A piece of Australian music history is up for grabs as one of the country’s renowned recording studios, LaCueva Recording, and the iconic Bluesfest site in Byron Bay have been put on the market. Situated in the tranquil Byron hinterland, LaCueva Recording was co-founded by Powderfinger frontman Bernard Fanning and acclaimed producer Nick DiDia, known for his work with various international music legends.
Established in 2015, LaCueva Recording is a state-of-the-art studio nestled within the breathtaking surroundings of Byron Bay, offering a unique and inspiring setting for musicians. The property, located on McInnes Lane in Tyagarah, boasts stunning views of the ocean and the Cape Byron Lighthouse, making it a truly picturesque location for creative endeavors.
The compound, known as Birdsong, spans 2.6 hectares and features a main residence designed by architect Paul Witzig, surrounded by lush palm trees and paperbarks. The property includes a self-contained pool house that also operates as a recording studio, attracting artists such as Bernard Fanning, Dirty Honey, Russell Morris, and Something For Kate to record their music in this idyllic setting.
Offering three separate residences, the property sits atop an escarpment and has been meticulously landscaped to enhance its natural beauty. The listing, managed by Pacifico Property, highlights the potential for generating income through the studio, fostering creativity, and supporting the local music industry.
Meanwhile, the former home of the iconic Bluesfest, the Tyagarah Tea Tree Farm, is also on the market. The 96-hectare property, now listed by Michael Hunter of Bracton Industries, presents a rare opportunity for redevelopment or long-term investment in a prime location minutes away from Byron Bay and Brunswick Heads.
With approvals in place for various developments, the Tyagarah property offers endless possibilities in a highly sought-after area between the Pacific Highway and the Pacific Ocean. This significant land holding, with its pristine surroundings and strategic location, is poised to attract interest from investors looking to capitalize on the region’s growth and potential.
Both properties are currently listed by reputable real estate agents, inviting offers from potential buyers keen on owning a piece of Australian music history and securing a unique investment opportunity in the vibrant Byron Bay region.
