It’s the mega mansion that towers over water. Fit for a King or Queen.
Welcome to the South East’s real-life “castle” home. Nestled on Knightsbridge Parade West at Sovereign Islands on the Gold Coast.
“It’s got a very palatial feel to it… Most of the feedback is it’s very European, built very solid,” Ali Mian from Ray White Runaway Bay told 9News.
The floor plan is as big as eight tennis courts.
Seven bedrooms, nine bathrooms, a gym, sauna, pool, pontoon, cigar and games room, home theatre, all stretched across three floors.
Of course there’s a lift to help you get to each one.
And lots of room to store one, two, even 15 of your own cars.
The list keeps going.
“The entire upstairs is master penthouse we call it… and it’s got a roof top terrace.”
The land was snapped up in 2005, among four blocks that fetched $9.5 million. At the time it was dubbed Queensland’s most expensive.
It took 12 years in total to design and build the fortress.
Based on the Taj Mahal, as well as UK TV Show ‘Midsomer Murders’.
Since 2010 just two owners have called it home, and now it’s back on the market.
The owner is asking for $9.8 million dollars and says he won’t budge. That’s because five blocks down from the castle, a home sold for $7 million last month, and it’s half the size.
Property experts say it’s likely to receive exactly that.
“A lot of them are still being sold under replacement cost and the unique positions that some of these do offer they’re locations you won’t sort of see again” John Newlands from REIQ said.
So far there are three buyers interested.
All are already Gold Coast residents, one is a nearby neighbour.
