Timeless Classic - Byron Bay Hinterland

"Glenlyon" This sophisticated home seamlessly blends timeless style with contemporary features to invite a fresh perspective throughout.
Arguably one of the finest homes in the Byron Shire, the history of Glenlyon dates back well over a century to 1882 when this grand homestead was originally built using timbers milled from the property.
The stunning home has transitioned to the new age gracefully, enjoying a host of modern amenities while maintaining the features which celebrate the drama and romance of its origins, and the time-honoured design elements of symmetry, balance and composition.
Classic opulence and luxury combine with sleek, modern styling and finishes in this comfortable, elegant home.
With a dedication to quality, the four-bedroom, two-bathrooms home has been designed with high spec features and finishes, and an incredible attention to detail throughout.
The epitome of sophisticated country living, the home is at once a contemporary classic and a timeless masterpiece, with features including beautiful exotic timber floorboards, ornate cornices and ceiling roses, two fireplaces and soaring 15 ft ceilings. Throughout the home, the lighting is yet another exceptional feature, custom-designed to bring originality and ambience to every room.
Wrap around verandahs take full advantage of the perfect Northerly aspect of this 5.71-hectare (approximately 14 acre) property.
Modern conveniences such as Daikin ducted reverse cycle air conditioning, 5kw Trina solar power, NBN/Foxtel, and a water filtration system offering UV/calcite/carbon/reverse osmosis ensure this home is as comfortable as it is elegant.
No detail has been overlooked, from country kitchen with Miele dishwasher, to the charming and relaxing sitting room, to the sumptuous master bedroom with a striking bespoke wardrobe and exquisite jewelry-box style ensuite bathroom which was designed by the owner and fitted with Perrin and Rowe English tap wear and heated towel rail, as well as a unique marble sink and Indian inlay vanity.
Upstairs there is another hidden gem - a spacious attic retreat with a bedroom and private living space, perfect for guests, teenagers or even an income-generating Airbnb option.
The property features three-car accommodation, a large separate air-conditioned studio, storage shed, horse stable and workshop.
With unprecedented water security, the property features an endless supply with a running creek, 75,000 litre water tanks and unlimited external water source pumped to the property on demand from a local lagoon. There is also an organic septic waste system.
The irrigated mature and indigenous garden features hand-planted white bottle brushes, and 180 lilli pillis planted along the boundary. There is also a boutique citrus orchard and a spectacular array of trees which have graced the property for over 100 years including magnolia, coolamon, poinciana, mango and frangipani. The magnificent garden night lighting creates a spectacular scene when the sun goes down.
The property is fully-fenced, with dog fencing, horse paddocks, and termite monitoring stations.
Glenlyon is perfectly positioned in the heart of the Byron Shire just five mins to Mullumbimby, 10 mins Brunswick Heads, 20 mins Byron Bay, 30 mins to Byron Ballina Airport and 40 mins to Gold Coast International Airport.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a unique historic homestead in one of the Northern River's most sought-after locations.
