A private estate with Beverly Hills looks and A-list vibes is up for auction, and it’s in a surprise acreage pocket in southeast Queensland.
Set on a sprawling waterfront block at Hope Island on the Gold Coast, the palatial eight-bedroom home boasts a raft of ultra luxe features including a port cochere, resort style swimming pool, in-ground fire pit, sports bar, and a glass-walled garage to show off your favourite classic car.
The Hope Island property is going to auction on July 12.
The kitchen, dining and lounge opens to the outdoor terrace.

Gold Coast business owner Brenton Fisher is the creator of the newly finished home, after discovering the block by chance while completing a job next door.
“Although I lived close by, I didn’t even know this spot existed,” Mr Fisher said.
“It’s a hidden pocket of acreage with all these prestigious homes.”
Mr Fisher purchased the land in May last year and immediately set to work with his architect designing a premium property befitting the exclusive location.

“It’s one of just eight waterfront blocks and all the other residences are grand estate-style homes, so I knew it would need to be large in size and impressive,” he said.
Just over a year later, the immaculately finished property well and truly meets that brief, with no expense spared in its design, scale, and striking street presence.
Set at the end of a driveway framed by date palms and dragon trees, the residence is known as ‘Salt’ and encompasses a two-storey main house, a self-contained studio, and secure car accommodation for up to eight vehicles.

The house offers A-list vibes.
The home itself unfolds behind a soaring port cochere and is entered via an oversized pivot door leading to a grand foyer complete with marble quartz feature wall and custom-designed circular staircase.
Once you’re inside, the premium finishes keep on coming, including multi-level skylights, polished concrete floors, imported marble, sky white dolomite, premium LED feature lighting, and bespoke custom joinery.

“I had previously built at Runaway Bay and received great feedback, so I used a lot of similar finishes,” Mr Fisher said.
“The aim was to make it amazing and maintenance free, and there’s not a centimetre that’s cheap or average.”
Boasting resort-style proportions, six of the property’s eight ensuited bedrooms are located upstairs, and five enjoy their own private balcony.
Downstairs is devoted to entertaining and includes a 12-seat theatre and sports bar along with an open plan kitchen, lounge, and dining area that leads directly to an alfresco terrace, overlooking the pool and waterway.

“I love having people come together so there are multiple areas to entertain,” Mr Fisher said.
The outdoor terrace boasts a built-in teppanyaki bar with fridge, the formal lounge features a fireplace, and the sports bar is an absolute scene stealer courtesy of a glass feature wall
adjoining the garage.
“It’s a space where you can park your classic car or collectable and enjoy it while you’re in the sports bar,” Mr Fisher said.
The residence has meticulous attention to detail.
Looking out the waterfront.
Beyond the entertaining terrace, a sunken firepit features a window into the swimming pool, and a 15m boat pontoon completes the coastal lifestyle.
Meanwhile, the location offers easy boating access to the Broadwater, while the property looks across the waterway to the pristine beauty of natural wetlands.
The property goes to auction via Mitch Booth of Amir Prestige Group on July 12.
