Many waterfront homes come with the promise of water views. However, Tides on Cleveland Point offers a lifestyle that’s even more immersive. The contemporary four-bedroom residence seemingly floats from its peninsula position like a superyacht docked for the day.
Anchored on Moreton Bay west of Brisbane’s CBD, the modern mansion has a 55m absolute waterfront facade with a private jetty and uninterrupted views towards North Stradbroke and Peel islands.
Home owners John and Karen Cash, who are best known for co-founding the highly successful NAK Hair, bought the Shore Street North property back in 2012. A couple of years later the couple engaged Paul Braithwaite of Sprout Architects to create their contemporary dream home on the 847sq m site.
The pair are now leaving their personal sanctuary by the sea in order to relocate closer to Brisbane and spend more time with their grandchildren.
Jan Goetze and Tyson Clarke of Sotheby’s International Realty Brisbane have listed the landmark residence with a price guide above $10 million.
Crafted to capture water views and exceptional sunsets from almost every room, the residence on two titles has approximately 680sq m of internal living space and 122sq m of covered alfresco zones over two levels.
With a palette of limestone, Calacatta marble, custom oak cabinetry and engineered timber floors, the sophisticated coastal home has interiors curated to complement the natural surrounds.
The spacious kitchen is designed for avid entertainers with a 4.2m marble island bench, high end Miele appliances and a butler’s pantry that feeds conveniently through to the large laundry.
Throughout the ground floor level there are multiple spaces for dining and gathering with family and friends, including a family room with a gas fireplace.
Built for Queensland weather, the living areas all open up to external entertainment spaces with a covered outdoor kitchen, a full-width beachfront deck leading to the jetty, a pool deck, a Western Red Cedar sauna, a 14m heated swimming pool with swim jets, a spa and two outdoor showers.
There is also the option to purchase two adjoining 21m berths at nearby Raby Bay Marina.
Upstairs, the primary bedroom occupies its own wing and features floor-to-ceiling windows that frame the bay backdrop, a bespoke dressing room with an accessories gallery, as well as spa-inspired ensuite fit for haircare royalty.
Three more bedrooms have walk-in wardrobes and ensuites, while a fourth multipurpose room with integrated desks, plus an additional study nook, could suit a home office set up or extra accommodation.
Tides also has what it takes to impress collectors with a temperature-controlled wine cellar and an atmospheric “man cave” incorporating reclaimed timber from the original fisherman’s cottage that once stood on the site. There is also |a separate garage with a viewing wall designed to showcase the owners’ prized Ferrari.
State-of-the-art technology at Tides also includes a 39kW solar system, C-Bus lighting, ducted air-conditioning, automated blinds, CrimSafe security screens and a comprehensive camera and alarm system.
The Cleveland property, which sits next to Cleveland Yacht Club, is approximately 25kms from Brisbane’s CBD and is within walking distance of Cleveland Point Lighthouse, waterfront cafés, restaurants and foreshore parklands.
Tides at 223-225 Shores St North, Cleveland is listed with Jan Goetze and Tyson Clarke Sotheby’s International Realty Brisbane agents and has a price guide of $10 million.

In real estate, the term “award-winning” is often overused. But occasionally, there are homes that truly deserve a design gong.
Taking out the 2025 HIA ACT/Southern NSW Home of the Year, Icon House, designed by local architects Turco & Associates and built by Status Living, is a deserving winner.
The contemporary residence hit the market earlier this year, and the five-bedroom house has resurfaced with a fresh campaign and a new agent.
Number 5 Northcote Cres, Deakin, is now listed with Josh Morrissey of Hive Property with an asking price of “more than” $8.85 million.
In addition to its iconic design, Icon House has sweeping views of Canberra’s favourite landmarks from the Brindabella Ranges and National Arboretum to Parliament House and Telstra Tower.
Sitting on a vast 1795 sq m block, the house boasts an impressive 603 sq m of living space under its roof across three levels, including a full basement retreat.
Its standout exterior features dramatic cantilevered forms that appear to float above the hillside, while walls of glass frame the picturesque landscape.
The flexible footprint starts on the ground floor, where a gallery foyer breaks the layout into almost two pavilions: a main family-friendly zone and a guest wing, plus a formal lounge.
In the primary living area, the showcase kitchen anchors the entry level with an everyday lounge room and alfresco terrace to one side, and a dining room with yet another outdoor space and resort-style retreat to the other.
Cascata Grey honed marble, custom joinery and a suite of appliances fill the state-of-the-art kitchen and butler’s pantry, including high-end brands such as Liebherr, V-Zug, Electrolux, Miele, and ZIP HydroTap. There is also a Vintec 50-bottle wine fridge and a Fisher & Paykel CoolDrawer.
A three-sided Ortal marble fireplace takes centre stage in the main living room, and a huge family room offers another space for gatherings.
Outside, the entertainment continues with a heated 10m mineral pool, a six-person spa, a western red cedar sauna, plus a poolside cabana featuring a built-in Beefeater barbecue and gas fireplace. As an added bonus, an open-plan recreational area could be adapted for soccer, basketball, or pickleball.
Upstairs, via a private elevator, the main bedroom suite seemingly sits among the treetops and features a dressing room with a skylight and an ensuite including a freestanding bath and double vanities. Other bedrooms each have their own ensuites and there is a communal study nook on the same floor. Five designer bathrooms have custom walnut joinery, Villeroy & Boch fittings, Brodware tapware and marble finishes.
Down on the lower level, the huge four-car garage has EV charging provisions, as well as an adjoining home office or gym space. Beyond the garage, there is a mudroom and commercial-sized laundry with a dedicated drying room, plus a fully-equipped home cinema with a guest powder room.
Added extras at the award-winning Canberra home include additional gated parking, an integrated Sonos audio system inside and out, hydronic zoned in-slab heating across two, irrigated gardens, an advanced security system, 23kW solar, and underground water storage.
Icon House is close to Canberra Girls’ Grammar School, Deakin shops, Parliament House and the city centre.
