<p>Perth’s new apartment market recorded its strongest quarter of sales since Q4 2021, with 412 apartments sold in Q1 2026 and a record quarterly sold value of $537 million, according to Urbis’ latest Apartment Essentials results.</p>

<p>Urbis said the March quarter result reflects strong, highly product‑specific demand across both ends of the market, from more attainable projects delivering at scale, through to premium stock being absorbed by equity‑rich downsizers.&nbsp;</p>

<p>David Cresp, Partner at Urbis, said the key story in Perth is not demand, it is the market’s ability to convert demand into delivered housing.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“This is the strongest sales quarter since Q4 2021, and it reinforces that demand in Perth is real and it’s local,” David Cresp said. “But the task now is delivery, turning that demand into projects that can actually be built and completed.”&nbsp;</p>

<p>[smartcode_project:default project_id=110291 project_image_fid=302785]</p>

<h2>Affordable product leads, premium demand remains resilient</h2>

<p>Sales in Q1 were led by more affordable projects, with The Boulevard (SKS Group) recording 115 sales in the quarter, the presentation noting this is only the second time a single project has surpassed 100 quarterly sales. The project was able to offer more affordable housing product right next to a train station.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Palmyra West (Finbar) also delivered strong results with 28 sales in Q1, following 84 sales in Q4, with an average price of under $800,000, underscoring depth of demand for well‑located, attainable new stock.&nbsp;</p>

<p>At the premium end, Urbis said downsizer demand is continuing, with the results highlighting Romeo (Applecross, Finbar) recording 75 sales and reaching almost 50% sold in one quarter.</p>

<p>Jual (Shenton Park, Celsius Property) also posted a strong quarter with 28 sales, reaching 39% sold in one quarter.</p>

<p>Urbis noted that Perth apartment demand is not speculative, not investor‑led, and not uniform, describing it as localised, often equity‑driven and highly product‑specific, a pattern reflected in the polarisation between strong “attainable” performers and premium downsizer product.&nbsp;</p>

<p>[smartcode_project:default project_id=148957 project_image_fid=364102]</p>

<h2>Prices underpinned by costs, and the delivery risk is growing</h2>

<p>Urbis said pricing pressure is cost not demand‑driven: construction costs and delivery risk are now a central constraint, with the results noting build costs remain elevated and volatile, and that energy, fuel and labour uncertainty weigh on feasibility.</p>

<p>David Cresp said a growing challenge for private Build‑to‑Sell developers is simply securing a builder in the current environment.</p>

<p>“Developers are really feeling the pressure from a building market that was operating at capacity and securing a builder is challenging,” David Cresp said, adding that even where a builder can be secured, “trying to get to the price that makes the development financially viable is incredibly challenging in the current market.”&nbsp;</p>

<p>Urbis’ broader WA commentary also notes that industry remains at or above capacity with lot and housing creation, and that many builders are limiting new sales to manage stretched workforces and fixed‑price contract pressures, conditions that flow directly into apartment feasibility and delivery timing.</p>

<p>[smartcode_project:default project_id=108869 project_image_fid=317905]</p>

<h2>Supply: improving later, but still constrained, and Perth lags eastern benchmarks</h2>

<p>While near‑term supply remains constrained, Urbis’ forecast shows completions lifting “Supply is forecast to be back above 1,500 apartments per annum for the first time since 2019”, with 1,775 completions forecast for 2026, and volumes remaining above that level over the following years.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Looking further ahead, completions are forecast to reach 2,500 in 2028, with the report noting 32% of that total is social/affordable, reflecting the role of government‑supported delivery in rebuilding the pipeline.&nbsp;</p>

<p>However, Urbis said Perth remains behind comparable markets on pipeline scale. In a national comparison of projects under construction, the report shows under construction Perth Build‑to‑Sell (BTS) at 3,446 apartments versus the Gold Coast at 7,922. Mr Cresp said “The challenge for Perth is how to we grow the delivery pipeline”.</p>

<p>Urbis’ conclusion is that Perth’s market is increasingly defined by product discipline and delivery certainty, with the research identifying “delivery certainty is key” and calling out builder risk and procurement models as core success factors, alongside “timing and staging”.&nbsp;</p>

Perth apartment sales hit strongest pace since late 2021 as builder capacity tightens

