15 Tortuga Place, Clear Island Waters is going to auction on May 3.
Originally built by cricket legend Craig McDermott, this Gold Coast home is a waterfront
heavyweight that’s still hitting sixes when it comes to size, style and sky-high potential.
Positioned on a sprawling 984sq m block with a prized northeast aspect to wide water, this grand estate pairs solid craftsmanship with skyline views that knock it out of the park.

Kollosche agent Julia Kuo said the Clear Island Waters abode was an “opulent and
high-class” home.
“This is a very solid big house with a very grand feel,” Ms Kuo said. “This area can be very hard to buy into as people hold on to these properties in this position. Not only does this home have a wonderful aspect and views, but it is situated very close to good schools, Broadbeach and in a very family friendly area.”

The kitchen.
Spanning 632sq m under roof, the home features soaring ceilings, elegant curves and a dramatic domed centrepiece that creates a sense of grandeur throughout.
The floorplan includes six bedrooms, multiple living and dining zones, and a granite kitchen with stainless steel appliances and a curved island bench.
Outdoors, a tiered alfresco terrace overlooks a 10m saltwater pool and private pontoon, perfect for relaxed waterfront entertaining.
“This is big enough for families who want
to bring their in-laws to live with them,” Ms Kuo said.

Tucked away in a quiet cul-de-sac, the home is just over 4km from Pacific Fair, The Star Casino and the beach, with local shops and the Surfers Paradise Golf Club even closer.
It’s also central to top schools including St Vincent’s, All Saints and Emmanuel College, making it an ideal address for growing or multi-generational families.
