<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/broadbeach-qld-4218">Broadbeach</a> offers plenty of reasons to live vertically, but moving from a substantial family home into an apartment can expose the compromises of high-density living. Privacy, room for guests and usable living space tend to matter more when an apartment is intended as a permanent home rather than an occasional coastal base.

A typical residential floor at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-eveleigh-broadbeach-7-9-surf-parade-broadbeach-qld-4218">The Eveleigh</a>, on Surf Parade,&nbsp;contains just four apartments. The 94-residence development by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/hirsch-faigen">Hirsch &amp; Faigen</a> is predominantly made up of expansive three-bedroom homes, with a limited collection of half-floor penthouses above.

Across the apartment floors, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/rothelowman">Rothelowman</a> has used the relatively limited number of residences to give each home greater access to natural light and outlook. Living spaces extend towards full-height glazing, while a series of bay windows frame selected views across the Pacific Ocean, city and hinterland rather than treating the building edge as a continuous wall of glass.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149670 project_image_fid=360965]

“The apartment floors deliver a collection of homes that embrace controlled outlook via a series of bay windows deliberately framing moments of view,” Rothelowman Director Kim Lowman said.

From outside, those projecting forms contribute to the tower’s faceted profile. Strong horizontal and vertical elements establish its proportions, while the changing position of the sun alters the light, shadow and reflection across the façade throughout the day.

The same attention moves inside the apartments, where the material palette combines warm timber, natural stone, metallic detailing and softer curved forms. Kitchens sit within the main living zone, with stone island benches, integrated joinery and European appliances, before the living areas extend towards the glazing and the outlook.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149670 project_image_fid=360981]

Three genuine bedrooms provide room to accommodate family and guests, while two secure car spaces and storage address some of the practical considerations that can become more noticeable when moving from a larger home. Feedback from the display suite has centred on the warmth and restraint of the interiors, with buyers commenting that the residences feel like homes rather than conventional coastal apartments.

A limited collection of half-floor penthouses occupies the upper levels, increasing the scale of the living spaces and adding private balconies and elevated finishes. From this position, the outlook extends between the ocean and hinterland.

Outside the private residences, The Eveleigh separates its shared spaces between the podium and rooftop. The podium is centred on wellness, with subtropical landscaping surrounding a swimming pool and pool terrace, yoga garden, private gymnasium, sauna and hot and cold plunge facilities. Landscaped retreats and pavilions provide additional places to sit away from the main recreation areas.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149670 project_image_fid=360966]

Higher in the building, a rooftop pavilion and private dining suite sit alongside resident lounge, barbecue and outdoor dining areas, opening towards panoramic views across the ocean, city and hinterland.

“Buyers are no longer just looking for an apartment, but a lifestyle where they can relax, reset, and enjoy a balanced way of living,” Hirsch &amp; Faigen Director of Sales Matt George said.

Interest to date has come from established owner-occupiers and interstate lifestyle purchasers, including buyers planning a future move to the Gold Coast. Many are coming from larger homes and want to reduce ongoing maintenance without giving up space for family and guests, privacy, two car spaces or the ability to entertain at home.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149670 project_image_fid=360969]

Much of that daily life can also take place beyond the building without requiring a drive. Kurrawa Beach and Pratten Park are an easy walk from Surf Parade, while Pacific Fair, Oracle Boulevard, The Oasis, restaurants, cafés, entertainment and public transport are also within walking distance.

The Eveleigh is Hirsch &amp; Faigen's fourth Gold Coast development since entering the market in 2021, following The Hemingway at Palm Beach, The Emerson at Kirra and Yves at Mermaid Beach. Each of the preceding projects sold out before completion.

“Broadbeach had been on our radar throughout our time operating on the Gold Coast,” the developer said. “Following our projects in Palm Beach, Kirra and Mermaid Beach, Broadbeach represented the natural next step for the business.”

The Surf Parade site brought together proximity to the beach, protected coastal outlooks and walkability to dining, shopping and recreation. Hirsch &amp; Faigen also identified the street as an emerging premium residential address, with enough separation from Broadbeach's busier destinations to retain a quieter environment at home.

The Eveleigh is now under construction by Maxcon, with completion forecast for mid-2028. Three-bedroom residences are currently available from $2.87 million.

