Spot the Great Whites and beat-downs from infinity balcony!
A five-bedroom, four shitter compound that appears to float over the ocean has gone on the market in sleep old Lennox Head, near Byron Bay, for a pretty wild twenty-five mill plus Australian dollars.
The joint at 40 Blue Seas Parade runs over three levels and features a fifty-foot infinity pool, twenty-foot ceilings, a ten-seat indoor cinema, a six-car garage, mirrored elevator and a tub that looks like it was carved out of a single piece of rock.
Come stroll through the place with me.

Lennox Head, of course, is home to a genuinely world-class, green-water righthand point where you might bump into a Great White shark (see: “Healthy, 333 Great Whites caught on 10-mile stretch between Ballina, Lennox and Evans Head” and “BeachGrit writer eyeballed by Great White at Lennox Head, “I can feel the pressure wave on my legs; the big pectoral fins look like a plane!”) or feel the wrath of its proprietary locals (see: “Surf-mat king Mark Thomson avoids jail for assault on women’s world #2!”)

Nobody cares what Jonah Jill thinks about surfing and nobody wants to watch longboarding, sounds soooo boring, you couldn’t pay me to watch. I’d rather watch a comp at Huntington
“You like?”
No.
>ugly couch
>old fireplace
>too much glass, no privacy from passing hanggliders
What a dump. I’ll give you 10 grand for it and we’ll call it even.
You come here for surf news?
I’m going too buy it and put a surf cam up
It’ll pay for itself. Genius.
The begining of the end…
Well you know life moves on, newy’s getting too busy, I like point breaks…
Oh, you mean Jonah and Devon.
See the point in town yesterday morn!? Firing, and absolutely packed solid. Good thing further south was pretty much empty.
Yeah I was out. Had a shocker.
wonder who’s marriage broke down?
you don’t offload a joint like that unless divorce lawyers need a payday.
Or you built the joint and know how crazy the property market is at the moment around this area and you just put a stupid price on it that you are happy to sell at. I have a mate a little further north who put an extra $750k (percentage wise around 30%) on what he thought his place was worth and he got hit in 7 weeks. Could not believe it. Still you are buying and selling in the same market.
I just spent the second half of 2021 buying a house in CA.
2/4 houses we “lost” out on are now listed for rent or for sale with a 35% price increase. No one ever intended to live in them.
My dream pad is like a little Palapa in Mexico with no electricity, a open fire for cooking, (a propane refigerator), some good books, and my wife and kids to share it with.
Don’t forget a descent quiver..
I always had you pitched as a lone wolf, Sammy.
What do you do for work?
Carpenter, have been happily married for over 20 years with an awesome son and daughter.
Meh
If ya spending that much on a 5 bedroom house ya’d expect each bedroom to have its own ensuite bathroom and another two guest toilets, one with outside access for boozy BBQ’s etc.
Sounds like they’ve skimped on the build, and are asking too much.
P.S.
And having to cross the main rd to access the surf sucks at that price.
Swindle ? it’s a swindle…
Did you read? It has a Batcave to the keyhole.
Your drone taxi can drop you off in the lineup – no need to deal with the rocks or tedious paddling
4 shitters…is that my friends on the couch? Cuz for $25 mill I’ll shit wherever the fuck I want and I couldn’t imagine being confined to certain (number of) spaces
$25mil and you’re still guaranteed to get washed on the rocks on your first ever paddle out the point
Or ask your butler to paddle you out from beach!
Just checked my shin, yep scar’s still there.
I had a dreamy surf there back in August. Managed to get in and out without getting Boulder-dashed! One of the locals on the way down gave me a stern warning to “wait my turn” I acknowledged this with a yeah cool, but was thinking fuck off cunt, I’ve been surfing since I was 3, I understand.
If you’ve got flexible hygiene standards, any room can be a shitter
Hence wood floors.
And glass coffee tables.
Xox
Japanese style!
I pee in the garden
Genuinely thinking of following the masses and packing up Mrs Surfads and the grom for a move north next year. Will put this place on the list though I prob need five shitters minimum.
Also how are you guys missing the shots fired from Devon Howard and Jonah Hill in the Tudor/WSL blood feud?
Common practice for modern homes is 1.5 bathrooms per bedroom. This 4 bedroom 6 bathes is so one can shower while the other dumps out in the half bath.
Hearing the move call. It’s been uttered in my household too.
Has it ever been understood how Albe Falzon came to give Carcass a glowing character reference?
runs over “there” levels and features???????
With your permission will amend typo.
Three shitters? Yeah! Four shitters? Nah, not for me.
I hate walking up the hill home after a surf. Count me out.
The North easterly blows the windows in once in a while.
Take the elevator
And a hike to the point.
You gotta be pointing to hikes for $25M
Could just buy a wave pool for that and never get dropped in on.
Well to be fair you need to hike to it anyway. Either down a treacherous muddy hill in the wet or along the bottom in the sun burning your feet before you take them out jumping in. It’s a farrrked place to surf
