<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.

Nova Rêve arrives as Reve Group bets on Castle Hill's next growth phase

Byron Bay

Friday Hut Estate, the Byron Bay hinterland estate belonging to the family of Cricket Australia board member Michelle Tredenick, has been sold after the price guide was adjusted to $2.95 million.
Bangalow Real Estate agent Gary Brazenor marketed the eight-bedroom Possum Creek retreat which comes with an 18 metre pool.
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2019/5/31/poss%202.jpg" alt="">
The family paid $2.93 million for the 1.6 hectare property in 2014 after it had been listed with $3.8 million hopes.
The 2005-built home was constructed by local builder Tim Sharpe amid its ­100-year-old fig trees.
Tredenick resides in Sydney, overlooking Hyde Park.

Friday Hut Estate in the Byron Bay hinterland sells

A record $18.85 million has been paid for a house overlooking Wategos Beach at Byron Bay.
It’s the existing longtime record holder on the Marine Parade dress circle at the popular surfing location.
Property developer Danny Goldberg secured the sale in an offmarket deal with Sydney buyer Eli Havas, from the Sydney rag trading family, who bought without any registered mortgage.
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2019/4/5/Gold2.jpg" alt="">
It has been reported the purchase is associated with F45 gym entrepreneur Adam Gilchrist.
The former Ticor Developments director, Goldberg, who is now chairman of private equity firm, Dakota Capital, bought the home for a record $15.68 million some 13 years ago, reflecting slow annual 1.5 percent price growth.
The latest sale was almost double the highest sale during the interim — $9.5 million in 2015 about 10 houses along.
The home, set diagonally opposite popular Rae's restaurant, became known as Wategos House, a $31,000-a-week peak-season holiday rental.
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2019/4/5/Gold3.jpg" alt="">
The price didn’t knock Palm Beach off its mantle as priciest beach retreat location in NSW.
<a href="https://byronbaycoastalaccommodation.com.au/accommodation/Byron-Bay/House/604-11-Marine-Parade-Wategos-House/" target="_blank">Wategos House rental marketing </a>suggests the property offers “unbeatable outdoor living spaces”. The six-bedroom beachfront sits on 1500 sqm, and its front terrace overlooks the beach with a custom-made table for 14. 
The $18.85 million confidence-boosting sale comes at a time when there is no shortage of stunning homes on and off the market available for buyers. Like the rest of the housing market downturn, prices in the upper end have been hit by around 12 per cent, according to CoreLogic.

10 one bedroom live/work styled apartments have hit the Byron Bay market.
The Habitat concept apartments come with $800,000-$830,000 price points.
Situated at 28-50 Parkes Avenue, the units are designed to give people the option to live above a flexible space in which they can manage and run a business.
<img src="https://f.datasrvr.com/f1/019/53339/Habitat_2.JPG">
Mr Fraser Williams-Martin of DFJ Architects, said “we’ve designed the apartments to have a contemporary warehouse feel, allowing you to live upstairs and work downstairs.
“The area itself is a hub of small businesses and these properties are ideally suited to young and creative entrepreneurs"
“The design is based on European models and really is revolutionary, especially when it comes to a regional town like Byron.”
Ray White Byron Bay Sales Associate April Nicolson said "the 'Habitat' site is a progressive, all-encompassing destination only five-minutes from the beach, and a 10-minute cycle to town."
 
“Residents have access to all exclusive facilities including pools, park and recreation area, award-winning restaurant Barrio and professional meeting spaces in the main commercial precinct."

The third and final stage of Byron Bay’s residential subdivision Seacliff has only three lots remaining after the first two stages sold out.
Developer Unison Projects’ $20 million Seacliffs development at Suffolk Park in the Byron Bay hinterland features 34 elevated lots in the 16 hectare eco-friendly hinterland estate, including some with ocean views.
Some 3 hectares of the 16 has been developed, with the remaining 13 hectares of rainforest untouched or revegetated.
Unison Projects’ Jonathan Levy said the final three lots were elevated with ocean views.
Levy said the quality of houses constructed has been outstanding. 
Seacliffs Byron Bay is a rainforest fringed enclave with 73% of the estate maintained as a nature reserve and a wildlife corridor for native animals. 
McGrath’s Nick Dunn said Seacliffs has appealed to a wide range of buyers including families, downsizers and locals seeking a more elevated location in Byron while staying close to the town centre and major amenities, eight minutes to the heart of Byron Bay.
The remaining blocks are cleared and priced from $575,000.

(source: Victoria Police)
The pair is currently assisting police with their enquiries.
Warrants were issued for the arrest of the men after the shooting of Sid Morgan, a 53-year-old man at a Spraypoint Drive home about 11pm on 21 February.
He remains in critical condition at the Royal Melbourne Hospital.
This is the <a href="/news/hills-shire-sydney-estate-agent-sid-morgan-shot-at-point-cook">second set of arrests that has taken place</a>, with two men from Melbourne's west being released without charge after being arrested on Saturday.
In 1995, Morgan, who previously went by the name of Said, was a detective in NSW police force in the 1990s.
He became aware of allegations that his brother-in-law, Mansour Suha, had been molesting three young girls, two of them his young relatives. He then shot Suha, shooting the man six times.
In 1996 a jury rejected the Crown argument that it was a revenge shooting, finding Mr Morgan instead acted out of fear for the girls' safety.
A jury took 33 minutes to decide his actions were justified. 
He was however refused reinstatement into the NSW police force.

