Perched high above Byron Bay along one of the hinterland's most tightly held ridgelines, 175 Coolamon Scenic Drive is a truly exceptional estate where the views are nothing short of breathtaking.
Offered to the market for the first time in 36 years, this remarkable 2.02-hectare (approximately 5-acre) property commands some of the most captivating panoramic vistas in the Byron Hinterland. From its elevated position approximately 550 feet above sea level, uninterrupted 180-degree views sweep across rolling green valleys to the sparkling Pacific Ocean, taking in the iconic Cape Byron Lighthouse, Byron Bay headland and Julian Rocks.
This is a property that celebrates the spectacle of nature every single day.
Awaken each morning to extraordinary sunrises as the first light emerges over the Pacific Ocean, illuminating Byron Bay's coastline in a constantly changing display of colour and brilliance. Watch the sun rise behind the famous lighthouse and dance across the ocean's surface while enjoying your morning coffee from the veranda. During whale migration season, the outlook becomes even more remarkable, with humpback whales regularly visible as they make their annual journey past Julian Rocks and Cape Byron.
As day turns to evening, the magic continues. Magnificent sunsets paint the hinterland and coastline in rich golds, soft pinks and fiery oranges, delivering an ever-changing natural masterpiece that few properties can offer. It is a place where every sunrise, every sunset and every season brings a new perspective on one of Australia's most celebrated coastal landscapes.
Simply put, the views here are extraordinary, uninterrupted and impossible to tire of.
The beautifully appointed five-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bathroom double-brick residence has been thoughtfully designed to maximise its spectacular setting. Oriented to capture cooling ocean breezes, abundant natural light and the stunning outlook from almost every room, the home offers effortless living immersed in nature.
Expansive floor-to-ceiling glazing frames the ocean and hinterland panoramas like living artwork, while generous open-plan interiors flow seamlessly onto wide verandas and multiple entertaining areas. Whether hosting family celebrations, intimate gatherings or simply enjoying the peace and privacy of the estate, every space has been designed to embrace the magnificent surroundings.
The kitchen forms the heart of the home, complemented by multiple living zones that provide flexibility for families, guests or those seeking a private retreat. Each bedroom enjoys a sense of calm and seclusion, with beautiful outlooks that reinforce the property's unique connection to the landscape.
Beyond the residence, the estate unfolds across five gently undulating acres of beautifully established grounds, lovingly nurtured and maintained over decades. Fern gully-style botanical gardens, expansive lawns, mature rainforest pockets and spectacular established landscaping create a private sanctuary that feels worlds away from everyday life.
This is a property where family and friends can truly live, play and relax without ever wanting to leave.
The 12-metre saltwater swimming pool enjoys a stunning setting within the gardens, while a full-sized floodlit tennis court and air-conditioned tennis pavilion with shower and toilet facilities provide year-round recreation. Multiple sheds and a separate studio offer excellent versatility for storage, creative pursuits, home business use or additional accommodation possibilities.
A flourishing boutique orchard features grapefruit, oranges, lemonade fruit, tangelo, kaffir lime, jaboticaba, mandarins, lychee and more, while approximately 250 mature Australian native cabinet timber trees add both environmental appeal and long-term value.
Sustainability is equally impressive, with a 13.5kW solar system, 12.5kW battery storage, four 5,000-gallon water tanks, an additional 2,000-litre tank servicing the tennis studio, an easement to a spring-fed dam and pure well water.
Rarely does a property combine such breathtaking natural beauty, absolute privacy, usable land, premium lifestyle amenities and one of the most iconic outlooks in the Byron Shire.
Why holiday anywhere else when every day feels like a holiday at home?
A true entertainer's paradise and family haven, this is an opportunity to secure a lovingly established and tightly held hinterland retreat where unforgettable memories are made against a backdrop of arguably some of the finest views in the Byron Bay region.
Private, peaceful and utterly captivating, this is Byron Hinterland living at its absolute best.
