There are walnut veneer walls and ceilings, black Japanese tiled bathrooms, cork floors and a black Verde Alpi marble kitchen at Moreton Bay’s 12 Greenup Street, Redcliffe<\/a>.<\/p>\n Designed by architect Nicholas Elias and completed in 2024, ‘Lantern’ also boasts a circular pivot door, sculptural staircase and concrete circular pool, earning it a finalist spot in HIA’s House of the Year awards.<\/p>\n The home is listed with offers over $2.9m. Picture: realestate.com.au<\/p>\n Agent Tristan Rowland<\/a> at Bright Estate Agents said the home, listed for $2.9m, has been popular among Brisbane, interstate and overseas buyers eyeing it as a luxe home, high-end Airbnb or photo-shoot cash cow.<\/p>\n “The current owners are getting $2,500 a day for photo shoots \u2014 better yields than most rentals and no tenants needed,” he said. “It’s like an Airbnb on steroids.”<\/p>\n Record-holding waterfront mansion<\/p>\n Unmissable from the Swan River, this palatial waterfront mansion at 43 Saunders Street, Mosman Park<\/a> stunned WA \u2014 and Australia \u2014 by fetching a record $57.5m in 2009 when it sold to mining billionaire Chris Ellison and wife Tia.<\/p>\n 43 Saunders Street, Mosman Park set a national price record when it last sold for $57.5m in 2009. Picture: realestate.com.au<\/p>\n This iconic home on 7,565sqm remains WA’s priciest home sale to date, and it could shatter records again given Perth’s prestige property market boom.<\/p>\n Hidden down a tree-lined drive, the three-storey showpiece reveals an indoor pool pavilion (with spa and splash pool), tennis court, guest house, gate house and boathouse with a private jetty.<\/p>\n The sprawling waterfront property is expected to shatter WA’s price record again. Picture: realestate.com.au<\/p>\n Entrancing features include a three-storey glass-domed foyer with hand-painted acanthus leaves, a sweeping marble and wrought-iron staircase, graceful living spaces, a private cinema, a gently trickling koi pond, and a vast lawn with pavilions and sauna.<\/p>\n Agent Vivien Yap<\/a> at Ray White Dalkeith Claremont described the home as a “showstopper”.<\/p>\n Barbiecore dreamland in inner Melbourne<\/p>\n “Unapologetically pink” is the heading on the listing for 23 St Georges Road South, Fitzroy North<\/a> \u2014 a Barbiecore fantasy that’s been designed with love and lived in with pride.<\/p>\n Every room has bold colours and vibrant patterns. Picture: realestate.com.au<\/p>\n This two-bedroom, one-bathroom terrace dazzles in pastel pink outside, then unleashes pink ceilings, blissful blue walls, a pastel-tiled kitchen, bold wallpaper, statement light fittings, a terrazzo bathroom and red-pink laundry \u2014 all flowing to a rear courtyard.<\/p>\n But despite attracting lots of interest, the home passed in at auction.<\/p>\n “Feedback says it’s just a very personal renovation \u2014 and it’s tricky at a time when renovation costs are on the higher side,” agent James McCulloch at Nelson Alexander Fitzroy explained.<\/p>\n The property listing notched up almost 20,000 views on realestate.com.au in April. Picture: realestate.com.au<\/p>\n But for the right person, it’s perfection, he added.<\/p>\n “With these personal homes, you’ve got to find someone who is absolutely obsessed.”<\/p>\n Off-grid retreat calls for cash buyer<\/p>\n Rising power bills and slicker tech have made living off grid increasingly popular, with buyers swarming to this self-sufficient home at 364 South Arm Road, Urunga<\/a>, 30 minutes south of Coffs Harbour.<\/p>\n 364 South Arm Road, Urunga is on the market for $825,000. Picture: realestate.com.au<\/p>\n And who could blame them. This private rural retreat on 23 hectares boasts Pacific ocean views, a three-bedroom mud brick and stone home, two two-bedroom cottages, a one-bedroom cabin, storage shed, vegetable gardens, fruit trees, rainwater tanks, solar with battery storage plus gas hot water \u2014 all for just $825,000.<\/p>\n Agent Warren Weick<\/a> at Warren Weick Real Estate Bellingen said he’s been “hammered” with more than 300 enquiries in two weeks.<\/p>\n The off-grid retreat includes a three-bedroom mud brick and stone home, two two-bedroom cottages and a one-bedroom cabin. Picture: realestate.com.au<\/p>\n But there are two catches: a steep 4WD-only driveway and unapproved buildings that prevent bank loans.<\/p>\n “That means you’ve got to be a cash buyer,” Mr Weick said.<\/p>\n Storied Eltham mudbrick home<\/p>\n Another rustic beauty, this four-bedroom home in Melbourne’s outer north east feels like someone realised their own romantic dream.<\/p>\n And that’s pretty much what happened. Back in 1959, artists Kevin and June Engish bought some land and built a mudbrick home by hand, which took them 16 years.<\/p>\n 9 Godalmin Street, Eltham sold for $1.83m in April. Picture: realestate.com.au\/sold<\/p>\n With June passing away last year, her daughter Penny is reluctantly selling the family home at 9 Godalmin Street, Eltham<\/a> for the very first time.<\/p>\n Earthy and eccentric, it blends salvaged bluestone from old Melbourne buildings and old theatre doors. There’s a stained-glass Adam-and-Eve front door, sculptural stone stairs, soaring ceilings, celestial windows, a vast stone fireplace, slate floors and hidden courtyards.<\/p>\n The an owner-builder constructed his ‘castle’ by hand across a period of sixteen years. Picture: realestate.com.au\/sold<\/p>\n Agent James Morrison<\/a> at Morrison Kleeman Estate Agents said the home has grown over time.<\/p>\n “As the family’s life evolved, more creative spaces and more areas were added.”<\/p>\n Around 250 groups viewed the property, sparking multiple offers before it sold for $1.83m.<\/p>\n ‘Earth castle’ with living grass roof<\/p>\n Tani and Tim Richards, designers of Perth’s iconic Sandcastle<\/a>, have been creating another gothic-inspired fantasy over the last five years, and now it’s on the market.<\/p>\n Instead of being perched on a clifftop, ‘The Earth Castle’ at 93 Wilson Road, Bullsbrook<\/a> is carved into the ground \u2014 with a “living” grass roof.<\/p>\n 93 Wilson Road, Bullsbrook was among the most viewed property listings in April. Picture: realestate.com.au<\/p>\n Set on a 25-hectare estate around an hour northeast of Perth, this sprawling private sanctuary curves around a lake and is a triumph of thermal design and artistic vision. It features arched timber doors, a spiral stone staircase, cascading waterfall, secret wine cellar room, and a working drawbridge to the garage.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
