An established Heritage Farm Stay Estate, there is a total of 4.86 hectares (11.98 acres) of fenced, glorious gardens with established trees, and a total of five residences that make up this iconic Byron Bay property.
Located 6km from Byron Bay’s CBD and Main Beach, there are so many attractions within minutes’ away, including the heritage hinterland village of Bangalow, Brunswick Heads and Mullumbimby within 10 minutes’ drive, and the famed Three Blue Ducks at “The Farm”, being less than two minutes’ drive.
The entrance to the estate is via automatic gates, 500 metres from the M1 at the main Byron Bay roundabout.
The commercial or private potential of this property is as impressive as it is varied.
Set within beautiful gardens, there is a total of five residences, all beautifully designed and all newly built (except the renovated Historic Barn). Though all new builds, much of the materials (such as the antique doors and windows) have been meticulously sourced, to create the stylish, vintage-inspired, country dwellings.
Importantly, all accommodation dwellings feature a range of contemporary comforts and including air-conditioned for year-round comfort.
THE MAIN FEDERATION HERITAGE ESTATE RESIDENCE is comprised of 5-bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms and is fully air-conditioned with two ducted A/C units.
THE SUNSET COTTAGE features 2 bedrooms, 1-bathroom and is also air-conditioned.
THE HISTORIC BARN STAY has 2 bedrooms, 1-bathroom, it is essentially a converted barn dwelling with a woodburning fireplace and air-conditioning.
THE VISIONARY VILLA is a stylish 1 bedroom, 1-bathroom villa that also doubles as a commercial art studio.
Named THE SWANKY SHED, this 4-bedroom, 1-bathroom dual occupancy residence has three air-conditioned units to ensure all sections of the stylishly converted shed are comfortable, year-round.
THE CABANA is a 60 square metre dwelling that has one bathroom with an outdoor H/C shower.
THE CURRENT BUSINESS OPERATION
Currently operating as “Tooraloo Farm & Boutique Resort”, the estate provides high-end farm-style accommodation, as well as operating as a popular event venue. Under the current DA, the Accommodation guests can enjoy their wedding in one of Byron Bay’s most beautiful rural settings.
The Estate’s 1910s original Federation owners’ home has been fully restored to its former grandeur, complete with all the modern conveniences expected of an impressive contemporary residence. The main residence could potentially provide VIP accommodation, if the estate continues to operate commercially, alternatively, the fully renovated, charming, original homestead could provide an impressive main residence for the new owner.
This gated private estate in the last decade has been carefully planned and fastidiously designed to become one of the region’s leading commercial establishments. Built the highest possible standards.
All the orchards, vegetable and herb gardens, plus the native vegetation are complemented by the new, nine-metre swimming pool. Featuring a variety of spectacular gardens, plus a range of citrus trees and rose gardens, there are some stunning established native trees, including a famed, massive Fig Tree, that is one of the Estate’s more beloved attractions, as the ancient tree has served as a romantic, natural ‘chapel’ for many happy couples.
The Estate’s glamourous amenities are constantly in demand, especially as the region’s fame as a world-class wedding and events destination continues to grow both nationally and internationally. The utilities and services are of the highest standard, with technologies incorporated into all aspects of the operation to ensure a sophisticated, highly systemised business.
THE ESTATE’S CURRENT ANNUAL INCOME
With its range of accommodation, the ancient fig tree cathedral, manicured gardens, and orchards, swimming pool and many other attributes, this estate is obviously a popular wedding venue, but it is also a popular setting for films sets, professional photoshoots, and wedding and other significant life events.
