Chris Hemsworth continues development of his family ranch at his $4.25million Byron Bay estate – including stables and a riding arena for his wife Elsa Pataky
Chris Hemsworth finished building his sprawling $20million mansion in Byron Bay last year.
And the Hollywood actor, 36, has now moved onto his new project – a sprawling family ranch also located Byron Bay’s ritzy locale of Broken Head.
Aerial images taken on Sunday show construction has begun on the 35-hectare estate purchased last year for $4.25 million.

To the likely delight of Chris’ wife Elsa, an avid horse rider, large stables surrounded by fenced-off riding tracks have recently been built on the land.
A new horse riding arena complete with jumping fences has also been erected nearby.
The family appear to be in the process of creating a garden oasis complete with a fountain outside the stables.

According to the report, no plans have yet been submitted to construct a home on the parcel of real estate.
This suggests that the land is intended to remain a recreational facility for the three Hemsworth brothers, Chris, Luke and Liam and their families – all of whom live nearby.
The Hemsworth clan have spent $17 million snapping-up property in beautiful Byron Bay over the past five years.
