Riverpoint a haven at every turn

This Isle of Capri mansion is more resort-like than house with a raft of luxury features from a stateof-the-art outdoor kitchen to a private beach

IT’S one of the most jaw-dropping mansions to hit the market this year.

Welcome to Riverpoint, a six-bedroom residence described as the “pinnacle of luxury waterfront living and entertaining”.

Built on a massive 2,623sq m point position with 90m of main river frontage, the 1,651sq m residence is surrounded with lush tropical gardens and is reminiscent of a Thai resort.

Marketing agent Michael Kollosche, managing director of agency Kollosche, said there were only a few properties on the Gold Coast that were truly unique and Riverpoint was one of them.

“This is one of the Gold Coast’s most iconic homes,” Mr Kollosche said.

“There’s very few homes that you can walk in and feel like you’re permanently on holidays and that is what this home is like.”

A riverfront block of this size and with a house of this callibre was a rare combination on the Gold Coast market.

“The home originally took the builder about four and a half years to build,” Mr Kollosche said. “A lot of detail went into the build.”

From the moment you step inside the gates you feel a million miles away from Surfers Paradise. “Broadly speaking, when you walk through the front doors it’s very private and opens up to the river where you get the skyline views of Broadbeach and up to the Hinterland,” he said.

As you wind your way through the gardens and inside, the spectacular water views are on show from every room.

There are several areas for relaxation and entertainment, from a cinema, kitchen with scullery and cold room, an executive office, six bedrooms, seven bathrooms and three powder rooms.

There are formal and informal living rooms, a wellness retreat and even a man cave.

Taking centre stage outside is the alfresco pavilion, which sits at the heart of the property. It has a state-of-the-art outdoor kitchen and offers effortless entertaining overlooking the manicured gardens, pool and riverfront. Water enthusiasts will also relish the private beach, pontoon and boat ramp with direct access into the 10 car basement garage, as well as the tennis court and gymnasium.

Mr Kollosche said he was confident the property would sell.

“It’s a very unique home and sometimes for the buyer, it’s the opportunity of being able to acquire a home of this calibre,” Mr Kollosche said.

“You can’t put a figure on the time, effort and details that go into building a home like this.

“From acquiring the land through to the construction of the home, it can be a long process. So for someone to purchase something like this that’s already done, it is pretty special.”

Mr Kollosche said he had four private inspections lined up for today.
