The Queensland hinterland property making waves across the Pacific
There’s more than a touch of magic about this showstopping home that is ready for anything
2 min
It has only been on the market for a few days but this spectacular property south of the Gold Coast is already turning heads.
Director at PRD Real Estate Burleigh Heads, John Fischer, said he has been fielding calls from as far away as the United States about the Jayson Pate designed Dahlia Estate at 53 Gibsonville Street, Tallebudgera.
The boomerang-shaped, two-storey property includes four bedrooms, four bathrooms and space for five cars across the 940sqm floorplan designed to capitalise on the views of bushland and the abundant natural light.
Fully completed just last year, the property is being offered for sale by the owners, who are licensed builders.
Set within a 5.4ha estate in the Coolangatta hinterland with views to Springbrook and The Cougals, the house wraps around a Palm Springs-style heated magnesium swimming pool with a tennis court and viewing platform to the side. There’s even room to land a helicopter.
As might be expected from a property like this, all the extras have been included, from a four-person sauna and outdoor gym area to a spacious home theatre, a wine cellar and light-filled home office big enough for two. The entertainer’s kitchen has dual Miele ovens, induction cooktop, integrated dishwasher and microwave and steamer ovens. The butler’s pantry is equipped with a Zip tap for hot, cold or sparkling water as well as an InSinkErator.
The home is fully automated with Control4 smart home technology and nine music zones. Robotic mowers maintain the lawns.
The home’s electricity needs are offset by a 26kW solar system with 52 panels and 16kW battery back up. A 50,000L rainwater tank is in addition to the 10,000L firefighting storage and 10,000L irrigation tank. The guest house also has a 2,000L rainwater tank.
Designed for resort-style living, the property is still little more than a 30 minute drive from the main action on the Gold Coast.
While Fischer would not be drawn on price, he pointed to Buddy Franklin’s purchase late last year of a $9 million property at nearby Reedy Creek as a guide.
“And this is a far superior property,” Fischer said.
Address: 53 Gibsonville Street, Tallebudgera

Mirvac’s 45-level Trielle has topped out at Yarra’s Edge, pairing riverfront apartments with wellness facilities, private dining and resident services.

Mirvac has topped out Trielle at Melbourne’s Yarra’s Edge, with more than 70 per cent of the riverfront development sold and approximately 80 per cent of purchasers intending to make their apartment a home.
The figures, released on September 22, point to an owner-occupier audience for one of the precinct’s final residential towers. Mirvac began developing Yarra’s Edge in 2003, and its latest addition occupies one of the remaining absolute riverfront sites.
Mirvac CEO of Development Stuart Penklis said existing residents were among those moving up within the neighbourhood.
“Many purchasers already have a connection to Yarra’s Edge,” Mr Penklis said, describing buyers whose changing needs were encouraging an upgrade within the precinct.
“As one of the final residential towers within Yarra’s Edge, Trielle represents the culmination of more than two decades of creating one of Melbourne’s most established and sought-after waterfront communities,” Penklis said.
“Positioned on the Collins Street axis with absolute river frontage, Trielle offers residents a rare opportunity to enjoy sweeping views across the Yarra River, Melbourne skyline and Port Phillip Bay, while remaining seamlessly connected to the CBD. With Trielle now more than 70 per cent sold, we’re continuing to see strong demand from buyers seeking quality homes in established locations.”
The developer also flagged a penthouse and sub-penthouse collection with larger layouts, premium finishes and broad outlooks. The planned wellness centrepiece, The Oasis, encompasses a 900-square-metre elevated urban rainforest.
Mirvac General Manager Residential Development Victoria Elysa Anderson said Trielle had resonated strongly with buyers seeking a rare lifestyle offering in Melbourne.
“Opportunities to secure a new luxury residence on a riverfront site of this calibre are incredibly rare, particularly within a community like Yarra’s Edge,” Anderson said.
“What makes Trielle unique is the combination of exceptional views, world-class residential facilities and the lifestyle that already exists around it. Residents are buying into a mature waterfront community with parks, promenades, dining, wellness and strong community connections already in place.”
The 45-level tower brings a substantial new presence to that waterfront. Its residential offering spans one-, two-, three- and four-bedroom apartments, with Signature, Prestige and Sub-Penthouse collections accommodating different household sizes. The north-facing position connects the apartments visually to the river and city beyond.
Seven storeys above the promenade, the planned Oasis combines planting and a running stream with a Scandinavian-inspired wellness club developed with spa specialist Naomi Gregory. Facilities include a 25-metre lap pool, hot magnesium pool, sauna, hydrotherapy, a gym, yoga and Pilates room, and treatment spaces.
The amenity extends beyond exercise. Residents will have access to The Biblioteca library and workspaces, ground-floor work pods, and The Salone piano lounge. A private Chef’s Table dining room offers a setting for larger gatherings, while a cinema, games room and sports lounge broaden the entertaining options. Concierge services and a dog-wash area support everyday routines.
Trielle comprises a collection of one, two, three and four-bedroom residences. Reflecting strong demand from owner occupiers, approximately 80 per cent of purchasers to date intend to live in their homes, highlighting the project’s appeal to those seeking a long-term waterfront lifestyle.
Mirvac has recently delivered The Albertine, a premium apartment development on the edge of Melbourne’s CBD, and is nearing completion of Prince & Parade in Brunswick, further strengthening its portfolio of thoughtfully designed apartment communities in some of Melbourne’s most sought-after urban locations.
