EOI Guide on Request, Close Thurs 22 Oct 5pm
Set across 26 acres of rolling countryside, 'Caloola' is a magnificent private estate where a beautifully preserved c.1920s Queenslander meets an extraordinary natural landscape, elevated above gardens, paddocks and rainforest, yet just minutes from Federal village and within easy reach of Bangalow and Byron Bay.
A sealed driveway leads you to the main residence, a character-filled homestead that masterfully balances heritage charm with modern luxury. Inside, the home unfolds with an immediate sense of warmth and scale, defined by grand ceilings, rich polished timber floors, and expansive verandahs that invite the outdoors in. The living space features an ornate wood-burning fireplace for cozy winter evenings, seamlessly complemented by air conditioning for year-round comfort.
Set at a private distance from the homestead, 'The Dairy Bales Guest House' serves as a council-approved second dwelling. Built on the footprint of the estate's original working dairy, this premium guest house mirrors the main home's architectural elegance with its own high ceilings, timber flooring, and wide decks framing panoramic valley views. Offering lucrative, established Airbnb income or a flexible retreat for extended family, its story is beautifully completed by the adjacent former milk can shed, now lovingly transformed into a light-filled greenhouse retreat using rescued windows from a historic local school.
The grounds offer a rare collection of natural beauty and premium lifestyle features, showcasing a heated plunge pool nestled in tropical gardens, two spring-fed dams, a flowing creek, and a picturesque lake complete with a private pontoon. A peaceful rainforest walk winds from the house down to the water, where you can admire your own secluded waterfall and spot the resident platypus community at dawn and dusk. A thriving orchard, vibrant vegetable garden and a large chicken coop add to the estate's sustainable charm.
Beyond the grounds, open paddocks perfectly suit horses or cattle, while a separate rainforest parcel featuring its own road access, offers real potential for additional accommodation and income. Robust supporting infrastructure includes a large, three-bay powered machinery shed with a loading dock while a premium 14kW solar system with 24kW of battery storage future-proofs the home by effortlessly meeting its modern power needs.
Caloola perfectly balances secluded privacy with exceptional connectedness, just moments from the region's most beloved local hubs: Federal village and Doma Café (approx. 3 min), Coorabell Public School (approx. 7 min), Bangalow (approx. 15 min), and Byron Bay (approx. 20 min).
