Gold Coast’s ‘most-wanted’ mansion with celebrity links is snapped up

108 Crescent Ave, Hope Island

A newly built eight-bedroom mansion on a sprawling waterfront parcel has been snapped up after being crowned the Gold Coast’s most-wanted home for 2025.

Named Salt, the dream home is the work of well-connected local concreter Brenton Fisher, whose last property hosted high-profile parties with celebrity mates including billionaire Adrian Portelli and his sometime-business partner, Troy ‘Candy’ Williams.

The double-storey home at 108 Crescent Ave, Hope Island was this week listed as “under offer”, marketed by Kollosche agents, Paul Harrison and Josh Finch after it passed in at auction with another agent.

Details of the sale remained disclosed until the contract is unconditional, however it was listed with price hopes north of $9.5m.

The spectacular home was the region’s most-viewed listing, notching up 45,152 clicks on realestate.com.au in the 12 months to October, PropTrack data shows.

Mr Fisher said the showstopper was not conceived as a party house, despite standout entertaining zones, including a heated pool and spa with sunken firepit, home cinema, and sports bar.

“It’s a great entertainer, but I designed the house with the scale and separation for a large family that will have this property for generations,” he said.

“It is built extremely well, and it can house extended family and friends so everyone has their own living area.”

Their last Runaway Bay project is an favoured party destination for the Gold Coast influencer set, including Troy ‘Candy’ Williams (pictured, far right).

Built over a 3,163 sqm allotment with 22m of waterfrontage, Salt follows Mr Fisher’s 2022 project, The Anglers House, a Runaway Bay property renting from $350 an hour as a shoot location.

“It was Troy’s [Williams] birthday on the weekend and I did have a joke with Adrian [Portelli] about buying the house,” Mr Fisher said.

“We laughed about it, because they get so harassed by everyone to buy their house, and generally it’s worth about half of what they want for it.”

Portelli shot to fame bidding for houses on hit TV reno show, The Block, and runs a promotion company where subscribers stand to win luxury homes.

The palatial estate with Beverly Hills looks and A-list vibes unfolds behind a porte-cochere, with an oversized pivot door leading to a grand foyer complete with marble quartz feature wall and circular staircase.

“I’ve gone really over the top with the finishes,” Mr Fisher said.

“I didn’t want a single square metre of that place to be plain, so everywhere is detailed with something unique.”

Premium finishes include multi-level skylights, polished concrete floors, imported marble, sky white dolomite, LED feature lighting, and bespoke joinery.

Six of the property’s eight ensuited bedrooms are upstairs, and there’s also a separate guest house, while downstairs is a 12-seat theatre and bar along with an open-plan kitchen, lounge, and dining area leading to an alfresco terrace with teppanyaki bar.

Mr Harrison said Salt was “one of the best homes on the Gold Coast”, with a building and pest inspector unable to fault its solid concrete construction.

“This home from a construction point of view is flawless,” he said.

The median house price in Hope Island sits at $1.7m, according to PropTrack data.