<p><a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/sammut-developments">Sammut Group</a> has secured development approval for its latest Brisbane apartment project, marking the Sydney developer’s next step in expanding its Queensland pipeline following the success of its debut Gold Coast development, Coast.</p>

<p>The approved project at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/44-glen-road-toowong-qld-4066">44 Glen Road, </a><a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/toowong-qld-4066">Toowong</a> will deliver a 15-storey riverfront apartment building with 42 residences, significantly increasing the scale of the site’s previous approval for a smaller luxury scheme. Designed by Bureau^proberts, the development will comprise a mix of predominantly four-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments positioned to maximise Brisbane River and city views.</p>

<p>Sammut Director Julian Sammut said the group had been actively searching Brisbane for several years before identifying Toowong as the right fit.</p>

<p>“Brisbane was the right step for Sammut,” Sammut said.</p>

<p>“With the success of Coast we thought we should definitely look to do more in Queensland alone. We then pushed up to look at Brisbane. We've been looking for I'd say two to three years actually and it was hard to find the right location.”</p>

<p><img alt="Sammut makes Brisbane apartment play" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/f_auto,c_limit,w_1440,q_75/https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/field/image/Screenshot%202025-12-23%20at%203.27.14%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=dYAVIL7qdcGA8ojvkslSrLjczXFejSSx" /></p>

<p>Sammut said suburbs including New Farm and Teneriffe were considered before the group ultimately focused on Toowong due to its strong downsizer demographic and limited supply of developable riverfront land.</p>

<p>The site was acquired off-market after what Sammut described as a lengthy negotiation and planning process, with the developer pursuing an uplift to the original approval.</p>

<p>“We are DA approved now which is very exciting,” Sammut said.</p>

<p>“We've had our change approval come through and we've obviously doubled the height, 15 storeys plus rooftop. We've got 42 amazing apartments that are going to be coming to market soon.”</p>

<p><img alt="Sammut makes Brisbane apartment play" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,dpr_2.0,q_auto:good/https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-12-23%20at%203.27.26%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=ohkRkY0dIZlqdfME2EZePsCQavRiBadE" /></p>

<p>Bureau^proberts said the design responds to Toowong’s evolving urban character, balancing contemporary apartment living with the area’s established residential identity.</p>

<p>“A place where traditional Queensland living has taken place for centuries; Toowong is seeing a shift of contemporary influence, commercial and retail hubs mixed with well-considered residential offerings – all the while maintaining its character and charm,” the architect noted in planning documents submitted to Brisbane City Council.</p>

<p>The architecture practice said the project’s form was shaped by its riverfront setting, flood considerations, neighbouring building scales, and view corridors.</p>

<p>“They said the mix of four and two-bedroom apartments capture the ‘fundamental qualities of Queenslander living,’ translated into the context of a contemporary subtropical building.”</p>

<p>The development sits just off Coronation Drive within walking distance of Toowong’s retail precinct and the upgraded Regatta ferry terminal, while also benefiting from proximity to the incoming green bridge connection to West End. Sammut said the accessibility and amenity offering were central to the site’s appeal.</p>

<p>The approval adds to growing residential activity along the Toowong riverfront, joining nearby projects including Consolidated Properties’ Monarch Residences and Spyre Group’s ARC Residences.</p>


Sammut secures approval for debut Brisbane apartment development in Toowong

<p>Developer Lanevick is heading back into Sydney’s apartment market after focusing more heavily on the luxury townhouse and terrace sector in recent years.</p>

<p>Lanevick, founded and directed by Steve Maroun, is expecting to receive approval in the coming months for a new apartment development in Gladesville, with the aim to launch it to the market later this year.</p>

<p>The 51-apartment project, designed by Studio Johnston, will comprise a mix of one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments positioned toward the Hunters Hill downsizer market.</p>

<p>“Traditionally it’s been difficult for people in that market to downsize because there just hasn’t been the right product available,” Maroun said.</p>

<p>“We’re targeting buyers who might have 30 to 40 per cent of their house value sitting in the bank after downsizing.</p>

<p>“They still want good spacious entertaining areas, they still want quality design, but they also want flexibility and the ability to enjoy life a bit more after working hard for a long time.”</p>

