Sugar Beach Ranch sits on 60 acres with two self-contained bungalows for you to enjoy peace, privacy, and idyllic country life (nearest neighbours 3kms away). A 50 metre walk to the beach, use of our 15 m pool, a journey across the car ferry, Ballina, Byron, Bangalow, and waterfalls are all within a 30-minute car trip. Wake up to songs of native birds. Bring your horse horse accommodation available, guitar, or your writing book and loll away the hours nurturing your soul in paradise.

Sugar Beach Ranch was the beloved home of CM Murphy, a music maverick, entrepreneur, and visionary. Chris' life has been a colourful journey; being thrust into the music industry at a young age, through to his success in managing INXS to international stardom and beyond. His tenacity and vision unparalleled. Sadly, in January 2021, Chris succumbed to a rare form of cancer and passed away at his beloved Sugar Beach Ranch in South Ballina.

Stevey and her husband Nick have decided to open the big white gates at Sugar Beach Ranch and share the beauty which Chris often referred to as ‘nature's playground’. Chris and the family spent hours riding horses on the beach, raced pigeons, wrote books, and built a thriving egg farm as they lived their Surfing Cowboys lifestyle....

Stevey Arena, his eldest daughter has decided to open the big white gates at Sugar Beach Ranch and share the beauty which Chris often referred to as ‘natures playground’.

Chris is greatly missed, however, having worked with her father for many years, Chris’s eldest daughter Stevey Arena, has taken the reins as Managing Director for the Murphy Petrol Group, and is continuing the legacy of her father. Chris recognised the opportunity to promote the creative potential of Australia's Northern Rivers at a global level. This is the driving force behind opening up Sugar Beach Ranch for people to enjoy this special place and at the same time, contribute to the local economy and enhance the area. …
