Cherished by one family for generations, this one-of-a-kind Byron Bay beach house is already stirring up ultra-wealthy buyers.
A Byron Bay home with "one of the best views in Australia" has come to market after being enjoyed by the same family for decades.
The beach house at 148 Lighthouse Road, Byron Bay is a relaxed three-bedroom home with plenty of alfresco entertaining space plus a self-contained studio on an impressive 1,438sqm block.

But the buyer who steps up won’t be paying for the house. They’ll be paying for the address.
Lighthouse Road is Byron Bay at its most dazzling: a ribbon that runs along the coast from Clarkes Beach past The Pass and Wategos to Cape Byron, Australia’s most easterly point.
At the top, the 1901 heritage-listed lighthouse watches over land sacred to the Arakwal people and waters where dolphins and sea eagles pass.

With only about a hundred addresses, protected headland on one side and surf on the other, it’s no surprise that agents call it one of Byron's most exclusive streets, where buyers pay eight figures to live.
This home sits at the end of a quiet lane off Lighthouse Road, with an ocean outlook and a privacy that’s hard to find, says agent Nick Dunn at McGrath Byron Bay.
"It has one of the best views you could ever find on the east coast of Australia. The ocean view is just a huge slab of water, it's incredible. You can see the waves breaking at The Pass," he said.

"There's only a handful of properties here that ever come available. And once it sells, there won't be another one that comes up like that."
With the ocean in front, national park behind and a neighbour on one side only, the elevated home feels tucked away from the world below.
Inside, bright living and dining areas flow onto an expansive timber deck. There are three bedrooms with ensuites and a studio above the double garage. The piece de resistance is an 18m infinity pool that seems to hang above the ocean, with a brand new cabana beside it.

A track leads down to Clarkes Beach and The Pass and meanders on to Wategos and the lighthouse. Turn the other way and you’re strolling to the cafes, restaurants and vibrant energy of town.
The home is lovely as it stands, though DA-approved architectural plans are already in place for a remarkable reimagining of the site. Buyers can also dream up something entirely new, subject to council approval.
The property also sits within Byron Bay’s coveted 365-day short-term rental precinct, which adds flexibility and lucrative holiday-letting potential.

But with a hefty $30m-$33m price guide, the home is a big leap from earlier sales on the street.
158 Lighthouse Road sold for $6.2m in 2016, number 144 for $9.15m in 2020, and number 146 for $12.25m in March last year.
If the property achieves its guide price, it could rank among Byron's most expensive sales — 29 Marine Parade achieved $30m in February 2024.

The figure doesn't seem to be scaring people off though, with Mr Dunn saying enquiries have been strong, and from a real mix of buyers.
"We've had a lot of interest. The property will attract expats, local and interstate buyers," he said.
The property is being sold via expressions of interest campaign closing on December 11.
