1 Westminster Court, Sovereign Islands.
No expense was spared in the property’s initial design and construction in 2009, with a recent renovation taking the ultra-luxe home to all new heights.
“It’s probably the best Paul Clout designed home on Sovereign,” Mr Kim said.
“It’s really an incredible house.”
Sellers Nigel and Kellie de Veth paid $6.7m for the resort-like home in 2021 after admiring it previously.
THE house blurs the lines between indoors and outdoors.
The couple embarked on an extensive renovation of the home, sparing no expense on updating the interior and exterior.
The works included repainting the outside, renovating the master ensuite, remodelling the kitchen, upgrading the pool and outdoor bar area, reconfiguring the lounge and adding European Oak herringbone floors, and recarpeting the bedrooms.
The result was a light, bright, opulent residence that rivals the world’s finest resorts.

The home’s wow factor is evident from the outset, with the entry including a gatehouse that leads to a footbridge across a pond.
On the lower level, indoor areas connect with an array of exterior spaces, including outdoor terraces, and covered alfresco areas.
Upstairs, each bedroom boasts a balcony and exterior seating area, and the home is capped off by a rooftop terrace complete with a spa and views of the water, hinterland, and Surfers Paradise.

Further features of the property include an executive style office adjoining the entry and a recently remodelled theatre, while beneath the home is a nine-car basement garage along with a temperature-controlled wine cellar and a gymnasium.
