And then, there’s the real estate. “There’s something for everyone here, from beachfront apartments to multimillion-dollar stunners,” says Carol Carter of Queensland Sotheby’s. “Take The Palms, for example – 400 metres from the shore and oozing Palm Springs, which is cool – home to star couple Bec and Lleyton Hewitt.” Carter notes that Burleigh is often dubbed the ‘Bondi Beach of the Gold Coast’, with soaring property prices to match. According to Domain’s latest House Price Report, its median house price has surged by 75.4 per cent in just five years, reaching $1.4 million. “At first, affordability drew people in,” Carter explains. “But as the secret got out, prices climbed, turning Burleigh into a destination for affluent buyers who want both sophistication and sun-soaked simplicity.” A born-and-bred Gold Coaster, Brooke Simmonds has called Burleigh Heads home for 15 years. Balancing her role as a part-time PE teacher and freelance interior stylist, she and her husband transformed their original brick house into a character-filled home named Burleigh Bungalow, where they’ve joyfully raised their family beneath swaying palms. “Burleigh has it all – beach, creek, bush tracks, cafes, bars, breweries, and gorgeous design stores,” says Simmonds. “We spend our weekends at the local markets, kayaking or fishing on the water, or biking through the parks.

Fitness entrepreneur and founder of Evidence Based Training made a fortune off his Burleigh Heads investment A fitness entrepreneur has sold his epic Gold Coast mansion for a record $12m after owning it for just six months 2024 for the Burleigh Heads property called “Dune” The re-sale price smashed the previous $11m record “Dune is sold,” he posted to Instagram on Wednesday Rob and Meghan Gray sold their Burleigh Heads mansion ‘Dune’ for $11m to Mr Sullivan who re-sold it for $12m six months later Stunning design for outdoor entertaining at Dune Earlier in the week he posted a video detailing the costs of owning and selling Dune including stamp duty agent fees and interest he had paid on his mortgage “I’m basically walking away even; even though I sold it for a million extra,” he said I felt like having this much money caught up in a house in my current position just isn’t it for me.” whose online training and nutrition program has 690,000 followers on Instagram alone has shared clips online using the luxury property as a backdrop Over the weekend he shared a celebration video after he secured a Mermaid Waters property at auction for $3.1m Adam Sullivan is hugely popular on social media for his no-nonsense approach to training Real estate agent Ed Cherry of Coastal handled the latest $12m Dune deal off-market but would not comment on the buyer’s identity “It has sold unconditionally but I’ve got to respect the buyer’s privacy regarding the sale,” Mr Cherry said “I had been showing these buyers beach houses on the Coast and they knew of Dune and had wished they had the opportunity to buy it themselves “When I presented them the opportunity they jumped at it.” Mr Sullivan bought Dune from Rob Gray of celebrity developer Moroccan-inspired home featuring a rooftop pool Mr Gray also remained tight-lipped on who the latest buyer was The stunning multi-tiered home is an entertainer’s dream The unusual kitchen and open plan living situation “I was really excited when I found out who bought it and what they have planned for it,” Mr Gray said “When everyone knows what the purpose of the home is going to be and who the new buyer is Rob and his wife

sale because of overdue payments Dozens of homes have been listed for forced sale including a mysterious $385,000 property that could make someone a millionaire – but experts warn potential buyers to beware Experts were surprised to see not just units but also 16 coastal houses in a list of properties named for sale due to overdue council rates They are now set for auction in early March alongside properties such as eight holiday units in a Mercure resort complex on the Gold Coast But they warn there are a range of issues which need to be considered if buyers choose to make offers on the

in the sales contract “It is the Purchaser’s sole responsibility to secure and obtain vacant possession after completion,” she said Further any “actions required to correct any potential issues” would