Piccadilly Hill, a Byron Bay hinterland retreat, has been sold for $4.8 million.

It was offered by a company directed by Jon Adgemis, the high-profile KMPG executive.

The sale was more than $2 million higher for the Coopers Shoot acreage, which cost $2.65 million in 2015.

The near 30 hectare estate with jasmine-lined verandas came with approval for a guest cottage.

The homestead with a wet edge pool has views to Broken and Lennox Heads.

Six paddocks, four with spring dams, are cleared pastures for cattle.

Adgemis, KPMG’s head of mergers and acquisitions, has done well in property.

Last year he sold his 1910 Rose Bay home for $4.25 million, $1.4 million more than the $2.85 million he paid for it in 2015.

He upgraded to a nearby $4.5 million home just before Christmas.

He split with the Sutherland Shire-born model Cheyenne Tozzi in 2017.

Despite the roller coaster share price, Anthony Eisen the boss of the controversial by now pay later lender, Afterpay has bought on Wategos Beach at Byron Bay.
It's the holiday home previously rented by the likes of Kate Moss and Elle Macpherson, who paid $14,000 a week.
It was sold by Boorowa farmer Charlie Arnott, of the Arnott’s Biscuits family to the boss of the ASX-listed payday lender.
This week, Kim Kardashian promoted the digital lender which has been attracting the supervisory interest of the Australian Senate and banking regulators given debt vulture accusations. 
Arnott bought the Marine Parade property in 2009 for $5.5 million from Sausage Software founder Steve Outtrim.   
Overlooking Wategos Beach, is the epitome of a classic beach house.
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2018/12/10/Byron2.jpg" alt="">
Set on the exclusive Marine Parade, The White House has been designed to frame the expansive ocean views from its elevated north facing location.
Four of the five bedrooms have ocean views, while the hub of the home is the second level open plan living and dining area which opens out to a large ocean facing entertaining deck.
The top floor of the striking tri-level home is occupied by the master retreat which has its own ensuite and private balcony, also facing the beach.
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2018/12/10/Byron3.jpg" alt="">
The White House sits a few houses down from the Byron Bay record breaker, which has stood since 2006.
Sydney developer Danny Goldberg paid $16 million for Wategos House, a six bedroom beachfront set on 1,500 square metres opposite the popular Rae's on Wategos restaurant.
Boorowa farmer Charlie Arnott, of the Arnott’s Biscuits family, secured around $7.6 million.
Known as The White House, it was listed in September 2017 with initial hopes of $8.9 million, and sold after 90 days on the market by Ruth Gotterson, of McGrath, but the deal then fell through.
Eisen was found late last month as the replacement buyer.

The former director of a collapsed Byron Bay-based luxury real estate agency, Nicolette van Wijngaarden has been ordered to surrender her two passports under strict bail conditions.
<div>
The real estate agent specialising in luxury properties has been charged with 15 fraud offences after she allegedly misused $3.69 million.
Nicolette van Wijngaarden, 44, was the director of Unique Estates, a boutique real estate agency now under liquidation which specialised in selling multi-million dollar properties in NSW, Victoria and Queensland.
She is accused of fraudulently dealing with home deposits paid to her company.
Ms van Wijngarden is also accused of "falsely representing" that $1,165,876 from rental properties would remain in the Unique Estates trust account until the money was paid to the property owners.
The charges span from May 2016 to February 2018.
</div>
<div class="_1ysFk">
<div class="_1665V undefined">
According to court documents, the NSW Director of Public Prosecutions took over the case in September.
Ms van Wijngaarden was excused from attending Sydney's Downing Centre Local Court when the case was mentioned yesterday.

Richard Uechtritz, the former managing director at electronic retailer JB Hi-Fi, seems set to create a Byron Bay compound.
Spending $4.17 million, he's bought Australia's most easterly home on Brownell Drive overlooking Wategos Beach.
The property adjoins his current Byron retreat which cost $6.5 million in 2007. Now he has 1,435 sqm.
LJ Hooker Byron Bay agent Liam Annesley secured the sale. 
Uechtritz was the boss at JB Hifi from 2000 to 2010 before stepping down and joining Seven Group Holdings.

Love &amp; Hatred jewellery designer Giovanni D'Ercole returned recently to Wategos paying $4.3 million for a hillside Christine Vadasz-redesigned 1960s timber-clad cottage.
D'Ercole has been up in the Byron Bay hinterland in recent times.
Wategos last beachfront reserve sale when when Melbourne-based former Swisse Vitamins owner Stephen Ring bought from the art collector and onetime Skilled Engineering group boss Greg Hargrave.
The oceanfront reserve property had been on and off the market for seven years before its recent sale through Byron Bay Property agent Vicky Innes.
Whalewatchers with its dress circle position overlooking Wategos Beach has been listed by the Sydney-based Salmat co-founder Peter Mattick and his wife Pam who have enjoyed the ocean views for 14 years.

Set on eastern end of beachfront Marine Parade, the home is spread over two levels with a central pool.
The Mattick's bought the 803 sq m holding property in 2004 for $3.9 million before commissioning architect Tim Moon. No expense was spared on its finishes including copper, basalt stone and spotted gum floor that integrate the house. 
Listing agent Liam Annesley, of LJ Hooker Byron Bay, says a property like this "is nearly impossible to find on the east coast of Australia."
He's hopeful it will break the $15.68 million record set in 2006 by the house at the other end of the parade, which was bought by property developer Danny Goldberg who seeks $25,000 a week rental for Wategos House.
