NBA Hall of Famer Andrew Bogut courts $8m for ‘Copper House’

Former basketballer Andrew Bogut is selling his Gold Coast mansion

Aussie basketball great Andrew Bogut is courting $7.95m for his striking oceanview mansion known as the Copper House.

The former NBA player and part-owner of the Sydney Kings has listed the architecturally designed Currumbin home, which had been rented at $5,000 a week after Bogut and wife Jessica purchased an acreage property elsewhere on the Gold Coast.

Bogut this week became the ninth Australian inducted into the FIBA Hall of Fame, following a celebrated career spanning 14 seasons in the US with the NBA, notably winning a championship with Golden State Warriors in 2015.

He also captained Australia’s national team the Boomers, starting in three Olympic Games, and played with the Sydney Kings where he will coach the 2026 season.

Bogut paid $4.45m for the distinctive three-level beach house designed by Paul Uhlmann in 2019.

The seven-bedroom, four-bathroom home on an elevated 774 sqm lot at 4 Duringan Street is marketed by Michael Kollosche.

It has a curved copper-clad facade with features including an internal glass lift, sleek kitchen fitted with high-end European appliances, formal dining room with wine collector’s cabinet, multiple outdoor entertaining areas plus six-person spa and pool.

Interiors draw on raw materials of timber, stone and stainless steel, softened by blackbutt floors and ceiling linings.

Picture windows and open-plan zones invite in natural light, leafy outlooks and sea breezes.

“Function and flow have been thoughtfully considered, with communal living spaces occupying the upper level to maximise the panoramic outlook captured from a vast covered terrace,” the listing states.

The home has a flexible floor plan ideal for multi-generational living, with master bedrooms on two levels and five other bedrooms upstairs.
