Uniquely Australian yet unashamedly stepped in European heritage, Copperstone is an agrarian destination for guests, with a commitment to slow living and admiration for the beauty of the land on which it lies.

Set upon 48 acres of idyllic countryside in Bangalow NSW, as one enters the long driveway, they instantly feel transported miles from anywhere, perhaps even the Tuscan hills. With each turn comes a new surprise, a different detail, a definite sense of slowness.

Drawing upon Lane’s love of history, heritage and all things equine, the estate effortlessly matches modern design with the use of organic and recycled materials and features a main homestead, collection of recreational facilities (games room, pool house, tennis court, stables, dressage arena, walled garden, sandy beach and fire pit) and expansive lawns, waterways, riding trails, walking tracks, trampoline, and outdoor dining and entertaining areas.

With a design narrative that subtly juxtaposes modernity and old-world charm and applies a harmonious blend of textures and moody melange of warm, rustic tones of pink, rose, ecru and brown, inside Copperstone Lane has curated a beautiful mix of antique and one-of-a-kind custom made pieces to create a haven of peace and harmony where modern elegance unfolds, at ease with nature and the natural surrounds. 

A sunrise gallop across a paddock. An ice bath after a game of tennis. A meander along the walking track that borders Byron Creek. A midday dip in the mineral swimming pool. A long lunch with loved ones on the homestead balcony. Star gazing around the fire pit.... there is most certainly a felt magic about this estate, through its landscape, design, and serenity.

A hint of Argentinian horse ranch, a sense of splendour, a place for global travellers to retreat in private acreage surrounded by a landscape that is truly considered, Copperstone is yet another example of Lane’s commitment to regeneration, restoration, and fondness for European charm.

“My ethos when it comes to the building was to try and work with the natural environment, visually, but also metaphysically and physically. What a lovely way to exist in symmetry with the beautiful place we live in.”

"The overarching colour of the property is warm soft pink which is a tone of the earth that the property sits on - as you drive through the front gates you can instantly see this connection with the house in the distance, allowing the property to sit quietly in its natural environment.”

" I love the grace and sophistication that the equestrian element brings to Copperstone; it feels a touch regal. It’s really a lifestyle farmhouse on a large scale - it’s romantic and robust.”