<p>The project sits near Boronia Park and within close proximity to the Parramatta River foreshore, an area Maroun says offers more of a Hunters Hill lifestyle than a traditional apartment precinct.</p>

<p>“From a lifestyle perspective, it’s really more Hunters Hill than Gladesville,” Maroun said. “You’re close to the foreshore, close to parklands, and still connected back into the village precinct.”</p>

<p>From level four and above, apartments will capture water views&nbsp;toward Sydney Harbour. Communal amenity will include rooftop entertaining areas, wellness spaces, and a gym tailored toward owner-occupier buyers.</p>

<p>“We’ve really designed these apartments around that buyer coming from the Hunters Hill LGA and what they’re actually looking for in their next chapter.”</p>

<p>The proposed development has also been designed to respond to the changing character of the broader Gladesville town centre, where a growing number of mixed-use and residential proposals are expected to emerge over the coming years.</p>

<p>“Gladesville presented a rare opportunity to deliver a genuinely design-led residential project within an evolving lifestyle precinct, just moments from the growing Gladesville town centre, and we’ve approached the project with a strong focus on architecture, liveability and long-term community value,” Maroun said.</p>

<p>Maroun said Lanevick saw a first-mover advantage within the precinct as planning controls continue to evolve to accommodate greater housing density.</p>

<p>“We think there’s a real opportunity there that hasn’t really been serviced properly yet,” he said.</p>

<p>“There’s going to be a broader evolution of the whole Gladesville village precinct over time, particularly with more activation and mixed-use outcomes.”</p>

<p>The Venus Street proposal will include a commercial and retail component at ground level designed to contribute to that evolving streetscape activation.</p>

<p>“A big part of the thinking was how do you activate that area properly and create more vibrancy and amenity, which is what Hunters Hill has been looking for,” Maroun said.</p>

<p>Lanevick’s focus since 2020 has largely been on smaller-scale luxury townhouse and terrace developments. The developer recently completed Royale Randwick, also designed by Studio Johnston, where prices reached $3.65 million. The project was featured in the UDIA NSW 2026 Professional Development Prospectus and was also named a finalist for Development of the Year.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>


Lanevick to cater for Hunters Hill downsizers with new Gladesville apartment development

<p>Property developer One Living, backed by former Macquarie banker turned investment manager Chris Green’s investment firm, has unveiled plans to bring more institutional capital into housing to help address the national supply crisis.</p>

<p>The New York-based investor has focused his firm, GreenPoint Partners, on addressing the supply shortage hitting middle market housing in Australia.</p>

<p>It is backing the new One Living business to develop more than 1000 units along the eastern seaboard. The new firm is starting with a development on Mona Vale Road, on the border of Mona Vale and Pymble, in Sydney’s Northern Beaches, with around 140 apartments planned. They are eyeing off more sites across the city.</p>

<p>With cost pressures rising in the industry, One Living’s model is to be a vertically integrated developer-builder, so it can respond directly to the housing gap by removing the cost inefficiencies embedded in traditional residential delivery.</p>

<p>“We are building a platform designed to operate at scale and starting in a market where there’s a clear need for quality, attainable housing,” One Living joint managing director Joseph Scuderi said.</p>

<p>“It’s that missing middle – it’s that attainable end of housing… that’s what most Australians invest into and what Australians can actually afford.”</p>

<p><img alt="Mona Vale" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="798dfa93-4941-4db6-a696-31e9dc18e81c" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-05-28%20at%202.31.50%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=mKBqi5C_DmeiXS.AtJkcR8LQIxqCqmFi" /></p>

<p>GreenPoint Partners brings years of experience assembling and scaling real estate operating businesses across major markets. And Green sees a big opportunity in Australia.</p>

<p>“For its size, sophistication and importance to the community, Australia’s living sector has remained largely under-institutionalised, which represents significant opportunity,” Green said. “GreenPoint identified that gap, assembled the right team, and is backing One Living to build a platform that is aligned to market needs.”</p>

<p>Green said being a builder-developer would give the company the capacity and flexibility it required to deliver reasonably-priced homes.</p>

<p>“We want it to be at that attainable level; not super high end luxury but at that attainable level,” he said.</p>

