PROPERTY PREVIEW
Quintessentially Byron One of Byron Bay’s most stunning homes. WITH ARGUABLY the best location in the region, this architecturally-designed five bedroom home boasts sweeping views over ‘The Pass’, Byron Bay’s most beautiful beach, and beyond to ‘Julian Rocks’. You can also see across to the beautiful hinterland and Mount Warning in the distance. “The home is the last along the coastline, before Rae’s and Wategos Beach,” explains owner Susie Brockhoff. “It’s considered to be the best coastal position in Byron Bay.” Over a period of 20 years, Susie has extensively renovated the home, taking particular care to ensure that environmentally conscious measures have been implemented at every turn. “Those lucky enough to call Byron Bay home have a deep awareness of protecting this beautiful region. That was a big part of what attracted me to Byron Bay more than 20 years ago,” says Susie. “It was important to me to create not only a wonderful home, set in one of Australia’s most beautiful regions, I wanted to create a home that left as light a carbon footprint as possible.” To power the magnificent home, there are 22 solar panels, with the system backed up by the latest, top of the range battery system. Importantly, the house is sited due North, the

Everything from the paint on the walls to the flooring feature only the highest quality eco-friendly materials. There are two gardens, each fully irrigated, as well as town water and four 3,000 litre water tanks. To add to the coastal views and the natural bush setting, the home is set high in the treetops, surrounded on three sides by national park. This setting ensures views and privacy plus a protected setting for native wildlife and birdlife.
