Queensland Megamansion Set To Fetch Upwards Of $35 Million

A French manor-inspired megamansion on the Gold Coast hit the market Tuesday, with a guide price of around $35 million. That’s a more than $11 million price jump compared to its last selling price of $23.75 million in March 2021.

Now, the 3437sqm residence—located in Southport, Queensland, about 74km south of Brisbane—could set a record for the Australian state, according to listing agent Rebecca Moffrey from Ray White Burleigh Group. Currently, the record for the priciest sale belongs to a Sunshine Coast home that sold for $32 million last year.

Known as Alston, the six-bedroom, seven-bathroom residence offers views of the Nerang River, the skyline and the Broadwater. It’s also near two popular stretches of sand: Main Beach and Surfers Paradise, according to the listing.

Inside, guests and visitors are greeted by a two-level entrance hall with an imperial staircase and a crystal chandelier.

“The absolute majesty of the home just hits you. You walk in and you’re greeted by this incredible chandelier, and that’s even before you step onto the gorgeous, sun bathed terrace looking back towards the Broadwater,” Ms. Moffrey said in a statement. “The architecture just sweeps you away to the French countryside—you almost forget you’re on the Gold Coast with its stunning beaches just minutes away.”

There’s also a gourmet kitchen with marble bar, a wine room and a walk-in refrigerator, the listing said. Other amenities include a professional-grade wet bar, a study, a two-level library with a spiral staircase, a primary bedroom suite with two terraces and an indoor pool, plus a gym and sauna, the listing said. An elevator services all three levels, and there’s a five-car garage.

Outside, there are several covered terraces for dining and lounging, water features and native plantings. There’s direct access to the water via a sandy beach, and a boat dock and pontoon are included.

The sellers were not available for comment.

Grand final fever and the long weekend have dampened scheduled auction activity this weekend, CoreLogic reports.

The number of homes scheduled for auction this weekend is set to halve, with 1,324 properties listed, marking the quietest week since mid June. Melbourne will experience the quietest week since Easter, CoreLogic data shows, with 223 homes prepared to go under the hammer. In Sydney, 805 properties are expected to go to market, the lowest number in seven weeks.

With long weekends in Queensland and South Australia, numbers are also down in Brisbane (111) and Adelaide (86), less than half the properties available for auction the previous week. It’s a less dramatic drop in Canberra, where 83 homes are scheduled for auction, down -22.4 percent on the previous week.
