643 Booyong Road, Booyong

Historic Byron Hinterland Home with Contemporary Comfort

Set on a manageable 955m2 parcel in peaceful Booyong, with the feel of a private rural retreat, this two-bedroom home is steeped in more than 140 years of local history. Built around 1884, the home was originally the local Station Master's residence and was relocated to its current site in 1916, reportedly moved by horses with the help of the local community.

The current owners have carried that history forward with a comprehensive renovation that blends old-world character with genuine modern comfort. Hardwood construction, polished timber floors and high ceilings give the home real presence. A light-filled dining and kitchen area with raked ceilings, exposed beams and a skylight add a contemporary lift, anchored by a restored brick fireplace. The master suite's ensuite and the home's thoughtful updates bring it firmly into this century, proving that character and contemporary living aren't mutually exclusive.

Wrap-around hardwood verandas are made for slow mornings, while underneath there's ample storage for vehicles, tools and equipment. A separate studio with its own bathroom adds real flexibility, whether as a home office, creative retreat or guest accommodation. Outside, the fully fenced grounds are a gardener's paradise, centred around a stunning owner-built natural filtered pond that transforms every summer into a private escape.

Enjoy the tranquillity of a rural setting just five minutes from Clunes, 15 minutes to Bangalow and Alstonville and around 25 minutes from Lennox and Ballina Byron Gateway Airport. Rich in history and beautifully updated, this is a rare opportunity to own a unique hinterland home in the Byron Shire without compromising on modern comfort.
