Named Australasia's best architectural residence and People's Choice Gold Coast Home of 2025, The Ashbourne House represents a fusion of grand ambition and liveable luxury. This waterfront lifestyle masterpiece draws inspiration from the mega mansions of Los Angeles, offering an exceptional living experience.

Situated on a 1,161 square meter central Gold Coast parcel, the property faces north-east towards the water, providing a direct line of sight to the iconic Q1 tower. The impressive street presence features an imposing structure crafted from textured concrete, dry stacked stone, dark-toned timber, and lush landscaping, setting the tone for the exquisite interiors.

The entrance is marked by a monumental timber-clad pivot door that opens to reveal a clear view from the front entry to a tranquil river expanse. The design emphasizes openness with wide openings, expansive glazing, and a central courtyard that houses a magnesium pool, a steel-constructed gazebo, and mature Heliconias, creating a private resort-style sanctuary.

Commercial-grade sliding doors seamlessly connect indoor and outdoor spaces. The kitchen is a showpiece with a 4.4-meter island bench, equipped with premium appliances including dual Smeg ovens, a coffee machine, a 5-burner gas cooktop, two dishwashers, a Liebherr wine fridge, and a concealed bar. A butler's pantry with floor-to-ceiling cabinetry, a drinks fridge, garden views, filtered water tap, and a Franke sink supports meal preparation and entertaining.

The double-storey alfresco entertaining area features a built-in Beefeater BBQ, dual bar fridges in waterproof cabinetry, and offers dual views of the water and courtyard. A cosy cinema room with a 120-inch screen, projector, 5.1 surround sound, automatic leather recliners, and ambient lighting provides a perfect space for relaxed evenings.

The upper level is dedicated to rest and relaxation, with a second living area providing additional space for children or teenagers. There are three super-sized bedrooms upstairs, each with walk-in robes and ensuite bathrooms. The waterfront master suite is a six-star retreat with a kitchenette, freestanding bath, deluxe ensuite with twin showers and vanity, and an ultra-luxe dressing room featuring a leather bedhead with backlighting.

The ground floor includes a guest bedroom with a walk-in robe and ensuite. Bathrooms throughout the home feature large format and feature tiling, stone vanities with brushed copper tapware, round backlit mirrors, and in-wall cistern toilets, complemented by two stylish powder rooms.

Additional features include a generous laundry and mudroom, entry cabinetry with a curved mirror, and a triple garage with a timber-clad door, epoxy flooring, and storage, plus additional secure off-street parking. An 8-meter pontoon provides direct access to the Nerang River for watercraft.

The property incorporates sustainable and smart home technologies such as a 14.11-kilowatt solar system, smart automation with C-Bus, ducted air conditioning with MyAir system controllable via smartphone, motorised Somfy blinds, SONOS 3-zone audio, home network with multiple access points, IP surveillance cameras, smartphone intercom with keypad and camera, security alarm, and gatehouse intercom.