<p><img alt="Mona Vale" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="74a5344a-4b26-4d4a-ada3-056b1220be77" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-05-28%20at%202.32.15%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=vY8hXHO4reBMdO8ZXMWCNtGZJofUPQ3j" /></p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>One Living will undertake a component of affordable housing in its schemes, which it will own and operate, and it could also run build-to-rent on some sites.</p>

<p>Green praised local policy settings.</p>

<p>“The NSW government is being very supportive, strategic and pragmatic in terms of how do we generate more supply of housing,” he said. “We think it’s actually positive for development and the bit that’s been lacking at that attainable level is that it’s lots of relatively small private developers, whereas we want to create an institutional platform.”</p>

<p>One Living is also&nbsp;looking at high-density projects and could take on more institutional funding in the future.</p>

<p>“The way we will be able to achieve economies of scale is through size,” Green added.</p>


One Living enters Sydney's new apartment market with Northern Beaches site acquisition

<p>It's been several years since there's been an opportunity to buy a brand new townhome in Melbourne's coastal suburb of Mordialloc. Even apartment developments in recent times have been few and far between in the area.</p>

<p>Local developer LDS Property identified the gap in new housing, securing a site on White Street, directly opposite&nbsp;Woodlands Golf Club Mordialloc. They've recently launched&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-townhouses/wm-residences-mordialloc-102-white-street-mordialloc-vic-3195">WM Residences</a>, just 13 townhouses which they have already started building.</p>

<p>Projects by Buxton Director Heath Thompson, who is selling WM Residences, says the townhouses x that perfect middle ground be</p>

<p data-end="683" data-start="511">"Mordialloc residents have had limited options to downsize within the suburb, often forcing them to look elsewhere despite long-standing ties to the area," Thompson says.</p>

<p data-end="882" data-start="690">"With very little comparable new supply coming to market, projects like WM Residences are well placed, particularly as buyers look to capitalise on current conditions amid constrained supply."</p>

<p data-end="882" data-start="690">[smartcode_project:default project_id=134646 project_image_fid=6109]</p>

<p>The development, designed by regarded architecture firm&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/ewert-leaf">Ewert Leaf</a>,&nbsp;adopts a deliberately restrained architectural approach, focusing on simplicity, durability and liveability rather than overt design gestures.</p>

<p>The boutique scale is central to the offering. With only 13 three-bedroom residences, each home is configured to prioritise functional layouts and everyday use, supported by private terraces and secure two-car garages.</p>

<p>Ewert Leaf’s design response leans into a calm, neutral material palette. Interiors are defined by oak flooring, white walls and soft finishes, creating a consistent and understated backdrop. The approach avoids trend-driven detailing in favour of longevity, with an emphasis on natural light and spatial clarity.</p>

<p>[smartcode_project:default project_id=134646 project_image_fid=6110]</p>

<p>Beyond aesthetics, the homes are designed to meet contemporary performance expectations. Each residence targets a minimum 6-star energy rating, incorporating double glazing, comprehensive insulation and all-electric Bosch appliances.</p>

<p>The project’s location supports a walkable coastal lifestyle, sitting within close proximity to Mordialloc’s foreshore, Main Street retail strip and the train station. Local cafés and dining venues, including Suburbia Deli and Hendriks Café, are within a short walk, reinforcing the area’s established neighbourhood character.</p>

<p>[smartcode_project:default project_id=134646 project_image_fid=6116]</p>

<p data-end="247" data-is-last-node="" data-is-only-node="" data-start="0">While <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/mordialloc-vic-3195">Mordialloc</a> is often defined by its beach and pier, the project taps into other areas of day to day living, offering easy access to local food, casual dining and transport, rather than positioning itself purely as a lifestyle retreat.</p>

<p>WM Residences reflects a continued trend across Melbourne’s coastal suburbs towards smaller-scale, design-led townhouse developments, particularly on infill sites where proximity to amenity is already established.</p>

<p>With construction commenced prior to its market entry, the project aligns with a growing preference among buyers for developments with visible progress and defined delivery timeframes.</p>

<p>The former Socceroo Brett Holman and wife Femke have downsized on the Sunshine Coast.</p>

<p>Having sold their Peregian Beach holiday home for $2.55 million mid-way through last year, they’ve gone off-market to secure a near new property in the same coastal suburb.</p>

