While Byron Bay has carved a name for itself as the sunny celebrity hideaway that homes the Hemsworths amongst other Hollywood A-listers, it isn’t yet devoid of all its tranquil charm.
Enter Koreelah, a grand, stone gated, 100-year-old pile decorated with towering pines and old-growth forest only four minutes from Byron town.
The 5-bedroom, 3-bathroom, 6-car home is set on 3.88-hectares neighbouring the likes of Australian businessman and Celebrity Apprentice boss Mark Bouris, singer Angus Stone and former Nine boss David Gyngell.
Through the sandstone foyer, the elegant old dame boasts four-metre-high ceilings a central stone fireplace and open-plan living spaces. It’s here the caterer’s sized kitchen – replete with stainless-steel appliances and temperature-controlled wine storage – living and dining area spills towards the outdoor space.
Ideal for outdoor entertaining, the home is replete with a 16-metre outdoor mineral pool, five-person spa and full-sized pizza oven that soaks all while soaking in views from Mt. Warning to the coast.
Elsewhere the five bedrooms all open out to the wraparound veranda while the main has access to its own, private covered deck, ensuite and outdoor bathtub.
Further, a section of the home – complete with kitchen and living area – can easily transform into a secondary accommodation, nanny zone or home office with separate entrance and courtyard.
Moreover, the home offers an 80-tree olive grove, irrigated with town water, a 20-tree citrus orchard alongside mano, apple, guava and jackfruit trees. Keeping its green appeal, the residence has solar panels and a 75000L rainwater stores.
Pacifico Property’s Christian Sergiacomi takes the home to auction on April 16 with a guide of $9-$9.5 million.

A Mid-Century Modern home in Carmel, California, hit the market on Friday for just the third time in 70 years with a listing price of $4.25 million.
Located in the community of Carmel Highlands, the house is just steps from the coastline and comes with private beach access, according to the listing with Tim Allen of Coldwell Banker Realty in Northern California. Allen was not immediately available for comment.
The property last changed hands in 2010 when Hollywood screenwriter Richard Outten bought it for $990,000, public records show. Outten penned the screenplays for the 1992 movie “Pet Sematary Two” and the 1987 film “Lionheart,” and created the story for the 2012 “Journey to the Center of the Earth” sequel, “Journey 2: The Mysterious Island.” He was not immediately available for comment.
Built in 1953, the home’s mid-century charm has been preserved over the years while still being updated for modern living. Interior details include wood paneling, exposed-brick walls and beamed ceilings.
The single-level house has 1,785 square feet, which includes three bedrooms and two full bathrooms. Though not directly on the water, large windows flanking the adobe-brick, wood-burning fireplace look out at the ocean.
Sliding glass doors create a seamless flow between indoor and outdoor living. Outside, there’s a large patio surrounded by lush landscaping, and there are also meandering paths through sustainable succulent gardens, according to the listing.
In addition to its close proximity to the beach, the home is a 10-minute walk from downtown Carmel-by-the-Sea.
As of July, the median list price in Carmel is $3.1 million, up 8% from last year, even as active listings have increased 50% year over year, according to data from Realtor.com.
