Summary: "The Plateau" 50 acres of seclusion
Description: The Plateau sits only 3.5 kms drive from the historic village of Federal in the lush hinterland of Byron Bay. This substantial property is 20.24 hectares (approximately 50 acres) with deep red volcanic soil and a mixture of open fields and wooded areas. Elevation combined with a considerable proportion of near level land is an extremely attractive and desirable feature of this property, and with selected clearing some of the best views in the region can be realised. On the western side of The Plateau, the views to Condong Falls are exceptional. A cedar shack was built in the early 1980's, the location being a most glorious positioning for a new home in keeping with the environment (STCA). The remaining acreage is steeper with access on the opposite side of Bates Road making it perfect for the new owner to focus on as a stand-alone re-gen rainforest with access to a large dam. Originally part of the Bates family dairy farm in the early 1900's, then following the dairy industry it then became top quality cattle country. Over the last thirty plus years the property has been left to be a place of peace for native wildlife. The current owners have now reluctantly decided after 47 years that it is time to pass The Plateau onto someone who will have the vison to retain the property as a refuge for native animals and birdlife to flourish and feel safe in their hidden sanctuary along with a lifestyle of peace and beauty for its new owner. Yes, The Plateau requires work - work that will result in a beautiful hinterland retreat. - Substantial acreage in short supply - Easy 5 minute drive to Federal Village - 20 minutes' drive to Bangalow and Mullumbimby - 30 minutes' drive to Byron Bay - Numerous potential building sites (STCA) - Elevated land with ample level acreage - Mains power already connected to property

Description: Set high on a ridge in the hills of Byron Bay, this beautiful five acre property has laid the groundwork for an idyllic country lifestyle with coastal views.

It has been carefully designed to take full advantage of dramatic hinterland views, with the living area featuring a row of floor-to-ceiling windows looking across the property to the Nightcap Ranges beyond.

Established gardens include citrus grove, mango, avocado, pecan and mulberry trees; rainforest remnant. Dwellings are perfectly positioned to ensure privacy from one another. Ultimate serenity and easy access to nature with Minyon Falls, Goonengerry National Park and Nightcap National Park close by. Easy 5 minute walk to Goonengerry Public School.
