Blair, 43, bought the original two-bedroom beach shack with his wife Kristi Townley in 2016 for $940,000.

Situated just 6kms from downtown Byron Bay and only minutes from famed Tallow Beach, the home is designed to make the most of the tropical setting.

Highlights include a thoughtful open plan layout with bi-fold doors that open out to multiple entertainment areas.

Features include vaulted ceilings, an alfresco breakfast bar and a master bedroom with outdoor claw bathtub.

The ‘entertainer’ style property is ringed by timber decking and sculptured gardens.
