Former AFL player-turned tech millionaire Brad Moran is selling his Gold Coast compound for a staggering $27.5m with a new real estate agent, after trying and failing to sell the lavish home late last year.
Mr Moran’s property is found about 20 minutes inland from Burleigh Beach and hosts sprawling views of the Gold Coast skyline and ocean.
It sits on an 8888-square-metre hillside block and features a luxury showroom for collectible cars, go-kart track, wellness area and lavish entertainment wing.
The property is designed for large group stays with 10 bedrooms, 11 bathrooms and nine car parking spaces.
Mr Moran has employed Gold Coast agent Amir Mian for the sale after previously hiring local luxury agency Kollosche.
Mr Mian lauded the property’s entertainment wing which features a 16-seat cinema, poker room and whiskey bar.
“That cinema – forget Gold Class. You’ve got the popcorn station, you’ve got proper recliner chairs, you’ve got an incredible entertaining and bar area,” Mr Mian told The Australian Financial Review.
The hillside compound was constructed by Gold Coast developer Graeme Ingles between 2004 and 2008 before it was sold to Mr Moran and his wife Alicia in 2021 for $7m.
If the property goes for Mr Moran’s asking price, it will be half a million dollars below the Gold Coast record – held by Clive Palmer for the $28m sale of a Mermaid Beach property in February 2024.
Mr Palmer’s sale was matched by the $28m sale of an acreage in Currumbin Valley mid last year.
Prior to his career as an app-founder, Mr Moran played three games for the North Melbourne Kangaroos in 2006 and 2007 before switching to Adelaide.
He ran on the field for 18 matches between 2008 and 2011 when representing the Crows, and notched up eight goals over the games.
Mr Moran in 2011 launched the app NoQ which allowed users to pre-order food and drinks at venues to avoid waiting in lines.
He exited the business five years later founded advertising technology company CitrusAd which was sold to French advertising giant Publicis for $205m in October 2021.
