Inside the rainforest-surrounded bright blue estate surrounded by rainforest in the Orara Valley

An unique country estate on a sprawling 54-acre property features a striking cobalt blue façade, two separate guest villas, incredible gardens and a resort-style pool. 

Known as Orara Valley Estate, the nine-bedroom property sits atop a hill in Upper Orara, near Coff’s Harbour, just over two and a half hours drive south of Byron Bay and offers a lavish lifestyle away from the hustle and bustle of the city.  

With panoramic views of the surrounding picturesque mountains and stunning bushland as well as multiple indoor and outdoor entertaining areas, the estate is a Mediterranean-meets-Moroccan bushland retreat perfect for hosting gatherings of all sizes.   

Orara Valley Estate was built in the mid-eighties by architect Trevor Jamison in collaboration with then-owner, publisher and artist Steven Bush and local builder Frank Maione and was recently renovated to include modern upgrades by the current owners
