Whimsy Farm

Step into a fairytale at Whimsy Farm, a charming country retreat just 30 minutes from Byron Bay. Nestled on 40 acres of lush greenery in the peaceful village of Federal, this beautifully restored 100-year-old farmhouse is the perfect place to relax, recharge, and reconnect. Ideal for families, groups, or anyone craving a magical escape.

Whimsy Farm features a main home with five bedrooms, a separate guest cottage, a pool house, and stunning outdoor entertaining areas. There’s space to spread out and enjoy the peaceful surroundings, whether youre lounging by the solar-heated pool, soaking in the outdoor bath under the stars, or relaxing on the wraparound verandah. Kids (and the young at heart) will love exploring the whimsical maze, treehouse, teepee, and wide-open paddocks. Animal lovers and horse riders will appreciate the stables and Olympic-sized dressage arena, while foodies can pick fresh produce from the veggie garden and citrus orchard. This one-of-a-kind property has also been featured in magazines and TV shows, and is perfect for special events, photo shoots, or just a private getaway full of charm and character.

The property itself offers unique features, including a double-storey treehouse—a charming elevated retreat nestled among the trees with panoramic forest views—and a custom-landscaped maze thoughtfully designed within sculpted gardens. Set in a remote location about 25 km from Byron Bay, the estate provides a tranquil escape but may feel isolated for guests accustomed to urban conveniences. Access is via Federal Drive, a scenic route that may not suit those seeking close proximity to city amenities.

Five-bedroom Queenslander home + separate guest cottage
Outdoor bathtub, pool, and spacious terrace
Double-storey treehouse, maze, teepee, and stables
Raised veggie gardens, citrus trees, and forest walks
