Mega sale price for Villa Casa

Speedy deal for the country’s most viewed property

AUSTRALIA’S most viral home has sold for about $9 million after just six days on the market. The breathtaking Gold Coast acreage property known as Villa Casa captured the hearts of property watchers across the nation, taking out top spot as the most viewed house for sale on www.realestate.com.au.

Marketing agents Amir Mian and Justin Haynes, of Amir Prestige, said the price remained undisclosed, but was a record for the emerging Gold Coast Hinterland suburb of Reedy Creek.

Offers of between $8m and $10m had been sought for the Mediterranean-inspired house on a 4497sq m lot at 15 Abbey Ridge Rd. Owner-builders, Ben Rochford and Dominee Gessner, of Tidal Constructions, said they were thrilled for the family who would call the luxury home their own in 2023.

The build was completed in November last year, with Tidal Constructions taking out the top prize for House of the Year at the Gold Coast Master Builders Awards.

Conceived by Reece Keil Design, the property appears to float above the skyline and has seven bedrooms and eight bathrooms across the main house and a granny flat.

Property records show the vendors bought the vacant block for $1m in 2018.

Meanwhile, a riverfront manor at Carrara has sold for $5.5 million after an unusual attempt to market the sprawling property with two separate auction campaigns.

The owner of the estate at 1-2 Witt Ave engaged two different agencies to market each of the property’s titles, including one with the seven-bedroom home, and the other with a tennis court and garage.

The smaller 736sq m lot at no.1 marketed as “waterfront land” by Harcourts Coastal agent Grant Stephens passed in at auction.

Mitch Palmer and Matt Hughes, of Ray White Broadbeach Waters, were tasked with marketing the house on a 2,300sq m lot at no.2, but secured a buyer who purchased both titles together.

“The vendor was splitting the titles up and giving it to two different agents, but as it turns out the best buyer in the market wanted the property as it was originally and I’ve now sold both lots combined to that one buyer,” Mr Palmer said.

Sale prices were recorded as $4.5m for the larger title, and $1m for the smaller one.

Villa Casa, at 15 Abbey Ridge Rd, Reedy Creek, has sold for about $9 million.
