Bangalow

Having lived in some of the most magnificent spots all over the world, the Sculptress and owner of this magical property knew she had found home when she discovered this 100 acre parcel of land at Bangalow, in the Byron Bay Hinterland some 12 years ago. Since then she has planted over 20,000 rainforest trees and created some of the most divine gardens the area has to offer and all set in a superbly private elevated north facing position.
Views to the Nightcap Ranges to the North are breathtaking from the vast lawns that roll around the original 100 year old federation style home, now playfully painted to reflect the owner’s love of the colours of the Caribbean Islands. Inside the main home is stylishly and immaculately presented and incorporates 4 good size bedrooms, 2 with ensuites. A lounge and sitting room form the central heart of the home and a wonderful country kitchen with its stable door entrance, butler’s pantry and enjoining larder or laundry are an entertainer’s dream. Wrap around verandas complete the style and are wonderful for taking in the views of the gardens and the surrounding hills.
The property also has an enormous bamboo forest known as the Bamboo Cathedral; a large spring fed dam; Possum Creek frontage; a sizeable work shed with manager’s quarters; a 2 bedroom cottage; a four bedroom house; an enormous function hall currently utilised for weddings; a tree house and a 20 metre lap pool with pool house accommodation beside the main house.
All of the dwellings are nicely spaced for privacy and beautifully positioned amongst the extensive gardens of the property. Paddymelon Ponds has been a true labour of love and passion for its current owner who is in the process of downsizing. It is a property with an abundance of space and potential where so much has already been achieved. It would make a substantial and wonderful family estate, or a Rural Tourism Facility (subject to council approvals) or Retreat and comes with Primary Production Status.
Paddymelon Ponds is on the market for offers over $6 million. To arrange an inspection of this truly unique estate please call Nicolette at Unique Estates on 1300 911 720.
