A luxury build hotspot

Recently, the Byron Bay wellness retreat featured in Hulu's Nine Perfect Strangers was snapped up by activewear icon Lorna Jane Clarkson.
Ms Clarkson paid a reported $10.98 million for the zen-like SOMA in the hinterland town of Ewingsdale.
The retreat was designed by Balinese architect Rieky Sunur and acclaimed designer and hotelier George Gorrow in 2018.
Set on a 21 acre block, the modernist structure features floor-to-ceiling windows that showcase the rolling hills and lush hinterland setting.

The star purchased the property for $6.8 million in 2021 and was partnering with architect firm SSdH to build a pavilion-style dual-level home that integrates into the natural surroundings of the site.
