Gold Coast Suns player Touk Miller has sold the Gold Coast home he had built for $4.6m.
Footy superstar Touk Miller has sold his award-winning Gold Coast home for a stunning $4.6m, after spending three years in the home he had built.
The four-bedroom house at 30 Aruma Ave, Burleigh Waters, won an HIA Home of the Year award when it was completed in 2023.
The four-bedroom property at 30 Aruma Ave, Burleigh Waters, won a HIA Home of the Year award for its “delicate balance of colour, pattern and texture”.
“My brief to the architect was that I wanted to merge a coastal home with something relatively modern and minimalistic but with natural features,” the Gold Coast Suns player said.
“It probably came out better than I thought, especially considering it was my first time building.”
After passing in at auction, the property sold on July 3 to an owner-occupier family via private treaty.

Kollosche agent Lee McFarlane was in charge of the sale, and said he was able to work out a deal with the buyers through private negotiations.
“It was a pleasure to deal with Touk, he was fantastic,” he said. “He’s over the moon [at the sale].”
The house was designed with a dark and rugged design: taking inspiration from the Great Ocean Rd in Victoria, Miller’s home state.
The home’s build finished in 2023, featuring an all-black facade made of Japanese Shou Sugi Ban timber.
“I grew up in inner-city Melbourne, but my grandma lived in Geelong, so we were up and down that coastline a fair bit, and I love the homes you find around Torquay,” he said.
“[The house] became quite sophisticated and streamlined, and it has this great design and flow, with an enormous amount of natural light and a lot of airflow.”
The home’s all-black facade is made of Japanese Shou Sugi Ban timber, which helped it win the HIA award for its “delicate balance of colour, pattern and texture”.
The home was initially passed in at auction, before selling via private treaty to an owner-occupier family.
The house is designed for flexible living arrangements, with its bedrooms spread across four different corners of the home’s two floors.
“It’s an easy space to live in,” Miller said.
“You can have multiple people in the house and not be on top of each other or you can be by yourself in your own oasis.”
Miller said he had no plans to leave the Gold Coast, even if he was parting ways with this house.
Miller bought the land because of his attachment to the Gold Coast, and said he had no plans to leave the city any time soon.
“I won’t be going far,” he said. “Maybe the beach at Tugun or Currumbin.
“The whole reason I originally bought there is it’s round the corner from one of my favourite cafes … it’s a really unique part of the Gold Coast and especially Burleigh, as there’s everything at your doorstep and you don’t need a car to get around.”
