Queensland mega mansions hit property market

Lifestyle estates with helipads, private chapels, karaoke bars, maids’ quarters and wine-tasting rooms have hit the property market in exclusive suburbs throughout Queensland. International marketing campaigns are spruiking the Sunshine State’s vast array of mega mansions that boast impressive lists of deluxe features, imported materials and bespoke elements.

In the heart of Brisbane is a 1177m2 tri-level mansion with six bedrooms, a home theatre, an internal lift, a drawing room, a games room, a library, and a 5000 bottle wine cellar. Lifestyle features include a pontoon, a slipway with a commercial-grade winch, a championship-sized floodlit tennis court, a heated infinity-edge pool and a versatile boathouse that could be converted to a music room or art studio.

Marketing agent Jason Adcock, of Adcock Prestige, said an original old house was demolished in 2006 before the 2725m2 riverfront property was transformed.

“There are a number of components that make it such a special place – the position and where it is on the river. It is just 5km from the city on a flat block with 42 metres of frontage to the Brisbane River that overlooks bushland and St Lucia Golf Club,” he said.

“Then you have the quality of the house itself … and the level of finishes that includes imported European marble and a solid timber wine cellar that is out of this world. It holds 5000 bottles of wine and has a full commercial-grade cooling system – the top restaurants in Brisbane would kill to have a wine cellar like that.

“The property is being marketing digitally throughout all international markets and we’ve already got an offer on the table (from an international buyer) and we’re expecting two more offers from local buyers.”

The property, at 19 Ormadale Rd, Yeronga, is being sold by an expressions of interest campaign closing on October 16.

In the Gold Coast hinterland, a resplendent white house spanning 2831m2 is nestled into the escarpment of North Tamborine. It is ensconced in the privacy of five pristine acres of manicured grounds that include a private chapel and a championship-size tennis court.

Beyond the marble porte cochere​ lies eight ensuited bedrooms, self-contained caretakers’ quarters, an executive office, a theatre, a music room, a wine cellar, a piano lounge with a fireplace, a formal dining room with coffered​ ceilings and chandeliers, and a six-car basement garage with a workshop. The fully tiled indoor pool presents a luxury take on Roman bath houses with pillars, glass walls, a heated spa, sauna and a steam room.