Rose & Jones buyers agency said “it’s a bit of buyer aware there” a lot of people might see that as the opportunity to snag a bargain but the risks are probably outweighing that opportunity in a lot of those cases compared to a mortgagee sale where you do get the right to inspect it,” he said “If someone is very keen on a property like that and they are unable to inspect the property then probably leaning on the advice of a proper buyer’s agent would be helpful… There could be some unforeseen damage or issues with the property.” “If there’s a risk that they can pay their rates and the sale doesn’t go through then you’d want to be very clear on your legal advice and the risk that you’re carrying into that.” He said in over five years on the coast working in the industry he’d never heard of anyone having to be forcibly evicted when such properties were sold but warned “it might be a possibility” This home on the list required expert attention in 2019 when it last changed hands during a mortgagee sale Lawyer Matthew Williams of Gold Coast City Solicitors who has represented a multitude of local said “councils aren’t in the business of keeping people out of their homes so they are generally quite collaborative” with this type of action being taken in extreme cases where owners are often overdue by several years not something that just happens overnight,” he said “I’ve seen some where they’ve had to have the property sold where they’ve owed something like $10,000 to $15,000 in rates He said a public auction was the council’s right after following the processes to collect overdue funds particularly where there’s perhaps an owner of the home who refuses to leave the property or the they believe that the council are wrong and that they don’t owe that money,” he said “But in most cases by the time the auction goes through the homeowner is quite well aware that they’ve got to leave and quite often they’ve either found alternative arrangements… It’s very rare that someone would stay in the property once the auction goes through.” It is unclear what changes have been made to this property on the list since these images were taken in 2019 the courts will want to see that you’ve taken every possible step available to you to get them to leave.” “I suggest it would probably be viewed through the lens of tenancy in which case my advice to any client would be to simply issue the notice to leave (to the previous owner) under the Tenancy Act and then they would go through that QCAT process.” He said any buyers should be aware that they may have to go through that process if successful at council auction but just be aware that you may have to go through this action afterwards as well and factor that into your offer if it’s something you’re still willing to do,” he said 10 Parish Court could be a dual living home Among the houses listed for forced sale is 10 Parish Court a fixer upper that last sold for $385,000 in April 2019 after the ANZ

Named Dune, by Graya – the work of Gray’s high-end property business – the chic trophy estate has transacted for a Queensland suburb record. The brand new Burleigh Heads beauty has been purchased by health and fitness entrepreneur and online coach Adam Sullivan. Graya executed all elements of Dune, from design to build and interiors. The company shared the news on its Instagram page on the weekend and so did Gray, who uploaded a picture of himself congratulating Sullivan, with the warm encouragement that he “please look after her”. Sullivan shared a TikTok video of himself reclining on one of the day beds in his “new house”, and a happy Instagram snap with Gray, shaking hands outside the property, accompanied by the caption:  “I dreamt this into reality”. Listing firm Whitefox Gold Coast (which is a new venture between Gray, The Block’s Marty Fox and agent Nic Whitehead) also alerted its Instagram followers to the record-setting deal of $11 million, handled by Whitehead, the agency’s director. Sullivan has 651,000 fans who follow his @evidencebased_training Instagram page and many more on TikTok (418,000). He also regularly speaks of his business empire and coaching philosophy on podcasts with large audiences. Bec and Lleyton Hewitt sell their $4.3m Burleigh Heads home The Perth and Gold Coast locations where rents are higher than blue chip Melbourne Gray tells Nine and Domain the home is a true collector’s item – a limited-edition design. It is rare for a pool to be positioned off the kitchen, in a showpiece position, but this was one of the design approaches which set Dune apart, he says. The deal is a double-pronged success – the sale of his family home and a new benchmark achieved for the business. “The goal of all of our projects is we would like this to be a record set up,” Gray says. “We were striving for something that was really going to shake up the suburb and do something really different. “After I met Adam, he told me he’d been hunting a Graya property and it was one of his goals for the past four years.” The hillside home references the sculptural shapes of the Gold Coast’s famous coastline. Deep, sunbathed terraces and natural-toned interiors cascade to a turquoise, 17-metre pool and spa. The pool is finished by a see-through, acrylic viewing window. Beyond, ocean and skyscrapers twinkle. “(Adam) loved how much of a trophy home it is – it is definitely a collector’s item. One of one,” Gray says. The Gray family loved living in Dune while several Graya projects are underway. One is two “beautiful”, four-level houses on one of Queensland’s most expensive streets – Hedges Avenue in Mermaid Beach – which is launching soon. Another is Kloud Palm Beach, which retired Grand Slam champion Ash Barty bought into. “The two penthouses have just been released to the market and construction is up to level three,” he says. “We should out-do the highest sale in the suburb in that project. The product definitely warrants that.” The tennis legend’s Kloud deal secures her a slice of a market which is experiencing hot demand. Burleigh Heads is one of the standout postcodes for capital growth in Queensland. The median house price is $1,407,500, a rise of 75.4 per cent over five years, Domain’s latest House Price Report shows.
