Carved directly into the Tallai ridgeline, The Estate is a newly completed ultra-luxury mountainside compound commanding uninterrupted views across the Gold Coast skyline, Pacific Ocean and hinterland. Positioned on an exceptional city-fringe landholding, the residence delivers a rare balance of absolute privacy and proximity, sitting just 18 minutes from Broadbeach, premier beaches, dining, schools and infrastructure. This elevated setting creates a sense of silence and separation while remaining deeply connected to the city below, an achievement seldom realised at this scale on the Gold Coast. Designed as a secure, self-contained estate, the property combines executive-grade security, advanced automation, backup power and internet redundancy with true lock-and-leave capability, allowing for autonomous long-term living without compromise.
The main residence unfolds across multiple wings, carefully zoned for private living, entertaining and wellness, with every primary space oriented to frame the panoramic outlook. A ceremonial arrival sequence sets the tone, centred on a circular cobblestone driveway and a five-element fountain featuring flame, water and a sculptural dragon tree. Inside, a soaring gallery foyer leads to expansive living, dining and kitchen zones overlooking the infinity-edge pool and skyline. The kitchen is anchored by rare Calacatta Viola marble and a sculptural copper rangehood, complemented by a formal dining room with integrated wine display and a dedicated tasting room for curated wines, aged meats and cheeses. The entertainment wing accommodates large-scale hosting with a Manhattan-inspired whisky bar and dining lounge, elevated terraces with night-time city views, a sound-insulated poker and cigar room, and a 16-seat private cinema rivaling a boutique theatre.
At the core of the home sits a comprehensive health and wellness precinct flowing directly to an 18-metre heated gold-mosaic infinity pool, alongside gym facilities, sauna, steam room, hydrotherapy zones and garden outlooks designed for balance and recovery. The master retreat occupies its own private wing, functioning more like a penthouse suite with soaring ceilings, private balconies, fireplace, kitchenette, dual walk-in dressing rooms and a hotel-grade ensuite finished in marble and Bisazza mosaics. Beyond the main residence, three fully self-contained Sky Residences, including a two-bedroom guest house, additional guest accommodation and caretakerโs quarters, provide complete autonomy with separate access and parking. Recreational amenities extend across the perimeter of the estate, incorporating a 160-metre go-kart circuit, basketball court and putting green, while beneath the home lies a nine-car glass-fronted automotive gallery with electric turntable, executive office, simulator room and workshop capability. The result is a singular Gold Coast trophy compound, defined by scale, engineering precision and lifestyle depth, offering a level of city-fringe luxury without precedent.

At the entrance of Brad Moranโs 8888-square-metre property in the Gold Coast hinterland, there is a massive fountain with an infinity edge, complete with mosaic tiles featuring 24-carat gold. There is also a mature dragon tree, a 10-metre-high front door and a nine-car garage. Pausing for breath at the top of the steep driveway, youโd likely think this is the home of someone who has โmade itโ.
The home is a vessel of Moranโs ambition. The renovation has taken up 60-odd hours a week of his time for the past three years and cost upwards of $20 million (much more than he had intended). He designed the home to sell, but itโs taken months for him to feel comfortable letting it go. โWho is going to recognise the work?โ Moran wants to know. โI canโt see someone getting to the end and not falling in love with it, so I donโt think it will be an issue, but I donโt want it to be just a trophy piece .โ.โ. Validation is all Iโve ever chased, really.โ