The Eveleigh brings house-like apartments to Broadbeach

A long-stalled Campbelltown development site is back in play, with new plans for 139 apartments set to supersede a mixed-use scheme approved almost a decade ago but never built.

The new proposal for 28 Cordeaux Street would deliver 116 market and 23 affordable apartments in a part 14-storey building, bringing a substantial new project into a Campbelltown market where new apartment supply remains limited.

Plans have been filed over the 3,092 sqm corner site at Moore-Oxley Street, around 600 metres from Campbelltown Railway Station and the city-centre retail core.

The site already carries a mixed-use residential approval dating to 2016. Doroch Architects has now been engaged on a larger replacement scheme, which is progressing as a State Significant Development Application following a Housing Delivery Authority determination in August 2025.

The apartment mix comprises 39 one-bedroom, 72 two-bedroom and 28 three-bedroom residences. Two-bedroom apartments make up just over half of the project, while three-bedroom homes account for 20 per cent.

<img alt="First look: New 139-apartment plans revive long-stalled Campbelltown city centre site" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="136dd5b9-3791-4da6-9e31-76f533f5b4de" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Campbelltown%20da2.png?VersionId=LgOSy9nwf5u.MGswBBwaGGxuX8QpHSl_" />

Of the 139 apartments, 23 will be delivered as affordable housing under the in-fill affordable housing provisions of the Housing SEPP. The affordable component represents 15 per cent of the residential gross floor area and will be managed by a registered Community Housing Provider.

Doroch has sought to break the scale of the building into two distinct elements, with a masonry podium of around four storeys establishing the street edge before the residential tower steps back above.

The corner position has shaped that approach. Cordeaux Street faces toward the commercial and civic centre, while Moore-Oxley Street leads into the lower-scale residential neighbourhood to the south, and the design verification report describes the site as "bridging the commercial core to the north and established residential areas to the south."

The podium will be expressed predominantly in face brick, while the upper levels shift to brushed and grooved concrete cladding with darker metal detailing. Recessed sections, deep balcony edges and landscaping break down the upper form, with an approximately 11.8-metre setback to the northern boundary addressing the adjoining St Peters Anglican School.

Campbelltown has been starved of new residential developments in the last decade.

The only other notable development set to come to market this year is ALAND's Queen Square, a mixed-use precinct on over two hectares that will comprise apartments above a vibrant ground-level retail and hospitality dining precinct.

First Look: Sherlock Construction pitches apartments for low-rise Deception Bay

Queensland builder-developer MAYD has revealed the first look at its major North Kirra beachfront development, lodging amended plans that reduce the number of apartments and increase the proportion of larger residences.

The project is planned across a substantial 4,742 sqm amalgamated site spanning seven lots at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/2-6-pacific-parade-bilinga-qld-4225">2-6 Pacific Parade</a> and 27-33 Golden Four Drive in Bilin​ga, directly opposite Nor​th Kirra Beach.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/mayd-group">MAYD</a> secured the site for $32.5 million in 2025, in what was one of the Gold Coast's largest property transactions of the year.

The development will be delivered across two stages, with the first stage carrying an estimated gross realisation value of around $360 million.

The latest amendments seek to reduce the overall apartment count and shift the project further toward the owner-occupier market, with larger residences designed for buyers wanting considerably more space than traditionally offered in a beachfront apartment.

The residential mix will include townhomes, oversized two-bedroom apartments, substantial three-bedroom residences and four-bedroom homes.

MAYD has appointed Cera Stribley to lead the architecture and interiors, with the Melbourne-based design practice drawing on the beachfront setting through a series of ocean-facing terraces and heavily landscaped balconies.

Strong horizontal forms and curved balconies will define the exterior, with subtropical landscaping integrated throughout the building to soften the built form and increase the connection between the residences and the beachfront.

The project will also include an extensive collection of resident wellness and lifestyle facilities, continuing the broader shift across the Gold Coast's luxury apartment market toward larger homes supported by resort-style amenity.

<img alt="MAYD" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="d1bcbb05-e659-4b47-8bd4-1e595315e2ad" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-27%20at%202.05.03%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=jj0XEud1X1DuLt7_KyElhjMdZGOXmLHP" />

MAYD Founder Todd Mould said North Kirra was increasingly appealing to buyers attracted to the more established, lower-density character of the southern Gold Coast.

