Amileka

Designed by multi-award-winning architect Sharon Fraser, Amileka is truly a one-of-a-kind, luxurious retreat with 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, spacious living areas, and a huge outdoor entertaining area with pool and firepit. Set on 25 sprawling acres near the charming village of Federal, this contemporary, luxury home has earned multiple awards for innovative architectural design. Admire breathtaking hinterland views while enjoying privacy and space just 30 minutes from Byron Bay.

Amileka is also proud to be the first 'Tesla Destination' in Australia with the home powered by solar and stored on the property with Tesla Powerwall home battery storage. Even better, if you have an electric vehicle, you can request to charge it in the Tesla charging station located in the garage. Check out the video down the page to watch the installation by Tesla, and the Model X at this stunning property.

For cooler evenings, there’s even a fireplace, fully stocked with additional firewood to keep you extra cosy all night.

The separate media room provides additional space to unwind with its own flat screen TV and comfortable daybeds. There are 3 custom-built trundle beds which can be made up for up to 3 children.

Cooking & Dining
How does your very own private chef sound? At Amileka, the kitchen is set up to perfectly suit the hire of a private chef or a catered dinner with a separate butler’s kitchen and pantry, tucked away behind a frosted glass divider and equipped with commercial-grade stainless steel appliances. You or your private chef can even select fresh, seasonal produce from a large vegetable patch just outside on the property.

Open to the living and entertaining areas, the front kitchen is sleek and bright, with high-end, integrated appliances, and a Nespresso coffee machine with pods provided. Guests can mingle over canapés or simply enjoy a morning brew from the spacious breakfast bar, while the large, indoor dining table has seating for 8.

Each of Amileka’s 5 bedrooms has a charm and character all its own, individually designed with contemporary furnishings, luxurious linens, and inspiring art pieces.

Outdoor Dining/Entertaining
Set on 25 sprawling acres in the heart of the Hinterland, Amileka’s outdoor spaces are unrivalled. The home’s open, indoor living area flows seamlessly into the outside, providing breathtaking valley views from dynamic dining and entertaining spaces. The expansive, 18x5m in-ground swimming pool is its centrepiece and the ideal place for a refreshing dip or lively poolside gathering.

On cooler evenings, get cosy beside the spacious fire pit with a glass of wine. Al fresco dining is a breeze in the outdoor lounge, with a remote-controlled vergola roof. Leave it open to let in the sun or starlight, or simply keep it closed if the clouds roll in. All along the sides of the lounge, blinds can be pulled up or down as well to enjoy views of lush, rolling valleys. There’s plenty of room for everyone with a mix of banquette and bench-style seating.

For the kids (or simply kids at heart), the property also includes a basketball hoop plus a trampoline, tree swing, and playground outside.
