Queensland’s biggest EOFY sale has been on the Gold Coast this weekend with buyers instructed to ‘disregard all previous pricing’ at the auction of a Chris Clout designer home once listed at $10.8m.
The palatial four-level house at 662 Pacific Pde, Tugun was named one of Queensland’s top 50 homes by The Courier-Mail in 2020 and has tested the market several times before Michael Kollosche of Kollosche Broadbeach and auctioneer Justin Nickerson took the property to auction on Friday.

“Seller purchased elsewhere, this property must be sold. Disregard all previous pricing,” the Kollosche listing stated ahead of the auction which attracted five registered bidders.
The property sold to UK expats for $9.1m and they will use the property as a holiday home.

The sale was $1.7m below last year’s asking price but even so, it was enough to break the previous suburb record by more than $2m, confirming that Tugun’s beachfront precinct is emerging as the Gold Coast’s next ‘Millionaire’s Row”.
“As Mermaid Beach’s prices start to get out of reach for most people, these areas are now becoming incredibly valuable,” Mr Kollosche said.
“And if you had to rebuild that home it would take the best part of two years.”
Mr Kollosche said there were still plenty of homes that would fetch prices from $9m to $20m in Tugun.
“They just don’t come up that often.”
