HERE’S SOME HOUSES FOR YOU, GAZZA:
GOLD Coast football star Gary Ablett has set tongues wagging about a prospective return home by putting his Glitter Strip mansion back on the market. Property reporter TESSA HAYWARD has found several attractive high end options on the Surf Coast where he grew up to help Gazza with his move.
HEY Gary, I know we haven’t met before but I hear you’re selling your riverfront property on the Gold Coast.
If you do sell and want to reinvest your money back home, I have done some research and found a few properties you might like to consider.
I understand your sprawling property with tennis court, lagoonstyle pool, Bali relaxation huts and floating pontoon in Bellara St, Ashmore, is on the market for $2.045 million.
To me that sounds like a pretty incredible property but I’m sure you’re missing the sounds of the crashing waves along the Surf Coast.
A friend of mine told me you grew up in Jan Juc, and you’re in luck, as a beautiful front row property has just hit the market there.
No.23 Ocean Blvd is on the market for $2 million to $2.2 million.
It is across the road from the beach, has a swimming pool with 17m lap lane and an 180 degree view across Zeally Bay to the Point Lonsdale lighthouse.
Properties on the front row don’t come up for sale very often, so you had better be quick to contact agent Dale Whitford before the expressions of interest campaign closes on September 11 at 5pm.
Another friend tells me that you might like to swing a club occasionally.
If that is the case, 255 The Es- planade, Torquay, could be ideal as not only is it positioned opposite Whites Beach but also overlooks The Sands golf course, providing you with the best of both worlds.
The contemporary house has five bedrooms, three living areas and a four-person lift.
It is on the market through Hocking Stuart, Geelong, agent Jake Carnell for $2 million to $2.1 million.
If you’re looking for a bit more privacy there is a sprawling 35ha property in Bells Beach up for grabs.
However, the price is a little bit higher than what you are selling your Gold Coast property for but I’m sure you have a little bit extra stashed away somewhere.
No.200 Bones Rd is on the market for $4.5 million through Hayden, Torquay, agent Patrick Hayden.
It has been in the same family for 35 years and because of the size of the property there is potential to turn it into whatever you want.
Now, I know there is a bit of speculation at the moment about you moving back to Victoria, even though you are still contracted to the Gold Coast Suns in 2018.
Whatever happens, I am still happy to have a chat to you about any of these properties or others on the Surf Coast. So, feel free to shoot me an email on tessa.hayward@news.com. au.
