Coorabell Ridge is a home of great proportions, beautifully designed and perfectly positioned on a ridgeline that takes in the Byron Bay Lighthouse to the east and the Nightcap Ranges to the west. A discreet entrance takes you down a long driveway through the 50 rolling green acres of the estate to the main house. Grand broad steps incorporating a fountain and pond lead to the home’s entrance that opens into a large central dining hall with a hexagonal ceiling pitched to a central skylight. Flanked by Redgum staircases and finished with subtle lead-lighting details the room acts as a hub to the other wings of the home. There is a large games room or formal lounge sitting area; a guest wing with two spacious bedrooms, a fantastic family bathroom, study, and a laundry. There is a parents’ wing with a large master bedroom, walk-in robe and ensuite, and an extra bedroom ideal for a younger child. A kitchen and informal living area incorporate a wood-burning fire and continue the 12ft ceilings found throughout. The kitchen is spacious and incorporates ample bench and storage space. The decks around the home perfectly capture the magnificent hinterland scenery and are wonderful for outdoor entertaining. Upstairs a multipurpose room ideal for yoga or a library has 360-degree views of the property, the surrounding countryside and a wonderful perspective of the Byron Bay Lighthouse. Downstairs there is a generous 2-car garage, a perfect space for a wine cellar, and a great deal of additional storage space. The house was designed by local architect, John Zaat, to reflect the particular era from which the antique furniture, collected by the owners, derived. Attention to detail was a major focus and the multiple awards won are a testament to the level of finish attained. JS Henderson provided the highest level of craftsmanship required to accomplish the design and overall presentation of this home. All timber-work, particularly the windows, doors and paneling throughout the house needed to emphasize the fine detailing and beauty of a bygone era. Timber mouldings were specially produced by Hampton and Larsson to Zaat’s design specifications. Most of the architraves, skirting boards, chair rails and picture rails requiring two separate mouldings combined to create the final effect. However, the home also needed to perform in a very modern age and deliver on efficiency and the expectations of today’s family. The kitchen, produced by Woodrabbit Kitchens, is sophisticated yet continues to reflect the theme.
