Top 10 most ogled Gold Coast houses
SPRING selling season is now well under way on the Gold Coast and online search activity points to the types of properties at the top of buyer wishlists.
The latest data from realestate.com.au shows the top 10 most viewed residential real estate listings on the Gold Coast this year to date.
While beautiful homes in sought-after beachside suburbs come as no surprise, the data also reveals a growing interest in acreage properties.
The third most viewed property listing on the Gold Coast this year is an opulent mansion in the hills at Tallai with a 16-seat cinema, a master bedroom with a roof that can open, wine cellar, pool, spa and gym among the many luxury inclusions.
First advertised for sale in February without a price guide, would-be buyers are still in the running after a contract on the 8888sq m estate collapsed.
Also in the top 10 was a five-bedroom residence on 1.26ha at 117 Wongawallan Rd, Wongawallan which changed hands last month for $1.5 million.
Originally a BoysTown prize home, the mountain sanctuary has views of the ocean, lush manicured gardens, an established orchard, championship-size tennis court and a pool.
Beyond the hinterland, the most ogled properties are located all along the Coast.
The No.1 most viewed listing was a beautifully presented Hamptons-style sanctuary
on the waterfront at 1088 Killymoon Dve, Hope Island.

On the central Gold Coast, another Hamptons-style palace at 2 Charlton St, Southport continues to attract its fair share of eyeballs.
