A ground-breaking rural lifestyle, sport & wellness destination across 51 hectares of elevated hinterland in Australia's most iconic coastal region.
70 Foxs Lane transforms a storied 51-hectare tropical orchard — home to over 400 exotic fruit varieties — into a world-class padel, hospitality, wellness, and regenerative-farm destination with twelve operating pillars.
Combining sport, nature, accommodation, gastronomy, wellness, and community into a single high-yielding ecosystem. Strategically positioned beside the upcoming 63km Rail Trail, minutes from Byron Bay, Mullumbimby, and Brunswick Heads on volcanic basalt soil in the Tyagarah hinterland.
The estate operates thirteen revenue pillars and has already spawned six adjacent micro-businesses — each independently valued, to be sold at exit while retained as tenants generating ongoing rental and royalty income. This is not just a hospitality project. It is a destination, a brand ecosystem, and a generational asset.

Australia's first integrated luxury farm-recreation hybrid destination
Undiscounted net cash returned to investor over the 13-year hold
Originally home to the Bundjalung (Arakwal) people, Byron Shire has become a globally recognised destination, attracting 1.9 million visitors annually and driving a multi-million dollar tourism economy.
Today, the region encompasses stunning national parks, pristine beaches, and a vibrant arts and wellness scene. Local authorities are investing heavily in future infrastructure, including the planned 132km Rail Trail connecting Murwillumbah to Casino.
70 Foxs Lane sits perfectly at the intersection of space and time — located on Foxs Lane right next to the future Rail Trail, in a moment when the region's tourism is soaring to new heights.
70 Foxs Lane elevates the emerging global trend of farm-luxury retreats — authentic, design-centered, wellness-driven destinations with limited scale and high yield.
Four covered, world-class padel courts with memberships, coaching, leagues, and tournaments in Australia's fastest-growing sport.
A hilltop Clubhouse with farm-to-table restaurant, Bar Giacomo, Bar 77, deli, and concept store. Menus shaped entirely by what the orchard and farm produce.
Sauna, steam, cold plunge, infrared, breathwork, massage studios, and a yoga shala. Orchard-infused treatments and cold-pressed elixirs in barefoot luxury.
16 keys across two typologies — six hillside cottages on stilts and a ten-room hotel residence — in volcanic basalt, recycled hardwood, and rammed earth.
400+ exotic fruit varieties across a mature tropical orchard. Greenhouse, nursery, and propagation facility supply the kitchen and the Picone Exotics business.
Events, seasonal celebrations, art installations, live music, and a membership ecosystem that turns the estate into a gathering place, not just a retreat.
A buy-in lifestyle residency program for 25 Modern Elders — offering permanence, community, and access to all estate amenities on a long-term agreement.
Direct access to the 63km Byron Bay Rail Trail. A dedicated cafe, Mullum Tech e-bike hub, and trail-side arrival experience capturing active tourism flow from day one.
Six independently-incorporated micro-businesses operating on-site and online — each sellable at exit, retained as tenants generating rental and royalty income.
The 70 Foxs Lane App managing memberships, bookings, and guest experience — with Foxes Lane Apothecary and Frozen Secrets as DTC brand extensions of the estate.
A destination ecosystem designed by award-winning architect Luke Chandresinghe and hospitality leader Tristan Grier, where every element is intentionally crafted.
The epicenter of the estate — a soaring sanctuary overlooking the pool and padel courts. Featuring a premier farm-to-table restaurant, Foxs Bar & Lounge, curated concept store, deli, and spaces crafted for connection. Menus shift with the seasons, shaped by on-site gardens and local producers.
Four covered, world-class padel courts purpose-designed for performance and luxury. Nestled within the hillside overlooking the vast landscape, with premium changing rooms, coaching programs, and competitive leagues. The fastest-growing sport in the world, now in Australia's most iconic setting.
At the heart of the clubhouse, a heated magnesium pool offers 250 sqm of pure relaxation. With shallow lounging areas, expansive decking, and seamless integration with the restaurant and bar — designed as both a tranquil retreat and a vibrant social hub with unparalleled views.
State-of-the-art saunas, ice baths, infrared panels, breathwork spaces, private massage rooms, and a yoga shala. Finished in warm timber, raw stone and soft filtered light. Orchard-infused treatments and cold-pressed elixirs complete a barefoot luxury wellness experience.
16 keys across two accommodation typologies — six standalone cottages elevated on stilts over the hillside to capture panoramic hinterland views, and a ten-room boutique hotel-style residence. Volcanic basalt stone, recycled hardwood, and rammed earth finishes frame rooms that dissolve into the orchard landscape. Designed by Luke Chandresinghe of Undercover Architecture.
Over 400 exotic fruit varieties across a storied tropical orchard. The greenhouse and nursery supply fresh, hyper-local produce directly to the kitchen. Guided tours, workshops, and regenerative farming practices create a living paddock-to-plate story.