"North Kirra presents one of the most compelling luxury residential opportunities currently emerging in Australia, combining absolute beachfront with the character and authenticity that buyers are increasingly seeking, and the same sense of tight-knit community that defined Burleigh and Currumbin perhaps 10 or 15 years ago," Mould said.

"With Gold Coast Airport on its doorstep, it also offers a level of accessibility that broadens its appeal across almost every market demographic."

The project comes as the southern Gold Coast continues to attract an increasing share of high-end apartment development and buyer activity.

Kirra in particular has emerged as one of the region's more tightly held beachfront markets, with its relatively low-density character, established surf and hospitality scene and proximity to Gold Coast Airport differentiating it from the higher-density markets further north.

Mould said those characteristics had informed the approach MAYD and Cera Stribley had taken to the project.

"We've worked closely with Cera Stribley to create a vision that is deeply connected to its surroundings," he said.

"Inspired by the coastline itself, the architecture has been shaped around space, privacy and resort-style living, creating a collection of homes that reflects the next generation of luxury on the southern Gold Coast."

MOTIV Managing Director Carly Cottam, who has been appointed to market the project, said buyer attention had continued to move south along the Gold Coast.

"Purchasers who may once have defaulted to Broadbeach, Main Beach or Surfers Paradise are increasingly recognising the value of a genuine beachfront location that offers lower density, strong amenity and a more established sense of community," Cottam said.

"Kirra has a powerful combination of growing demand and genuine scarcity. Beachfront supply is inherently constrained, the area remains relatively low density, and buyers are increasingly placing a premium on locations that feel established, uncrowded and authentic rather than heavily developed."

Cottam said the proximity to Gold Coast Airport was also proving increasingly important for interstate and second-home buyers.

"Being minutes from Gold Coast Airport makes it particularly compelling for interstate buyers, frequent travellers and second-home purchasers who can access an authentic coastal lifestyle almost immediately after stepping off a flight."

The acquisition takes MAYD's active development portfolio to more than $500 million, with the North Kirra project representing one of its largest undertakings to date.

MAYD is targeting an early 2027 launch.

First look at MAYD's North Kirra mixed-use precinct

<main data-perf-region="main">
Castle Hill, the longtime hub of the Hills District, has been one of the major beneficiaries of Sydney's Metro expansion, with improved connectivity helping drive continued population growth, development and buyer demand across the Hills District.

But despite that growth, the suburb has seen relatively few major new apartment projects brought to market over the past 18 months.

Hills District developer Reve Group is looking to fill that gap with <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/nova-r-ve-castle-hill-2-garthowen-crescent-castle-hill-nsw-2154">Nova Rêve</a>, a major new mixed-use precinct on the corner of Garthowen Crescent and Old Castle Hill Road, a short walk from Castle Hill Metro Station and Castle Towers.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152737 project_image_fid=377679]

The project will comprise three residential towers alongside a hotel, restaurants, cafes and a skybar, more than 1,600 sqm of ground-floor retail and almost an acre of landscaped gardens.

It represents the largest project undertaken by Reve Group, the development arm of the Kassis family, which has been building across the Hills District for more than 30 years through Kassis Homes.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152737 project_image_fid=377675]

Nova Rêve also represents a significant step up from the family's first apartment development, Grand Rêve, which was delivered nearby on Garthowen Crescent.

Grand Rêve introduced larger, house-like apartment layouts and premium inclusions including Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances to the Castle Hill market.

Nova Rêve takes that approach to a precinct scale, combining the residential component with hospitality, retail and substantial public and resident landscaping.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152737 project_image_fid=377685]

Reve Group Managing Director Sam Kassis said the project reflected the family's three decades of building in the Hills, which has evolved from trophy homes on quarter-acre blocks to larger-scale apartment development.

"Grand Rêve was our first apartment project here and it showed us what this pocket of Castle Hill could be. Nova Rêve is the refinement of that idea: not just apartments, but a place the whole suburb can use," Kassis said.

A key part of that approach is the hotel, which has been designed to operate as an amenity for the wider Castle Hill community rather than solely hotel guests.

