The Old Rectory | A Historic Byron Bay Hinterland Estate with Panoramic Valley Views

Some homes are admired for their architecture, others for the stories they hold. The Old Rectory is a rare combination of both.

Built in 1903 as the rectory for the adjoining St Aidan’s Anglican Church, this beautifully preserved Federation residence is one of the Byron Hinterland’s most treasured homes. Held by just three owners across more than 120 years, it represents a rare opportunity to become part of the property’s remarkable legacy.

Occupying an elevated 2,655sqm ridgeline position in the peaceful village of Eureka, the home captures breathtaking 270-degree views across rolling farmland, the Nightcap Ranges and Minyon Falls. Its prized western aspect delivers spectacular sunsets and an ever-changing hinterland backdrop throughout the seasons.

Crafted from locally milled teak, the residence showcases the timeless elegance of its era, with original leadlight windows, French doors, soaring ceilings, cedar fireplaces and expansive wraparound verandahs. Recently updated, the home balances historic character with modern comfort.

The floorplan offers four bedrooms, two bathrooms and a selection of inviting living spaces, including a light-filled sunroom ideal as a home office, creative studio or quiet retreat. Throughout the home, a strong connection to the surrounding landscape creates a sense of calm and place.

Outside, established gardens, productive vegetable beds, fruit trees and open lawns frame a heated 10m x 5m infinity pool overlooking the valley below. A fully operational original fireplace and outdoor firepit provide inviting spaces to gather in every season, while a detached double garage constructed from reclaimed coach-house timber offers flexibility for storage, a workshop or studio.

Complete with town water, solar power and high-speed NBN, The Old Rectory combines the romance of a historic country estate with the convenience of modern hinterland living, just moments from Federal and within easy reach of Bangalow and Byron Bay.
