A luxury apartment that’s hosted a string of celebrities from well-known sporting heroes and race car drivers to rock stars and movie actors has hit the market.

The property, on the Gold Coast in Queensland, overlooks the famous Gold Coast 500 racetrack, and offers a spectacular bird’s eye view of the annual Supercars event.

Lucy Cole of Lucy Cole Prestige Properties is marketing the three-bedroom home in the Golden Gate tower and described it as an “iconic” residence.

She remained tight-lipped on who had stayed there but said it was a well-known celebrity hotspot.

“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 cars through Surfers Paradise streets,” Ms Cole said.

“It was considered the best vantage point to see the cars coming down the straight.”

The penthouse includes two open plan levels of living and dining with north-facing views of the beach, river and city.

It also has its own private rooftop with a pool, sauna and barbecue gazebo.

“Rarely do you find a penthouse of this calibre,” Ms Cole said.