It will include restaurants, cafes, skybars and all-day dining, alongside conference and event facilities catering to business functions, community groups and private events.

At ground level, more than 1,600 sqm of shops and cafes will open onto the surrounding streets and landscaped areas.

Almost an acre of gardens designed by Land and Form Studios will run through the precinct, incorporating pathways, seating, barbecue areas and children's play spaces.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152737 project_image_fid=377680]

Reve Group's Romio Georges said creating an active ground plane had been central to the planning of Nova Rêve.

"There are gardens with pathways, barbecues, seating and play areas, shops and cafes opening onto the street, and a hotel with restaurants and a skybar that anyone in Castle Hill can walk into," Georges said.

The project's elevated position on one of Sydney's highest ridgelines will also provide apartments with outlooks toward the Sydney skyline, surrounding parkland and the Blue Mountains.

More than 80 per cent of the apartments will occupy corner positions, with Turner responsible for both the architecture and interiors.

Pherous and his wife Louise will move from their current New Farm home when the mansion is completed.
They married at Hayman Island in 2015.
The 1103 square metre Moray Street block was sold by Jane Gibson, the widow of eminent Brisbane architect Robin Gibson, who had paid $200,000 for the site in 1986.
Place Projects director Syd Walker handled the sale of the land, in a street lined with luxury apartment buildings.
Pherous has also invested in numerous resources companies.

Sydney lord mayoral aspirant Christine Forster and her partner Virginia Edwards have forked out $1.51 million on a Potts Point ­apartment.
They’ve bought it from the Maple-Brown rich-lister family, who had financial journalist Joe Aston as their tenant.
It was where he filmed his app­earances on the now defunct Financial Review Sunday television show.
On vacating the two-bedroom flat, Aston recently wrote of his displeasure at “turgid strangers with morbid delight” coming through the open for inspections held by Richardson &amp; Wrench agent Greg McKinley.
He wrote “homelessness was preferable to the indignity”.
It sits in the 1951 Aaron M. Bolot-designed block on Wylde Street.
<a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/sold/property-apartment-nsw-potts+point-127732338" target="_blank">The fourth level, two bedroom apartment</a> became available at $1,095 a week.
The Surry Hills couple quickly secured new tenants last month for the renovated apartment.
If Forster does make the move into the neighbourhood she’ll be crossing paths with Councillor Kerryn Phelps, who lives just up the street.

Macquarie Bank Limited CEO and managing director Mary Reemst and her husband Greg are selling their Avoca Beach weekender in The Lighthouse.
It sits in one of the coastal suburb's priciest blocks, the same where 2GB radio broadcaster Alan Jones sold in last year.
He scored $4.65 million for his 450 square metre apartment which has three bedrooms, a separate massage therapy room and a grand entertaining terrace with plunge pool. It had been a pricey $5,000 a week rental.
Jones paid $4.5 million in 2008.
Reemst and George will expect stronger price growth on their unit in the boutique block of six on the Avoca Beach hillside designed by renowned architect Cathy Slater.
The 295 sqm Cliff Avenue apartment cost the couple $2 million in 2003 and has three bedrooms and a private plunge pool. Reemst and George and the longest owners. Every apartment has traded for over $3 million.
George Brand Avoca Beach agents Kyle Brand and Amelia O'Donnell have the listing with $3.5 million hopes.
Reemst was appointed managing director and CEO of Macquarie Bank Limited in 2014 having been Macquarie's head of credit within the risk management group.
She served in that role for 11 years.

Former NRL player Nigel Plum has pulled his Glenmore Park investment property from sale.
The Griffith-based Plum, who played for the Sydney Roosters, Canberra Raiders and Penrith Panthers over his 10 year career, paid $615,000 in 2013 shortly after the home was built.
The four bedroom home two separate living areas, a study and an alfresco entertaining area overlooking a swimming pool.
Plum was seeking $839,000 through Ray White Glenmore Park agent Robert Norgate before it was pulled. The home was recently up for rent at $750 a week. 
Plum was a fan favourite at the Panthers, spending most of his 150 game career there with 92 games.
In 2011 he was voted Big League Magazine's Hardest Hitter.