"The land always has the first word. At 70 Foxs Lane, every line drawn begins with listening — to the slope, the canopy, the wind, and the stone already in the ground. Architecture should disappear into the place it serves."— Luke Chandresinghe, Principal, Undercover Architecture
A place for gathering. Where the rhythm of collective life unfolds.
Open verandas, shaded terraces, and wide thresholds dissolve the boundary between building and landscape. The Clubhouse is the social heart of the estate — a point of arrival where activities intersect. Architecture creates a gentle framework; social life unfolds naturally within the rhythms of climate, light, and landscape.
A place where food, place, and people meet.
The kitchen draws directly from the orchard and nearby farms. Menus shift with the seasons. Guests seated at the table can look across the landscape and see the very fruits that will appear on their plate — cultivation and consumption made visible. The restaurant is a meeting point between land, food, and community.
A neighbourhood place for everyday nourishment.
Fresh loaves, seasonal produce, hand-made preserves, and specialty coffee in a space designed for daily ritual. Drawing from European salumeria and French épicerie tradition, the Deli sits at the intersection of the Rail Trail and the estate — a natural stopping point for cyclists, walkers, and locals alike.
A space where objects are curated, not simply sold.
Objects are selected for their relationship to the estate, to the craft traditions of the region, and to each other. Ceramics from the on-site Ceramics Pavilion, textiles from the Indigo Pavilion, and natural materials drawn from the land — the store becomes less about transaction and more about encounter.
A place devoted to rest, healing, and renewal.
Drawing from Roman bathhouse sequencing and Japanese onsen philosophy — sauna, steam, cold plunge, infrared, and the 25m magnesium pool. Thermal contrast therapy, mineral-rich water, and orchard-infused treatments. Materials are natural and tactile; lighting remains soft; sound fades to stillness.
A space for practice, presence, and stillness.
The shala is a quiet, open structure within the landscape — the word meaning "house" in Sanskrit, a place of return. Oriented to capture the first light of morning, it provides a minimal framework for breath, movement, and meditation. Architecture supports practice rather than dominating it.
A space for experimentation, research, and making.
Five distinct branches — the Ceramics Pavilion, Indigo Pavilion, Dark Room, Apothecary, and Screening Space — form a network of craft and knowledge exchange. The Lab sits at the intersection of workshop, studio, and agora. From it, creations and discoveries are shared across Foxs Lane and beyond.
A landscape shaped through planting, time, and care.
400+ exotic fruit varieties cultivated across 50 hectares of mature tropical orchard. The orchard is a system in motion — seasonal cycles overlapping, bees connecting trees across the canopy, harvest flowing directly into the kitchen, the Deli, and the Picone Exotics business.
A game of movement, rhythm, and exchange.
Four covered, world-class courts set within the hillside with views across the hinterland. Glass and mesh walls make the game visible from outside. Day-to-night lighting preserves the calm of the surrounding ecology. Padel is the fastest-growing sport in the world — arriving at Australia's most iconic setting.
A place to step away, and to return to oneself.
16 keys across two typologies — six hillside cottages on stilts and a ten-room hotel residence. Structures placed lightly on the land in volcanic basalt, recycled hardwood, and rammed earth. Each cabin offers privacy, terraced connection to the landscape, and a morning defined by light and silence.
Volcanic basalt sourced on-site, recycled Australian hardwood, hand-formed rammed earth walls, and raw bamboo — no material imported that could be grown or quarried within the shire.
All built forms sit lightly on the hillside — elevated on stilts or set into the slope, preserving flood-plain land and the existing root systems of the mature orchard below.
Every building is orientated north-east to capture prevailing breezes and maximise afternoon shade. Deep eaves and louvred screens eliminate mechanical cooling across the accommodation typologies.
Rooflines follow the canopy line. Colour palettes draw from the soil, stone, and bark of the orchard itself. The aim is that from above, the estate reads as landscape — not architecture.
The wellness and lifestyle tourism sector is booming globally, with accelerating demand for experiential, wellness-led travel.
Farm-luxury retreats command 30-70% premiums above regional averages through authenticity, design, and exclusivity.
Byron Bay attracted 1.9 million visitors in 2024, yet the hinterland remains underserved for premium integrated experiences.
The upcoming Rail Trail passes directly by the site, creating a new flow of active leisure tourists to the doorstep.
The 70 Foxs Lane Forecast — a 13-year model with senior debt financing. The capital structure provides de-risked exposure to both the land (PropCo) and the operating business (OpCo), with $1.47M annual preferred return and strong exit proceeds at Year 10.
The investor enters against an independently-supported $15M asset base before a single dollar of development capital is deployed. At $39.1M total project cost, this represents a conservative entry — more than half the current value is hard, debt-free property confirmed by three independent real estate opinions.
A milestone-gated capital raise structured to protect the investor at every stage. Each tranche unlocks only on delivery of the preceding phase — with real security, reducing risk, and equity claw-back mechanisms built in from day one.
