This grand trophy home perched on the water’s edge offers a dream lifestyle, complete with swimming pool, tennis court and over 26 metres of river frontage.
The stunning two-level waterfront home on the Gold Coast combines luxury living with sweeping river views, and is now being offered to the market.

Set on a land size of 2321 sqm, the palatial property at 22-24 Saint Raphael Terrace, Sorrento is tucked away at the end of an elite cul-de-sac for added privacy.
“It’s a property that is unrivalled in scale,” said Kollosche Broadbeach agent Bodey Reynoldson.
“It basically will tick every box for whatever criteria buyers are looking for: it’s got the big pool, tennis court, that large compound feel a home on a large-sized block can only offer, water frontage and access to the main river.”

The property - positioned along main river in Sorrento’s exclusive Riviera Estate - last sold in May, 2025 for $10.961 million with the current vendors seeking a lifestyle change. It goes to auction on May 8.
“We've had some really strong interest so far,” Mr Reynoldson said.
“We've had a couple of private inspections already with people that wanted to come through exclusively, and an open home inspection where 13 groups come through.
“When it sold last time it was bought prior to auction, so it didn't get much of a chance for people to come and take a look.”

All six bedrooms have either a private or shared bathroom, while the master suite features a private balcony with views to the water and hills.
The open kitchen, living and dining zones include a fireplace and wet bar and bifold doors open up to the large outdoor decking area.
The property has a championship-sized tennis court with covered courtside seating, a saltwater swimming pool and spa and poolside gazebo. Picture: realestate.com.au
The home has plenty of space to move with multiple secondary living zones and luxury finishes like soaring ceilings, timber floors and a winding timber staircase connecting the two levels.
Outdoors, beautifully manicured gardens and towering palms border the entertaining decks, with one overlooking the pool, spa and tennis court and the other offering river vistas.

Mr Reynoldson said the home - which has been significantly transformed over the years - could offer multi-generational living. The family that owned it prior to the current vendors held it for almost 20 years, raising their children from birth to adulthood.
“It's a home that represents the lifespan of their family. To replicate that would obviously make the most sense, and it's a perfect home to do that. There is genuinely so much to love about the property,” he said.

Since the property sold last May, the Bundall area - which includes Sorrento - has seen mega sales, including a record-breaking $18 million for an opulent mansion at 26 Marseille Court, Bundall, which hosted famous guests including Frank Sinatra, the Sultan of Brunei, Whitney Houston, and The Rolling Stones.
“There’s been some really encouraging sales in that $10 to $18 million range, where they've sold either off market prior to auction or just after an auction campaign through private treaty,” Mr Reynoldson said.