Former NRL player Nigel Plum pulls Glenmore Park investment off the market 

Coorabella, the Byron Bay hinterland estate that hosted Margot Robbie's 2016 wedding to British film director Tom Ackerley, has been snappily sold for $6.2 million.

The Coorabell property had a listing price of $6.5 million, but vendor, the Love &amp; Hatred luxury jewellery founder Giovanni D'Ercole, was happy to take the strong offer just 26 days in, a very quick sale in Byron Bay trophy home sale terms.

Coorabella has been owned by D'Ercole for the last 25 years but he recently swapped the hinterland for the beach, spending $4.3 million on the Brownell Drive dress circle near Wategos.

The property, which is surrounded by lush rainforest and green valleys, 13 kilometres inland from Byron, ranks among the district's top five hinterland sales when sold through Real Estate of Distinction Byron Bay selling agent Ku Darroch.

The property has frontage to the Wilson River, along with large deep swimming holes and a waterfall.

The transformed Queenslander-style homestead has four bedrooms, four bathrooms and two study.

It has towering 14 foot ceilings with original pressed-tin finishes, textured leadlight window panels and an open fireplace.

Wrap around verandahs overlook the grounds and a 15 metre swimming pool.&nbsp;

Many wedding have been held there including the Brisbane-born actress and former model Jacinda Barrett who was the first celebrity to eye the 23 hectare property private enough for a celebrity wedding.

She married the American actor, Suits star Gabriel 'Harvey' Macht in 2004. The pair were in attendance at the Royal Wedding earlier this year given their connection to Meghan Markle.

Barrett and Macht have reportedly offered up their Sunshine Coast property to the Royal couple when they shortly visit Australia.

As well as a popular wedding destination for the stars, Coorabella was the setting for the 1992 movie FernGully:The Last Rainforest.

Sydney Swans long-time coach John Longmire and wife Shelley are on the move having listed their coastal eastern suburbs home.
It's the Malabar property they purchased shortly after he was given the top job at the club.
The couple paid $1.7 million in 2011.
They've embraced the beachside lifestyle, reflected in their full-scale renovation over their seven year ownership.
The facade is typical beach, with a neutral white and blue wash, replacing the old and tired terracotta, green and cream coloured exterior.
The two level home 200 metres from the beach has four bedrooms and two bathrooms.
The upstairs master retreat with lounge and study space opens to a balcony with ocean, bay and headland views.
Renovations came in 2013, with the most recent addition coming late last year when they added a rear solar heated swimming pool and poolside cabana.
They also scored approval for a new three level, five bedroom home, which comes with the sale.
The estimated costs to build the home submitted to the council is just over $1.1 million.
South Eastern Realty Malabar agents Greg and Angela Gladstone have it scheduled for forthcoming auction.
The listing has been nearly two years in the making.
In 2016 there was an off market offering, however no official listing materialized.
Longmire will be no doubt eyeing the street record, which currently belongs to his star-studded midfielder Luke Parker, who paid $2.6 million for a five bed home with a swimming pool last year.
Longmire took over from former Swans boss Paul Roos after the 2010 season having been a coach at the Swans since 2000, a year after his 11 year career at North Melbourne came to a close.
In his last game as a player he won his only 1999 AFL premiership.
Success came quicker in his coaching career, winning the 2012 premiership in his second year in charge.

Professional surfer Wade Goodall and wife Jane are selling their Byron Bay hinterland home.
But they're not venturing far from <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-nsw-bangalow-128745214" target="_blank">their current Bangalow base</a>.  
The couple, who have two daughters Violet and Jane, have recently secured a larger block just nearby where they are going to a build a new house.
McGrath Ballina agents Braden and Andrea Walters have a guide of between $1,075,000 to $1.15 million for its August 4 auction.
Wade, who was born in Bangalow, began surfing after watching VHS videos of his father.
He was signed to Billabong when he was 11, spending over 15 years with the popular surf label before he broke both his legs in quick succession.
He has been an ambassador with fashion label Vans.
The couple previously had a 1980s beach house at Moffat Beach.
When moving down from the Sunshine Coast to Bangalow, Goodall said "I’m surrounded by the most beautiful green hills and there’s waves every day".
Back in 2014 they spent $300,000 on a 690 square metre Palm-Lily Crescent land parcel, set some 13 kilometres inland from the Byron Bay coast.
Their home was built in the classic Queenslander style, set behind a white picket fence.
The modern family home with timber floors and white decor features a rear and front verandah.
It has three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a stone bench kitchen and a study nook.
Bangalow house prices have ranged from $700,000 up to $1,695,000 this year. 
A tightly-held original Bangalow farmhouse, built around 1910 for the Fowler family, sold last weekend at $1.23 million through Elders agent Duncan Lorimer.
The cottage on a 9133 square metre Fowlers Lane holding came with a $950,000 to $1,045,000 price guide.
Steven Dover set the $4,575,000 record price in 2011.

