This uniquely stunning home is like no other in the hills behind Byron Bay. Awarded Best Property Australia in the 2009 CNBC International Property Awards and receiving a 2008 award from the Australian Institute of Architects NSW Country Division, the home is an outstanding example of a perfect balance between form and function.
Poised on a ‘green field’ site, the home captures some of the most breathtaking Byron hinterland valley views. Set on 10.39 ha (25.67 acres) near the village of Federal, Amileka is only 20 minutes from Byron Bay. Aside from the original 3 bedroom farm house with its own swimming pool and some 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 and 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 valley views and overlook the 18m x 5m fully 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. There are 5 bedrooms one that could be used as an 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 and has insulated underfloor solar hydronic heating and solar hot water. There is also a 70m bore, 2 spring fed dams, a windmill and primary production status from either trees, cattle, the garden or adjustment of land for grazing or horticulture.
