In 2020, Parkway Drive were listed at No. 32 in Rolling Stone Australia's 50 Greatest Australian Artists of All Time issue.
Set on 660 square metres, the home also features a basement-level gym and a separate home office.
According to Cotality records, Gordon bought the home in 2019 for $2.45 million.
Records show there were later development applications lodged for an extension/alteration and a swimming pool/spa.
Cotality records show the property was previously listed for sale in March 2023 with an asking price of more than $10 million, and spent 43 days on the market.
Records also show it was most recently listed for rent at $4000 per week in June 2023.
The marketing describes the property as "undoubtedly one of Byron Bay's finest offerings", and it also includes expansive outdoor spaces, entertainment patios, a sunken fire-pit, a magnesium infinity pool and spa.
"Positioned on one of Byron Bay's most exclusive and rarely offered ridgelines, this designer masterpiece captures stunning 180 degree views over Arakwal National Park to the azure of the Pacific Ocean and Broken Head and beyond," the property's marketing states.
"The look of this home takes inspiration from the Mediterranean and is well laid out to provide a seamless in/outdoor lifestyle for the entertainer."
Expressions of Interest for the property close on July 31.
