In the rolling green hills of the Byron Bay hinterland some 20 minutes from the golden beaches at Byron Bay you will find a magical country estate called Saratini. An unassuming entrance leads into the property and a wonderful 2 km long driveway winds across the land past green open pastures, macadamia trees and gums into a beautiful olive grove and up to the highest point on the property and the homestead.
Saratini is a Ron Johnson designed federation style, single level home with a lovely north-easterly aspect. It is surrounded by award winning and beautifully presented, old English-style country gardens and mature trees. The home is designed around a central sun drenched courtyard garden and features 5 good-sized bedrooms, a sunny conservatory, a large kitchen with Butler’s pantry and dining area, as well as a lovely lounge room with a wood burning fire for chilly winter’s nights. One of the five bedrooms is in a separate self contained guest wing with its own private north facing veranda. Constructed from rendered hebel block and graced with high ceilings and numerous double hinged French doors which add wonderful character and bring the outdoors in.
With tranquil Wilsons River frontage, 2 creeks and multiple dams, Saratini has an abundance of water and with the macadamia plantation, olive grove and cattle pastures the property also has primary production status. Apart from its agricultural benefits the property offers a wonderful lifestyle with some beautiful stands of rainforest and a great swimming hole in a private rural setting.
Saratini is a magnificent property that has been thoroughly loved and nurtured by its current owners over the past 20 years and will provide a great lifestyle and abundant opportunity for the next owners. It is 10 minutes from the village of Bangalow and only an hour from Gold Coast international airport.
The property is on the market for $1.99 million. To arrange your inspection and tour of the property, contact Nicolette van Wijngaarden at Unique Estates.
