Actor Liam Hemsworth secures $6.5 million Byron Bay retreat

Australian actor Liam Hemsworth has paid $6.5 million for his Byron Bay retreat.

It was a former wedding venue at Newrybar.

The youngest brother of Luke and Chris secured the 3.87 ha hinterland property in November.

The home, marketed in 2011 as one of the finest homesteads in the Byron Bay hinterland, was built in a U-shape around a central swimming pool and pavilion. It was restored and re-designed by its former owner, architect and Hollywood production company director Jason Schepisi.

Schepisi had paid $1.3 million for the property before undertaking a full scale renovation. It was sold in 2013 for $1.8 million to the Rooke family. 

It has five bedrooms and two living areas.

Across the garden courtyard there's a second residence, a two bedroom apartment.

Now all three Hemsworth brothers, and their parents, have a Byron Bay property.

It all kicked off in with the purchase at Broken Head by Chris Hemsworth and Elsa Pataky in 2014 for $7 million.