<p>They’ve spent $1.15 million on a home on the Peregian Golf Course.</p>

<p>Only completed last year, the home has five bedrooms, including a master with its own sitting area, walk in wardrobe and ensuite which spans the entire length of the top level.</p>

<p>There’s a dedicated media room, a kitchen with butler’s pantry and an alfresco area overlooking the pool.</p>

<p><img alt="" height="794" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/peregian_holman_2.jpg" width="1200"></p>

<p>Richardson &amp; Wrench Noosa agent Kerry Sullivan secured the sale off-market.</p>

<p>The Holman’s had previously nearer the beach, but flipped the modern 2018-built home half way through last year.</p>

<p>Having paid $1.95 million, they sold the Tim Ditchfield-designed four bedder for $2.55 million.</p>

<p>Holman, who runs a small football academy in the Sunshine Coast, and Femke are based in a five bedroom home in New Farm, which they bought for $2.43 million in 2016 when returning to Australia after spending 14 years playing soccer across Europe and Asia.</p>

<p>Born in Bankstown, Holman started his soccer career at Parramatta Power in the NSL before joining Dutch club Feyenoord in 2002.</p>

<p>Holman left Holland in 2012 to join Aston Villa in the English Premier League for a season then went on to play in Dubai and Abu Dhabi.</p>

<p>Holman has represented the Socceroos 63 times, scoring nine goals.</p>

<p>Former Socceroo turned property developer Jason Culina and his interior designer wife Terri, pulled their Lindfield offering from its scheduled weekend auction.</p>
<p>The property has since gone under offer.</p>
<p>It was one of just 33 withdrawals across Sydney, according to CoreLogic, compared to 101 on the same Saturday last year.</p>
<p>It was a rebuild project Culina had not got around to doing.</p>
<p>There are plans for a modern five-bedroom home with a pool, cabanas — and even a soccer field.</p>
<p>A five-bedroom 1920s home sits on the 1355 square metre parcel that was bought for $2.35 million last year.</p>
<p>Stone Real Estate had a guide of $2.5 million to $2.7 million for the twice-delayed auction.</p>
<p>Culina, who played 58 games for the Socceroos, has previously completed residential projects in Putney and Denham Court.</p>
<p>After retiring in 2013, he and Terri founded property staging and styling website 80 Spaces.</p>
<p>Following that they set up Culina Design Group.</p>

<p>Former Socceroo turned property developer Jason Culina and his interior designer wife Terri are selling a Lindfield project they haven’t quite got around to doing.</p>
<p>They’re listing the property, which they bought for $2.35 million last year, along with plans for a modern five-bedroom home with a pool, cabanas — and even a soccer field.</p>
<p>A five-bedroom 1920s home currently sits on the 1355 square metre parcel of land.</p>
<p>Stone Real Estate Lindfield agent Steven Kourdis has a guide of $2.5 million for the October 25 auction.</p>
<p>Culina, who played 58 games for the Socceroos including the 2006 and 2010 World Cups, has previously carried out a couple of projects in Putney.</p>
<p>Jason and Terri renovated their 200-year-old colonial mansion Denham Court in 2012, having paid $1.2 million, and selling two years later for $1,725,000.</p>
<p>The proceeds took them to Putney, where they spent $1.77 million on a Victorian-style, five-bedroom home. They renovated it and sold it for $3.48 million in 2017.</p>
<p>Culina began his football career at Sydney United under his father Branko Culina, then spent nine years in Europe before returning to Australia.</p>
<p>After retiring in 2013, he and Terri founded property staging and styling website 80 Spaces, then the Culina Design Group. </p>

<p>When he returns from the World Cup in Russia, veteran Socceroo Tim Cahill may be landing at a different airport.</p>
<p>The Sydney-born midfielder looks to be jacking in his life in Melbourne with a move back to New York on the horizon.</p>
<p>He'll no doubt be wanting to spend more time on his hobby farm in Byron Bay that he acquired late last year.</p>
<p>He was forced to leave Melbourne City in search of game time before the World Cup, which he found back in England where he made his name as one of Australia's greatest ever footballers.</p>
<p>He's listed the <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-vic-lower+plenty-128639154" target="_blank">Lower Plenty home</a> he bought in late 2016 having signed for Melbourne City when returning from China. </p>

