Mandalay Coral Gardens, a 4749sq m waterfront estate exquisitely situated in northern tropical Queensland, Australia, was voted Australia’s House of the Year by the Australian Master Builders Association, and is now on sale with Christies Great Estates. The property even has its own helipad to allow residents and guests to enjoy the many attractions of Australia's most famous tropical region. With New Zealand stone, automatic sliding glass walls, Italian marble and endless terraces, the house is designed to make the absolute most of its stunning setting and panoramas over the surrounding Whitsunday ‘bounty bar’ islands.
Designed by architect Peter Connelly, Mandalay Coral Gardens was constructed in 2005 by owner Bill Sharpe, whose firm was the continent’s 2007–2008 “builder of the year” in Australia.
It is understood more than $15 million will be needed to secure the estate which includes a caretaker’s house, office and gym.
