“It hasn’t really been tested for a house on a block this big.”
Coolangatta-raised Fanning, 43, purchased the prime beachfront 1030 square metre block in 2011 for $3.25 million.

The original beach shack made way for a luxury multi-level Hamptons-style house with uninterrupted views of Bilinga Beach, south to Coolangatta and north to Surfers Paradise.
“There’s only a handful of homes on the southern end of the Gold Coast that are over a double block like this with two homes built on it,” the agent said.
“You could probably count them on one hand, and they don’t transact often, so it is certainly unique.”
The double block comprises a three-level primary residence and a two-level self-contained guest house.

Fanning lived in the house before being offered as a luxury holiday rental styled by design and renovation company Three Birds Renovations.
Described as offering “a striking blend of Hamptons charm and rustic Mediterranean retreat”, the house features rough-sawn timber beams, reclaimed French doors, whitewashed floors, and aged English tapware.

The ground level comprises a games room with a wet bar, a fitness retreat, a rear deck with hanging chairs, and a rendered concrete sunken lounge.
An internal lift to the first level reveals the luxury Hampton-style kitchen with a five-burner Lacanche cooktop and oven, a farmhouse sink, an integrated Liebherr fridge-freezer and a butler’s pantry.

Bi-fold windows take in the beach view, and a swimming pool with decorative tiles is built into the oceanfront deck.
Other features inside include a grand dining room, a wine cellar, a media room with a home theatre system and a kids’ retreat.
The second level has four bedrooms, a sitting room, a lounge room and balcony access.
The master suite, designed for a four-poster bed to face the ocean, has an open ensuite leading to the walk-in robe and dressing room.

A separate self-contained house can be used for guests or short-term accommodation.
There is also a three-car garage with lockable storage and utility rooms, surf craft racks, and secure off-street parking.
“We have had strong enquiry already,” the agent said.
Last year, Fanning, who has two young children with partner Breeana Randall, sold an investment property in Tugun, Queensland, for more than $3 million.
The luxury three-bedroom, two-bathroom house included a custom-built skate ramp, a pool, infra-red sauna and a home gym.
The property will be auctioned on-site on April 24 at 11am.
There is no price guide as it is agents are Queensland regulations prevent them from providing. According to CoreLogic, the median house price in Bilinga is $1.5 million, but this home is unique to the area.
“We are running private inspections only for qualified buyers and a private on-site auction.”
Mr Roberts said the property offered development upside as well.
“You can go up 23 metres, or seven levels, in the future as well, not that anyone would want to knock this property down just yet,” he said.
