This Nimbin property makes more money than the typical Aussie worker

In the heart of hippie country is a property that makes more money than the typical Aussie worker.

The unique property in the Byron Bay region earns the owners up to $278,000 a year.

A glass studio overlooking a dam and the Nightcap Ranges is a drawcard on the $2.3 million property for sale.

A 10-metre private waterfall has made this hinterland estate, about an hour and 15 minutes inland from Byron Bay, popular with guests wanting to realign their chakras.

The Nimbin Waterfall Retreat grossed $278,000 in its “best year”, the listing explains. Average years reap closer to $150,000.

The average Aussie salary is about $103,000, before tax, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics.

With a price guide of $2.3 million, the property promises a blend of business and otherworldly serenity.

Guests can choose from four configurations – two rooms in the main homestead, a cabin or the Glass House Studio. A manager’s residence is also on-site.

The little glass hideaway is in prime position to the rolling greenery.

“And just a little further, is the Glass House Studio, which is in arguably the best spot out of the structures,” the listing, handled by @realty agent Uri Ross, explains.

“It is a small insulated structure with an amazing outlook. Everything inside is new and as it is built on a chassis, it does not require council approval.”

The bedrooms in the warm and rustic 1950s main house have kitchenettes and balconies. The owner can occupy the larger portion of the home while two guests are booked in.

A hammock and an infrared sauna on the verandah are the places for some self-reflection before a drive to the famous Wategos beach at Byron Bay for a dip.

A paddock-to-plate lifestyle is possible thanks to a macadamia orchard, fruit trees and vegetable patch.

Tourism in the Byron Bay Shire delivered $751 million to the local economy in the past financial year.
