$7 million Rumbalara penthouse breaks Gosford record
A penthouse crowning the recently completed Rumbalara Residences in Gosford has sold for $7 million, setting a new record for the Central Coast gateway suburb.
Located within a historic sandstone quarry on one of the highest sites in Gosford, Rumbalara sprawls more than two hectares of elevated bushland, bringing together design, nature, and a level of amenity rarely seen in the region.
The development was designed by Marchese Partners and is home to 188 residences across four buildings set in a gated community.
The record-breaking penthouse spans more than 450 sqm of living space, including 265 sqm internally and 186 sqm of private terrace, and was designed as a single-level sanctuary capturing 360-degree views across Brisbane Water and the Central Coast.
The apartment features WOLF and Sub-Zero appliances, natural stone benchtops, bronze fittings, and engineered timber flooring throughout. The living spaces include an electric fireplace, fluted stone kitchen island, and multi-zoned concealed air-conditioning, while the bathrooms feature porcelain tiles, freestanding bathtubs, and twin bronze showers, creating a tactile, timeless retreat that redefines luxury living.
The buyer, an owner-occupier relocating from the region, was drawn to Rumbalara’s unique offering.
“This penthouse sale far exceeds any record for an apartment within Gosford and it is a testament to the team behind Rumbalara Residences and just how special this development is,” said Deicorp Group Sales Manager, Nick Hunter.
“Once you step inside the grounds, there is a feeling you get, where life feels easier and the stress of work or the busy city just melts away. You’re surrounded by nature and have access to state-of-the-art amenities and a concierge service that truly puts everything at your fingertips, while only being an hour from Sydney."
At the heart of the development is a six-star concierge, delivered by Stedmans Hospitality, that provides a bespoke experience inspired by the world’s finest hotels. From in-home dining, floral deliveries and pet care to wellness and beauty bookings, dry-cleaning, and personal errands, every detail is seamlessly managed to elevate day-to-day life.
Residents also get access to a collection of state-of-the-art amenities across wellness, leisure and work, including a heated outdoor pool, spa and sauna, fully equipped gym, BBQ terrace, wine-tasting room, residents’ bar and dining lounge, cinema, golf simulators, and a co-working library ideal for remote working.
A proposed deli-style café is also being considered, bringing local flavour and convenience with poolside catering and in-home dining options.
Rumbalara sits at the heart of a city undergoing unprecedented revitalisation. A wave of transformative projects, totalling more than $1.2 billion in investment, is reshaping Gosford into a thriving lifestyle, education and employment hub including.
Key projects include the proposed $687 million Gosford Waterfront Marina, a landmark precinct featuring a 150-berth marina, new homes, restaurants, retail, and public spaces; the University of Newcastle’s $63.8 million Gosford campus, opening in 2025; and the $348 million Gosford Hospital upgrade, delivering expanded emergency and cardiology services for the region.
Additionally, the Government’s high-speed rail proposal could soon connect Sydney and Newcastle in under an hour — with Gosford as a key stop, reinforcing the Central Coast as one of Australia’s most connected regional cities.
Rumbalara Residences is a joint venture between Alceon, a privately-owned financier and investment company, and Deicorp, one of Sydney’s leading developer-builders.
Limited residences remain, priced from $855,000 to $5,500,000.
