Sprawling smart home with Private Botanic Garden in sought-after Byron Bay
When it comes to listing a unique property, theres rare and then there is Glenbrook Estate, in Byron Bay.
Located at 173 McGettigans Lane in Ewingsdale Byron Bays most sought-after enclave this 9-bedroom, 7.5 bathroom property boasts every imaginable amenity to live, work, play, relax and entertain.
From its sliding gate entrance and long, winding driveway, youll be quickly transported to a sanctuary full of inspiration and possibility.
Situated on 2.5 level acres (10,020sqm), Glenbrook includes a sprawling main residence and self-contained guest wing with separate guest house and guest studio (each with their own entrance), a games/fitness room surrounded by multiple entertaining and relaxation zones all providing unlimited potential to create the lifestyle of your dreams.
This architecturally-designed, smart home is purpose-built for entertaining and designed to maximise the propertys north-east facing aspect. Main liveable areas are soaked in morning sunlight while the western wing, which is where youll find the bedrooms, benefit from afternoon light.
Passive design features, which include louvres and expansive windows, take advantage of natural sources of heating and cooling, such as sun and breezes, to minimise unwanted heat gain and loss.
The spacious master bedroom has the added luxury of a resort-style ensuite with private outdoor shower and garden, and a freestanding bath with pot belly stove to add to the charm.
With appliances, ecosystems and wireless communications now commonplace, the existing owners have created a fully integrated, functional smart home to ensure your investment stands the test of time. This includes a dedicated network for smart home devices, new satellite and Category 6 ethernet cable, to name a few.
Outdoor oasis
The main residence overlooks multiple entertainment and relaxation zones, including a 17-metre, glass mosaic tiled swimming pool (with custom-built slide), outdoor fire pit, and massive travertine paved pool deck that is an entertainers dream. The entire pool area is framed by sleek, frameless glass fencing that provides unobstructed views of the lush green lawns and district views.
Youll find a gorgeous shaded area with a swing seat at the northern end of the lawn, which is the perfect place to read a book as the kids play cricket.
All of this is viewable from multiple areas of the residence thanks to bi-fold glass doors and Transom windows above the door and window frames that maximise every aspect from the eastern side of the main residence!
Private Botanical Garden
It has been a shared passion of the owners over the years to create and maintain Byron Bays only indigenous, coastal living tree museum. Known as an arboretum, it is devoted to growing trees for conservation, scientific research or educational purposes. It has an incredibly high biodiversity for its size, boasting 137 native and six threatened species, among many other mapped trees.
Every tree, most over 100-years old, has been painstakingly documented on a plaque, providing significant cultural value for the region. It not only attracts local fauna but provides a truly unique experience for visitors and guests as they meander along the propertys rainforest walkways.
Location, location, location
When surrounded by so much natural beauty, its easy to forget youre only five minutes drive from the beaches of Belongil and Byron Bay. Once youre in town, everything is in easy walking distance, including restaurants, caf?s, boutiques, and the stunning Cape Byron Walking Track that leads to the iconic Byron Bay lighthouse on Australias most eastern point.
Locals in the know just have to duck around the corner to The Farm Byron Bay for a delicious loaf of The Bread Socials freshly baked sourdough with their morning coffee.
Another key aspect this incredible location is its easy access to the entire hinterland (Bangalow, Mullumbimby, Federal), Brunswick Heads, and both airports (Ballina Byron Gateway and Gold Coast International).
There's also an impressive selection of schools in the area, with Cape Byron Rudolph Steiner School conveniently just up the road and the school run bus service for Lindisfarne Anglican Grammar School nearby.
Tight-knit country community
Known as the gateway to Byron Bay, Ewingsdale has a vibrant, inclusive community and rich history.
With only one road in and out, it has all the old-school country charm youd expect think friendly waves as you drive past your neighbours, seeing families riding around on their bikes, and attending local events at the heritage-listed Ewingsdale Hall.