Sydney Swan star Luke Parker has secured an offer for his Maroubra investment townhouse.
It went under offer before its scheduled auction last weekend.
It was the first property Parker bought when he was a rookie at the Swans in 2013, the year he stepped up from the subs bench to a regular starter.
He paid $915,000 for the townhouse and has just finished a renovation before he listed through Belle Property Randwick agents Brooke Marshall and Lucas McKay.
The property has been an investment for Parker, who has developed a strong eastern suburbs portfolio.
He has another property in Maroubra and last year spent $2.6 million on a luxury home in Malabar which became an $1,800 a week rental.
Parker was picked up in the 2010 draft by Sydney after playing in Victoria for the Dandenong Stingrays.
He won the 2012 Premiership with the Swans and played in the two losing grand finals in 2014 and 2016, the same year he finished the runner up for the Bronlow Medal and was named in the All-Australian team for the first time.

Award winning director Peter Andrikidis, most noted for directed the first season of Channel Nine crime-drama hit Underbelly, has listed Wellpark, the long-time Burwood home he shares with his wife Sue.
The couple have been based at the home since 1993 when they sold their Balmain home for $400,000.
They paid $470,000 for Wellpark, a solid full brick Edwardian near Burwood Park.
The two level home with front and rear verandahs has six bedrooms, stately dining and sitting rooms.
A swimming pool sits in the private rear courtyard on the 520 square metre Gordon Street parcel. 
LJ Hooker Burwood agent Joe Murania said the home is built to a standard of excellence rarely seen today.
Andrikis is Australia's most awarded drama director with nine AFI Awards including Best Direction for Underbelly season 1 and East West 101.
Peter and Sue own a Suffolk Park investment near Byron Bay which they bought two years ago.
Upon their $1,416,000 they sought a $1,200 a week tenant. The three bedroom home was most recently up for rent this time last year for $975 a week.
One of his first commissions was to work on The Flying Doctors, before he moved to the ABC where he worked as a director and producer on the medical drama series G.P, which earned his his first AFI Award.
This was followed by the groundbreaking police drama series Wildside.
In 2001 he was awarded the Australian Centenary Medal in the Queen's New Years Honours List for his services to Australian society and film production.
He has worked with the likes of Sam Neill, Cate Blanchett, Guy Pearce and Simon Baker.
His most recent work has seen him direct ABC drama Janet King and medical drama Pulse.

After a turbulent month, former Masterchef contestant Dani Venn and her husband Chris Burgess have now settled on and into their new Mornington Peninsula home.
The couple were all ready to settle on their $1,375,000 Mount Eliza acquisition before becoming the unwitting victim in a hacking scandal that engulfed Property Exchange Australia (PEXA), Australia's new online property transfer system.
The hacker of her conveyancer and estate agent email addresses then diverted the proceeds of the couple's home sale in Smiths Gully, some $250,000, into their account. 
Venn said they were told a few minutes before their new property was due to be settled on that around $107,000 was missing and was unrecoverable.
After a much publicised battle and a failed GoFundMe Page, Venn and Burgess got their money back and have settled on the property.
"It was always our dream to live near the sea," Venn said.
Their three bedroom contemporary home has views across the tree tops to the waters of Port Phillip Bay.
Set on 1,046 square metre, the two storey home has a split level downstairs living zones, lower and upper level terraces and a multi-level alfresco decking, which leads to a sunken solar heated swimming pool amid private gardens.
Lupton Ferguson Real Estate agent Louise Lupton sold the property in 65 days after having a guide of $1.3 million to $1.4 million.
It last traded for $1,035,000 in 2015.
