107 Bates Rd, Federal is a 5 bedroom, 3 bathroom House with 2 parking spaces and was built in 2007. The property has a land size of 120900m2 and floor size of 397m2. While the property is not currently for sale or for rent, it was last sold in September 2021.
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 with the space, privacy and amenity to be enjoyed now and held for generations.
The sense of escape begins long before reaching the home. A long, tree-lined approach winds through a rainforest, gradually leaving the outside world behind before revealing the residence in its secluded setting. Expansive lawns, established greenery and beautiful hinterland views create an extraordinary sense of arrival - a feeling of having reached somewhere entirely your own. Yet despite its deep privacy, Bates House remains within easy reach of Federal village and the wider Byron region.
At the heart of the estate is an impressive pavilion-style residence conceived to sit naturally within its surroundings. Blackbutt shiplap cladding across the home and stables brings warmth and texture, while soaring cathedral ceilings, polished timber floors and expansive interiors create a relaxed sense of scale. Approximately 500sqm of living provides generous space for family and friends, with multiple zones designed for gathering together or retreating in privacy.
The kitchen and principal living spaces form the social heart of the home, opening naturally to outdoor entertaining and the landscape beyond. A substantial stone island, European appliances and butler's pantry create an elegant setting for entertaining, while the spectacular 14-metre mineral infinity pool forms a natural centrepiece for long summer days, relaxed lunches and evenings immersed in the tranquillity of the hinterland.
Accommodation has been thoughtfully designed for extended stays and generations of family. The private main suite opens directly to the deck and features a 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 add further flexibility, allowing the home to adapt effortlessly to family life and extended stays.
Beyond its beauty, the estate offers substantial infrastructure and a level of self-sufficiency rarely found so close to Byron Bay. Solar generation with extensive battery storage, generator backup, filtered water, approximately 100,000 litres of water storage and a registered bore provide valuable independence, while ducted heating and cooling ensure year-round comfort.
At its heart, Bates House is a place to escape, gather and reconnect - a private family retreat where holidays become traditions and generations can come together. For those seeking flexibility, the estate also offers the opportunity to generate premium holiday accommodation income when not in private use.
Homes can be transformed. Landholdings of this scale, privacy and position cannot be recreated. In a region where substantial private acreage is increasingly difficult to secure, Bates House represents a rare opportunity to acquire not simply a home, but a place of enduring value - to retreat to, share with family and preserve for the future.
