Inside the candy bar mansion: hidden doors, pet spa, arcade

1 month ago 9

What do you put in a home that’s nearly seven times the size of the average Queensland house?

A candy and popcorn bar, a cinema, a ‘great room’, a commercial cool room and butler’s pantry, balconies and ensuites for every bedroom, an elevator, an office with two meeting rooms, and a library with a hidden door to a housekeeper’s office — of course.

Welcome to ‘Magnolia Manor’, a brand new mansion with six bedrooms, seven bathrooms, a five-car garage, that spans three levels comprising a whopping 1543 sqm of living space.

This home at 51 Hillview Pde, Ashmore, spans 1543 sqm of living space.


A five-bedroom house with a tennis court and pool was demolished to make way for the epic newbuild, which was inspired by American architecture and brought to life by international designer, Michelle Marsden.

The entrance hall features a teardrop chandelier and towering void that leads through to a ‘Great room’ adorned with crystal chandeliers, linen wallpaper, and coffered ceilings, that opens out to a patio.

One of the best features is in the library where a cleverly concealed door in the bookcase opens to reveal a housekeeper’s office.

Every home cinema needs a candy bar, of course, and there’s one at 51 Hillview Pde, Ashmore.

The fun continues with an arcade games room with imported carpets that light up.

And for the fitness focused, there’s a gym and a private spa with an oversized double steam shower, inbuilt relaxation bed and sound system.

Upstairs, each bedroom has its own ensuite and private balcony.

The laundry comes with a dry cleaning cupboard and a pet spa shower.


The master bedroom features a parent’s lounge with a coffee and wine bar, a walk-in dressing room with his and hers LED-lit cabinetry, and a luxurious ensuite with a double-sized spa bath, double vanities, a separate make up station, a separate powder room, and a concealed laundry chute.

The actual bedroom leads off the retreat with French doors opening to a balcony showcasing views of the Gold Coast skyline.

The house sits on 5000 sqm of inner-city acreage, which accommodates a pool house with outdoor powder room and shower, kitchen facilities and a pizza oven.

Everything about this house is grand.


Imagine summer afternoons by the pool!


A separate, self-contained guesthouse with a kitchen, bedroom and bathroom ensuite, plus garage parking for two vehicles is perfect for guests and extended family.

And then there’s the resort-style, heated pool with a waterslide, and a basketball court.

Throw in a mudroom and a full-service laundry with an LG dry cleaning cupboard and a deluxe pet spa shower, and you have one of the biggest and most elaborate homes to hit the market in a long time.

The property is on the market with David Manby and Talei Kelly of Harcourts Property Hub Gold Coast with the auction scheduled for November.