Deployed on close against the $15M current asset valuation. Funds site preparation, master planning, consultant fees, and DA lodgement costs to carry the project through to Development Approval Stage 1.
Triggered on receipt of Development Approval Stage 1. Funds civil works, infrastructure, six cottages, padel courts, and deli/restaurant fit-out — establishing the estate's first revenue pillars and carrying to Development Approval Stage 2.
Triggered on receipt of Development Approval Stage 2. Funds the hotel residence, wellness spa, pool, expanded restaurant, and all remaining works to take the estate to full practical completion and opening.
Deployed at opening to fund the CY 2029 ramp period, then into Op Years 2–3 for micro-business brand builds, DTC channels, and wholesale expansion. Self-liquidating — as operating revenue replaces WC, equity claws back proportionally.
The claw-back structure is not a penalty — it is a reward mechanism that activates only when the project delivers. If milestones are not met, equity does not claw back. The investor retains maximum coverage until the asset earns its way to a settled position.
Note: Padel court-hire revenue modelled conservatively at zero pending operator input. Spa treatment volumes also below commercial settings pending operator review. Both lines expected to increase materially on revision.

70 Foxs Lane has already seeded and acquired six independent micro-businesses that operate within and around the estate. Each will be independently valued and sold at exit — while remaining as estate tenants, generating ongoing rental income and royalty streams back to the PropCo.
Agriculture · Propagation · Farmers' Markets
The founding business of the estate. A mature tropical fruit orchard on 50ha at 70 Foxs Lane, Tyagarah, currently trading four farmers' markets — Byron, Mullumbimby, New Brighton, and Bangalow — generating $134,400 gross p.a. from the orchard alone. The property holds an $8.5M asset valuation confirmed by three independent opinions (McGrath Northern Rivers, Pacifico Property, Atlas Real Estate). A standalone commercial propagation nursery — grafting rare tropical cultivars unavailable anywhere else in Australia — is being developed as a separately investable business with its own Financial Memorandum and Information Memorandum.
Farm-to-Table · Food Delivery · DTC
A farm-to-table food and deli delivery brand serving the Byron Bay and Northern Rivers region. Operates from the estate's commercial kitchen and deli infrastructure. An existing subscriber list provides a ready Day-1 revenue base. Harvest At Home captures the premium home-delivery wellness food market adjacent to the on-site restaurant.
E-Bikes · Mobility · Rail Trail
An electric bike and mobility rental operator positioned at the estate's Rail Trail access point. The 63km Rail Trail passes the front gate — Mullum Tech captures the active leisure tourist flow as a hire hub, guide operator and mobility logistics provider. First-mover on one of regional Australia's most anticipated trail infrastructure projects.
Skincare · Botanicals · DTC + Wholesale
A skincare brand with a farm behind it. Three founding collections formulated from estate-sourced botanicals — tallow, orchard fruit, and distilled plant extracts — from 51 hectares of Byron hinterland. Positioned against Aesop, Cowshed, and Augustinus Bader, with a ten-pillar credibility engine anchored in the Picone provenance story. Revenue model shifts from on-site retail (80% Year 1) to DTC-dominant (62% Year 10) with a wholesale arm scaling to 20% at maturity. Founding round: $220K. Has its own full Information Memorandum (revised May 2026).
Pre-Packed Frozen Fruit · DTC Delivery · Subscription
Pre-packed frozen exotic fruit — portioned and ready for smoothies, meals, ice creams, and desserts — delivered direct to your door. Sourced entirely from the Picone Exotics orchard, each pack carries flavours unavailable through any commercial supplier. A subscription-first DTC brand with zero waste, minimal processing, and a product base that cannot be replicated outside the estate.
Technology · Membership · Guest Experience
A proprietary guest and member app managing bookings, padel court reservations, wellness scheduling, event discovery and estate navigation. Becomes the digital front door for the Foxs Lane membership ecosystem. Carries long-term platform value as a white-label product licensable to other rural luxury venues across Australia.
Each business is independently incorporated, separately valued, and structured for sale at exit while contractually retained as an estate tenant. This delivers three layers of return to the PropCo: rental income during operations, sale proceeds at exit, and ongoing royalty income post-sale — a compounding value engine embedded within the master investment.
The first integrated luxury farm-recreation destination in Australia, capturing an underserved market.
Thirteen synergistic revenue pillars — F&B, accommodation, wellness, padel, orchard, membership, adjacent co. rents, and more — with different seasonality and growth curves, providing stability and resilience.
Legacy tropical orchard with 400+ fruit varieties, rooted in genuine agricultural history, not staged aesthetics.
Beside the Rail Trail with strong tourism flow, easy highway access, and proximity to two international airports.
Low-impact development on RU2 Rural Landscape zoning, with a staged approach that de-risks approval.
Future potential for franchising, product lines including apparel, wellness products, farm produce, ceramics, and art.
