Federal

This unique contemporary home is one of a kind, awarded Best Property Australia in the 2009 CNBC International Property Awards and also receiving a 2008 architecture award from the Australian Institute of Architects NSW Country Division.

Its owner, who also happens to be the architect, is ready to move on to design her next project. Perfectly placed on a ‘green field’ site, the home captures breathtaking Byron Hinterland valley views.

Set on 25 acres near the village of Federal, Amileka is only 20 minutes from Byron Bay. Apart from the original 3 bedroom farm house with its own swimming pool and converted dairy bails perfect as an artist’s studio, the main house is definitely the star attraction.

Designed without compromise with robust innovative industrial and commercial detailing, Amileka retains comfort and luxury.

The indoor/outdoor spaces have equal importance and connect seamlessly. Spaces and elements can be operated and manipulated to suit season, time of day, and the number of people using the space.

Large expansive living areas take in the views and overlook the 18m x 5m tiled in-ground pool. There is an open fire, a sunken lounge and a fantastic indoor outdoor entertaining area with built in BBQ.

There is also a fire pit in the Northern lawn overlooking the pool. The kitchen is divided into two sections one is minimalist and sleek and melds perfectly into the living areas; the other is ideal for storage & preparation.

There are 5 bedrooms one currently used as a separate office.

The master bedroom has a sunken tub, expansive wet area, 2 shower heads and amazing views.

The home is designed to maximise cool breezes, has insulated underfloor sola hydronic heating and solar hot water.

There is also a 70m bore, 2 spring fed dams and a timber plantation providing primary production status.
