Last Listing description (November 2025)
The Plateau sits only 3.5 kms drive from the historic village of Federal in the lush hinterland of Byron Bay. This substantial property is 20.24 hectares (approximately 50 acres) with deep red volcanic soil and a mixture of open fields and wooded areas. Elevation combined with a considerable proportion of near level land is an extremely attractive and desirable feature of this property, and with selected clearing some of the best views in the region can be realised. On the western side of The Plateau, the views to Condong Falls are exceptional. A cedar shack was built in the early 1980's, the location being a most glorious positioning for a new home in keeping with the environment (STCA).
The remaining acreage is steeper with access on the opposite side of Bates Road making it perfect for the new owner to focus on as a stand-alone re-gen rainforest with access to a large dam.
Originally part of the Bates family dairy farm in the early 1900's, then following the dairy industry it then became top quality cattle country. Over the last thirty plus years the property has been left to be a place of peace for native wildlife.
The current owners have now reluctantly decided after 47 years that it is time to pass The Plateau onto someone who will have the vison to retain the property as a refuge for native animals and birdlife to flourish and feel safe in their hidden sanctuary along with a lifestyle of peace and beauty for its new owner. Yes, The Plateau requires work - work that will result in a beautiful hinterland retreat.