<p>It's been renovated under his interior designer wife Rebekah.</p>
<p>Cahill is looking to take advantage of Melbourne's strong property market in the last 18 months.</p>
<p>Having paid $2,775,000 18 months ago, he's now seeking offers between $3.5 million and $3.85 million through Morrison Kleeman agents Rocco Montanaro and Malcolm Perkins who sold him the home.</p>
<p>There's a nod to Cahill's ownership in the marketing.</p>
<p>The renovated living room with flat screen TV has the Russia 2018 World Cup on the screen (below).</p>
<p><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/2018/6/20/cahill3.jpg" alt=""> </p>
<p>The home has six bedrooms, five bathrooms, a state of the art theatre room and a swimming pool on its 4,180 sqm parcel</p>
<p>Cahill is in Russia hoping to become just the fifth player to score at four different World Cups.</p>
<p>He is Australia's highest ever goal scorer and helped the Socceroo's through qualifying with crucial goals against Syria.</p>

<p>Former Socceroo Tommy Oar, who wasn't selected in Bert van Marwijk's final 23 for the World Cup, has traded up in the Gold Coast.</p>
<p>Despite spending most of his time in Cyprus where he plays his club football, the midfielder has spent $1,225,000 on a Mermaid Beach home (above and below.)</p>
<p>The late 1960s home was marketed as having to potential to be a renovation or redevelopment project.</p>
<p>It has three bedrooms and one bathroom on its 405 sqm Sunbrite Avenue parcel (pictured below), just 200 metres from the beach.</p>

<p>It's further back from the beach from his former home (pictured below), which he has listed for rent upon his purchase. </p>
<p>Oar is seeking a tenant at $750 a week for the three bedder that cost $1.31 million in 2014.</p>
<p>Last year Oar sold his Surfers Paradise investment apartment to Netherlands born Liberal Party politician John-Paul Honoré Langbroek and his wife Stacey.</p>
<p>Oar played for the Socceroos at the 2014 World Cup when he was playing in Europe. He spent the 2016/17 season at Brisbane Roar.</p>

Former Socceroo Tommy Oar has bought again in Mermaid Beach on the Gold Coast

<html><body>
<div>Socceroo legend Tim Cahill’s family has scored a Byron Bay hinterland hobby farm.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>They’ve paid $1.7 million for Highgate, a <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/sold/property-house-nsw-eureka-124902546" target="_blank">13-hectare holding at Eureka</a>, inland from Byron Bay.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The northern NSW farm is formally in the name of his parents, Tim Cahill Sr and Sisofa, with the transfer documents revealing the purchasing finance was provided by Cahill Jr.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>It is expected to remain as a hobby farm as Cahill has privately expressed an interest in an agricultural pursuit. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Unique Estates selling agent Gary Brazenor suggested the property was suitable for stock and horses and could easily be converted for mixed-use farming.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>It is currently home to 15 head of cattle.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>A 2007 built Colonial-style homestead high on a hill, it features decking which looks out to the hinterland across its own 8000sq m of country gardens.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The traditional homestead was built after its last sale in 2003 to the Gasteen family at $650,000.</div>
<div> </div>
<div><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/2017/11/27/HIGHATE2.jpg" alt=""></div>
<div> </div>
<div>Set five minutes from Federal and 10 minutes from Bangalow, there are five fully fenced paddocks and a large spring-fed dam with bore.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The striker, who played a crucial part in the Socceroos’ journey to World Cup qualification, had been spotted flying into northern NSW with purchasing intent before the recent cup games.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Cahill scored twice in Australia’s 2-1 win over Syria last month, celebrating his second goal, by forming a T symbol with his arms. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>The celebration was interpreted by some as a plug for his sponsor, the Byron Bay-based online travel store TripADeal. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>“I’m loving living in Melbourne,” he recently said.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>“The food, the culture, the fashion. They call it the sporting capital of the world and it is. It’s fantastic. ”</div>
<div> </div>
<div>He suggested the only bad thing about Melbourne was the weather, however he cited the fact that he lived in England for 15 years “so it’s not so bad”.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Upon his return from playing overseas, Cahill bought a luxury home in Melbourne for $2,775,000.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Cahill had previously owned a Caringbah South waterfront which sold for $5.7 million in 2015.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Cahill still owns a Horningsea Park property in Sydney’s west bought with the family in 1999 for $260,000.</div>
