A renowned luxury penthouse with a storied celebrity history is headed to auction, offering buyers the rare opportunity to own a slice of Gold Coast’s glamorous lifestyle. The spacious apartment, perched high in the iconic Golden Gate tower at Surfers Paradise, is set apart by its famous vantage point overlooking the annual Gold Coast 500 Supercars event—making it not just a stunning home, but a piece of Australian motorsport history.
Over the years, this penthouse has quietly played host to a string of high-profile guests, from sports icons and racing drivers to musicians and film stars. While Lucy Cole of Lucy Cole Prestige Properties, the listing agent, remained discreet about specific names, she described the property as “iconic,” saying it had been a coveted address for celebrities during both the globally-renowned Indy Car Races and, more recently, the revved-up Gold Coast 500 that transforms Surfers Paradise every year.
Cole noted, “The position is A1 and was considered the tower to occupy starting from the famous world-renowned Indy car races and more recently the Gold Coast 500 through Surfers Paradise streets. It was considered the best vantage point to see the cars coming down the straight.”
With expansive living and dining spaces spanning two open-plan levels, the penthouse is designed for both comfortable family life and sophisticated entertaining. North-facing windows deliver spectacular, sweeping views over the beach, city, and river; the real showstopper is the direct bird’s-eye panorama of the racetrack, perfect for hosting Supercars race day parties or basking in the glittering Gold Coast nighttime skyline.
A standout feature for those who appreciate private leisure facilities is the apartment’s exclusive rooftop retreat, complete with a swimming pool, sauna, and sheltered barbecue gazebo—ideal for entertaining guests or relaxing in luxury above the city. The Golden Gate building itself also offers residents a lagoon-style pool, manicured gardens, communal entertaining zones, a library, and even a hair salon.
Described by Cole as “rarely found” in both class and scale, this three-bedroom residence has been tightly held, with property records indicating it last changed hands for $1.45 million in 2007. Prospective bidders will get their chance when the apartment goes under the hammer on July 25.
For those following other major Gold Coast property moves, recent headlines have included the purchase of a lavish mansion by world bikini champion Morgan Rose-Jones and the high-profile divorce of social media celebrity Tammy Hembrow, which may impact her $50 million empire. Such stories have further highlighted the Gold Coast’s reputation as Australia’s playground for the famous and ambitious. Explore the latest on epic mansion purchases and celebrity property headlines across the Coast.
The Golden Gate penthouse is more than an apartment—it is a legend, a social hub with an enviable history and prime position in the heart of Australia’s entertainment mecca. Its forthcoming auction will be closely watched by both real estate enthusiasts and fans of Australia’s celebrity scene, eager to see who will next call this iconic residence home.
