‘Paperbark’ ....a dream come true

Paperbark is an exceptionally rare property that would leave even the most discerning buyer more than satisfied. Situated on 40 acres of lush green paddocks which include a huge spring fed dam; stunning tropical gardens and a 560 metre airstrip, the 1000 sqm home features a state of the art kitchen; 5 ensuited bedrooms; an office; a huge games room; wine cellar for 900 bottles; a 10 seater cinema; a fully equipped gymnasium with steam room; an enormous machinery shed; 2 aircraft hangars; a helicopter landing pad; a 1 bedroom manager’s residence and a beautiful pool with Balinese cabana and 10 seater spa. Located in one of the most sought after regions on the east coast of Australia; just 5 minutes from Seven Mile beach at Lennox Head; 10 minutes from the famous beaches at Byron Bay and only 45 minutes from the Gold Coast and Coolangatta International airport; this is a property that deserves your attention.

A large dam is a central feature of the perfectly flat lush 40 acre property. It creates a magically calming outlook from the main residence and is 4-5 metres deep and stocked with freshwater cod.

An impressive gated entrance greets the visitor to Paperbark and is fitted with security and intercom systems. A lovely tree-lined driveway winds to the property and features a range of rare and exotic species of trees and flowers.

A discreet but distinctly tropical entranceway guides you into this stunning home. Cedar doors and windows and a covered walkway are complimented by stunning tropical plants including rare red neck palms, spider lilies, and bismarkia palms and there are ponds filled with Coy fish. Once inside, a large tropical atrium garden illuminated by skylights above brings the tropical gardens right into the home. Beyond the atrium a spacious sun room overlooks one of the many entertaining terraces and the beautiful views across the property.

To the left of the sun room you will find the kitchen and breakfast room, this is a large open plan kitchen with an oversized Brushbox timber island bench. The 2 pack cabinetry has been finished in a very tasteful ‘coffee & cream’ colour palette. Appliances include a 6 burner Ilve oven with teppanyaki plate; a built-in Gaggenau steamer; GE double fridge with refreshment centre; Smeg dishwasher & microwave; and a built in coffee machine. A window bench creates a perfect breakfast bar that looks out over the fields and a matching Brushbox table provides for more formal breakfast dining. The kitchen is also the nerve centre of the home with front gate phone access as well as intercom access to the rest of the home.

Leaving the kitchen area and walking across the sunroom you will come to an open plan continuation of the living areas which includes a formal dining room overlooking the pool and an elevated lounge area taking in the views to the North.

The elevated lounge area is very spacious and embraces a relaxed atmosphere whilst taking in the views over the dam on the property.

Leading off the formal dining area you will find an outdoor entertaining and eating area adjoining a BBQ area. The view onto the pool and central courtyard is spectacular both by day and by night.

A 10 seater spa; a Balinese cabana and some tropical garden planting complete the internal courtyard area which is ideal for entertaining.

Every ‘entertainer’s dream: an enormous pool table; 3 door full size bar fridge and wet area complete with various bar stools and couches as well as an outdoor entertaining deck.

A wine connoisseur’s paradise – a 900 bottle wine cellar with adjoining vine covered outdoor tasting patio

Paperbark also has its own fully automated movie cinema with 10 full size reclining cinema chairs

Glassed in walkways looking onto vast established tropical gardens lead to the guest and master bedroom wings of the home.

All 5 ensuited bedrooms suites are tastefully finished in neutral tones and have access to the A-bus 4 zone sound system and individual room temperature control. All bedrooms open onto the internal courtyard and overlook the pool area. The master bedroom has a walk in robe and open plan bathroom with marble finishes and spa bath.

A lovely open walkway lined with palms leads to the gymnasium and steam room.

Beyond the gymnasium the walkway leads to a large machinery shed or hangar and beyond that a 1-2 bedroom fully self-contained manager’s residence and a second aircraft hangar and helipad.

This truly is an amazing property with every detail so well considered, it would be very difficult to want for anything more.

There is a 560 metre all-weather airstrip and a third hangar on the far western corner of the property. The grounds have been beautifully landscaped around the home and there are also 6 paddocks each with its own dam where 40 beef cattle currently graze on the luscious green grasses.

This amazing property can be inspected by appointment only.
