Offering privacy and tranquillity, “Kookaburra” is a rare prestige oasis set on 100 acres (approx. 40 ha) in the verdant hinterland of Byron Shire.

Enjoying an elevated position with expansive tropical forest and country vistas, this Goonengerry estate that was once a 1900′s dairy and cattle farm, brims with character and charm.

With its Asian-inspired architecture, the main house imbues a sense of calm and warmth from its exquisite timber features to soaring ceilings. The attention to detail is evident in each room with artisanal touches throughout – the house often being described as a work of art with its use of rich textures from recycled timbers to handmade tiles and luxury finishes.

Framing the house is a stunning cultivated garden, citrus orchard, fruit trees, epiphyte orchids and a netted vegetable garden. Beyond the garden are approximately 80 acres of regenerated forest, featuring some of the most significant remnant rainforest in the region.

The warmth of the house is extended to the two separate multi-purpose studios and an impressive outdoor pavilion that incorporates hand carved local sandstone plinths and timber posts. The property offers a multitude of living and entertaining areas and also features a 15-metre lap pool with picturesque views.

The estate can be conveniently accessed by car from Ballina Airport (40 minutes) or Coolangatta Airport (60 mins).
