About this space

Spectacularly located in the Byron Bay hinterland, Walker Farm is an exercise in liveable luxury. Opulent, yet understated in its materiality, this home challenges your assumption of what a new build looks like and takes upon the visage of a structure which has always been in this landscape. Surrounded by enviable lush hillside views, this home has been expertly designed so that every space feels connected to the landscape.

Located in the hinterland hills of Myocum, just a short 10-minute drive from bustling Byron Bay, Walker Farm has it all. While in the home there is a covetable silence which is only interrupted by the occasional call from a resident wedge-tailed eagle. The home is on a sprawling 40 acres and is still a working cattle farm.

The living pavilion is surrounded on both sides by substantial decks with integrated bench seats which allow the view to take centre stage. It also overlooks the communal firepit area and the palatial pool.

The basalt stone wall houses a dynamic combustion fireplace and assists to ground the interior living space which has vast cathedral-like ceilings bringing a sense of drama to the room. Stone and timber benchtops and exposed timber integrated shelving take the kitchen joinery from feeling utilitarian to decorative.

The home features a rumpus room, two bespoke children’s bedrooms, guest room, bunk room and master bedroom suite complete with walk in robe and ensuite. Leather has been used as a key material throughout this build both in hardware and in decorative elements. The master bedroom instantly connects to you to its surroundings when stepping into the ensuite. Clad entirely with green andesite it has views of the surrounding pine forest and farm below yet remains unashamedly private.

All of the bedroom spaces are designed and decorated with the natural landscape in mind. Layers of natural texture and images of nature feature prominently throughout the designs. The result is spaces which all feel distinct yet connected to one another thanks to a palette of organic materials which are inspired by the surrounding environment.
