841 Fernleigh Road, Brooklet NSW 2479

Rare hinterland scale | 8-unit lodge model | 5 mins to Newrybar | 25m heated mineral pool | Helipad & bore water | Bushfire overlay present The property presents an unusual buying case: a fully operational, architect-designed luxury lodge on 116–125 acres within five minutes of Newrybar and 20 minutes from Byron Bay CBD. For a buyer seeking immediate income-producing capacity from a turnkey hospitality asset, the combination of 15 bedrooms across eight separate dwellings, resort infrastructure, and a private helipad creates a positioning edge few comparable holdings can match. The low building coverage, bore water, and EV charging reduce operational vulnerability, while the elevated site and absence of flood or heritage overlays improve long-term holding logic. This property suits a private-equity-backed accommodation operator or a high-net-worth family wanting a revenue-generating compound with genuine seclusion. The bushfire overlay is the principal risk, imposing higher construction and insurance costs plus potential limitations on future subdivision or expansion. The 2003 purchase price of $1.45 million indicates significant capital already embedded, so buyers should verify the current cost base and depreciation schedules carefully. NBN Fixed Wireless and 5G coverage are adequate for lodge operations but not a prime value driver. The rental estimate at $1,715 per week with low accuracy suggests the current nightly pricing of $750–$1,320 per villa may not yet reflect full market potential. A buyer should hold this property as a going-concern lodge, optimising occupancy through targeted luxury marketing, and review the bushfire overlay’s impact on any future development before committing.
