Shalva Federal

Offering the ideal combination of privacy, tranquility and luxury, Shalva is a truly magnificent sanctuary that will both inspire and soothe the soul.

Nestled within five acres of lush, tropical manicured gardens, on a hillside with a perfect northerly aspect capturing breathtaking vistas of the Nightcap Ranges’ Quandong Waterfall, this is one property you will never wish to leave.

The manicured park-like grounds (with automatic irrigation) are filled with mature Magnolia, Frangipani, Bromiliads, Gardenia and local palms with an ancient Fig overlooking the substantial and productive orchards. A dry stone feature wall, a remnant from the original dairy, meanders through the property, providing a textural backdrop to the stunning gardens.

The main residence, an architecturally designed masterpiece in the Federation style, constructed from hardwood timbers by a local craftsman, is bathed in a palette of warm neutral shades creating a relaxing yet understated ambience. Boasting a well considered open plan interior capturing views from each room, every conceivable luxury and modern convenience has been carefully considered, ensuring no detail has been overlooked. Top of the range appliances throughout include a freestanding 900mm Paul Bocuse “Rosieres” stove with double oven that takes pride of place within the perfectly presented spacious chef’s kitchen, complemented by an Asko dishwasher and Amana refrigerator.

Bi-fold French doors invite you outside to the large undercover entertaining area surrounded by reflection ponds with resident nishikigoi carp. A small bridge over the pond leads to a separate pavilion currently utilised as a formal office space.

Double garaging with a workshop adjacent to the main residence provides ample storage areas, with guest accommodation located on the second level, complete with princess balcony. Fully converted stables, a short stroll from the house, offer the convenience of a second office space or possibly separate guest accommodation.

A beautifully presented twelve metre pool is tiled in aquamarine and features an enormous Balinese influenced cabana, creating a resort like atmosphere.

Virtually unlimited water is provided by two 50,000 litre water tanks with Grundfos pressure pump and supplemented by a potable bore water system.

Located close to the village of Federal, and a short drive to Byron Bay or Bangalow, this wonderful property would make an incredibly relaxing and luxurious family home or the ideal holiday destination and has been drastically reduced in price to sell now!
