SOLD | 1028 Wilsons Creek Road, Wilsons Creek

💰 $4,100,000

This wasn’t just another acreage sale.

This was a 440-acre family holding that had been tightly held for almost 70 years, backing onto the World Heritage-listed Nightcap National Park and featuring creeks, waterfalls, grazing country and some of the most spectacular scenery in the Byron hinterland.

The result?

✔ Over 200 enquiries
✔ More than 30 private inspections
✔ Six genuine offers
✔ Sold for $4.1 million

Properties of this scale and complexity don’t sell themselves.

They require a targeted campaign, qualified buyer management, local knowledge and a strategy that creates competition between the right buyers.

Most inspections took over two hours as we explored the property by buggy, creek crossings, lookouts, waterfalls and hidden corners that made this holding so unique.

I’m incredibly grateful to the family for trusting me with the sale of a property that has been part of their lives for generations.

Congratulations to the new owners and thank you to everyone who participated in the campaign.

If you’re considering selling a unique property, acreage, farm or lifestyle holding and would like to discuss the strategy behind this result, I’d love to have a conversation.

SOLD | THE BEACH HOUSE, EAST BALLINA | $8,000,000
Two Years in the Making | Off-Market Transaction

This wasn’t a stock standard sale.

Nearly two years of negotiations, problem solving, relationships, persistence and strategic thinking all led to this moment.

An entirely off-market transaction, this deal came together through understanding exactly what the buyer wanted long term, then bringing together the right people to execute the vision.

I originally sold The Beach House four years ago, and it’s incredible to see the property come full circle once again.

This is what real estate is really about. Not just listing properties. Understanding people, businesses, relationships and opportunities before the market sees them.

A huge thank you to the vendors for trusting me with the sale of this incredible property once again.

70 Shelly Beach Drive now moves into an exciting new era overlooking Angels Beach, and I genuinely believe what’s coming next will take this property to another level.

Watch this space.

A walk through the site with the owner… and a moment to reflect on the journey.

This was a considered and, at times, sensitive sale, a great reminder of what really matters in this business.

Trust, communication, and strong negotiation are everything.

Proud of the result, and even more so of the relationship built along the way.

That’s what good real estate is all about

There’s nothing more powerful than hearing it from the owner

Every sale has a story, and this one is a great example of what can be achieved with the right strategy, communication, and persistence.

Grateful for the trust and proud to have delivered a result that everyone’s happy with.

If you’re thinking of selling and want a similar experience, feel free to reach out.
