views from the main living zone, while a wraparound dining room and adjoining sunroom open onto a large entertaining deck overlooking the water.
Accommodation includes a main bedroom with an ensuite, a spacious second bedroom, and an oversized loft-style retreat that could function as additional guest accommodation, a rumpus room, or studio space.
A galley-style kitchen, high ceilings, original timber floorboards and ducted air-conditioning add to the home’s immediate liveability, while a repurposed two-way fireplace offers the opportunity for restoration.
According to the campaign brief, there are only 66 comparable oceanfront properties across Sydney, making opportunities of this scale and position exceptionally rare.
Located moments from Newport village, cafes and surf breaks, the property is also being marketed as the last remaining opportunity of its kind along Newport Beach.
The property at 11 Calvert Parade, Newport, is listed via an expressions-of-interest campaign closing on June 8.
