In a surprising turn of events, a Gold Coast buyer has shattered the suburb record for Burleigh Waters by placing a winning bid of $4.765m on a luxurious new-build property at 38 Honeyeater Drive. The Palm Springs-inspired family home attracted six registered bidders and sparked a fierce auction battle that saw bidding start at $2.3m and eventually culminate in the record-breaking sale.

Real estate agents Rebecca Moffrey and Troy Fitzgerald from Ray White Burleigh Group – Miami, who handled the auction, were amazed by the outcome. Moffrey stated, “It’s an amazing feat to be honest. It’s a great price and we’re really excited about it.” The successful bidder, who had been searching for a property in the area for six months, expressed her love for the house and its stunning features.

Spanning two levels, the five-bedroom, four-bathroom home overlooks Lake Miami and boasts a media room, study, double garage, outdoor entertaining area, swimming pool, spa, and firepit. The attention to detail in the property is unparalleled, with high-quality finishes and a meticulous design that emphasizes indoor and outdoor living.

Builder Joe Bebek, who constructed the house earlier this year as his family home, aimed for a modern yet beachy aesthetic with exceptional street appeal. Bebek described the property as an entertainer’s paradise, designed to cater to family life while offering a luxurious lifestyle for its residents. The sale price of $4.765m eclipses the previous suburb record set in 2023, highlighting the desirability of Burleigh Waters as a prime real estate location.

Overall, the successful auction and sale of 38 Honeyeater Drive showcase the demand for high-quality properties in sought-after locations like Burleigh Waters, setting a new benchmark for luxury living in the area.
