107 Bates Road, Federal

Set across 29.8 acres of private Byron hinterland, Bates House is an exceptional estate defined by scale, seclusion and enduring natural beauty. More than a luxury residence, it is a significant landholding in one of Australia’s most tightly held lifestyle regions — a private sanctuary to enjoy now and preserve for generations.

The sense of escape begins with a long, tree-lined approach winding through rainforest before revealing the residence in its secluded setting. Expansive lawns, established greenery and beautiful hinterland views create an extraordinary sense of arrival, while Federal village and the wider Byron region remain within easy reach.

At the heart of the estate is an impressive pavilion-style residence offering approximately 500sqm of living. Blackbutt shiplap cladding brings warmth and texture, while soaring cathedral ceilings, polished timber floors and expansive interiors create a relaxed sense of scale. Multiple living zones provide generous space for family and guests to gather or retreat in privacy.

The kitchen and principal living spaces open naturally to outdoor entertaining, with a substantial stone island, European appliances and butler’s pantry creating an elegant social heart. Beyond, a spectacular 14-metre mineral infinity pool forms the centrepiece for long summer days and relaxed entertaining immersed in the tranquillity of the hinterland.

Accommodation includes a private main suite with deck access, walk-through robe and ensuite, complemented by three additional bedrooms and two bathrooms. A home office or fifth bedroom, separate media room and home gym provide further flexibility for family life and extended stays.

Substantial infrastructure supports a more self-sufficient lifestyle, including solar generation with extensive battery storage, generator backup, filtered water, approximately 100,000 litres of water storage and a registered bore. Ducted heating and cooling provide year-round comfort.

Bates House is ultimately a place to escape, gather and reconnect — a private family retreat where generations can come together. When not in private use, there is also flexibility to generate premium holiday accommodation income.

Homes can be transformed, but landholdings of this scale, privacy and position cannot be recreated. Bates House represents a rare opportunity to secure a significant Byron hinterland estate of enduring lifestyle and legacy value.
