One would forgive you for thinking Casa Campana was transplanted from the Mediterranean Coast to the rolling green hills of the Tweed Coast hinterland.
Designed by Peppa Hart in collaboration with Three Birds Renovations, the 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom, 2-car garage residence brings a luxurious slice of Mediterranean style to Northern NSW through its arching design, whitewashed walls and breezy, open-plan layout.
Once through the aforementioned archways, the open plan living and dining area is the star. Boasting enormous scale, custom panelling overhead, and concrete hard finishes — including the kitchen workspaces — Casa Campana is effortlessly cool.
Complementing the custom concrete additions are the handmade balustrades, door handles, and joinery throughout while modern comforts such as a double-sided gas fireplace and a butler’s pantry.
Secluded by its location and sprawling 1.31-hectare plot, the European feel extends outside via oversized bi-fold doors to the smashed tiling underfoot (whitewashed, of course) and further use of concrete leading to the heated saltwater pool.
Beyond the pool sees a poolside cabana that inspires hosting, complete with a woodfired pizza oven and sink and two heated outdoor showers.
There’s also a kids and adults cubby area — one featuring a rooftop slide and servery the other a built-in daybed and wet bar.
Back inside, the upper level of the home hosts the master suite – complete with a large walk-in robe, built with custom joinery and brass handles and an opulent design, open ensuite complete with concrete benchtops.
The upper terrace wraps the master suite and accompanying studio space.
The remains of the accommodation is found downstairs, each with built-in robes alongside laundry and a separate media room.
Built with the purpose of never needing to leave, there’s a range of smart home fixtures including smart home lighting and an inbuilt sound system throughout – controlled from the butler’s pantry – alongside electric Luxaflex blackout blinds in multiple rooms.
While secluded in its orientation, the residence is in a coveted pocket of northern NSW, due to its proximity to Byron Bay, Cabarita beach and its array of cafes, restaurants and boutiques.
The listing is with Luke Savage of LS Properties (+61 477 122 559) with a price guide of $4 million. Lsproperties.com.au

Sonny Bono’s former estate, a piece of local history in Palm Springs, California, has come up for sale.
The desert residence, on the market for $7.49 million, was home to the singer, songwriter, congressman and Palm Springs mayor from 1986 until his death in 1998, records show.
“Opportunities like this simply do not come around often,” said listing agent Louise Hampton with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California, who brought the home to the market last month.
“A hillside estate of this size, with this level of privacy and this historical connection stands among the most compelling offerings in today’s desert market.”
Bono was perhaps most famously the other half of singing duo Sonny & Cher, but also served as the mayor of Palm Springs from 1988 to 1992, and as the U.S. representative for California’s 44th district from 1995 until he died in a skiing accident in 1998 at the age of 62.
Located in the city’s Mesa neighbourhood on a hillside parcel, the colourful seven-bedroom property combines Mid-Century Modern design with Italian influences across its almost 9,000 square feet and multiple structures.
The house last changed hands in 2021 for $4.35 million. The sellers couldn’t be reached for comment.
There’s a great room, a formal dining area with a rock fireplace, a chef’s kitchen with two wine fridges.
The seven bedrooms include a primary suite with a walk-in closet and a “spa-style” bathroom with a soaking tub and steam shower, according to the listing. Several of the home’s guest suites include private patios or separate entrances.
Outside, there are lawns, olive trees, date palms and cacti alongside terraces, a new travertine pool deck, a pool, a tennis court and an oversize motor court with space for more than a dozen vehicles.
