Race car driver’s pool party pad has an underwater bar

Shane Tucker and partner Rebecca Maloney have sold their northern Gold Coast mansion

A race car driver has collected $5.65m from the sale of his Gold Coast mansion complete with an underwater bar and glass panel view to the resort-style pool.

The Helensvale property changed hands in an off-market deal handled by Ray White agent Jai Bower for a sum equal to the suburb’s residential record.

The 2021-built mansion on a 1,636 sqm lot at 23 North Bank Ct was owned by Shane Tucker, who was one of Australia’s highest profile drag racing competitors, and his wife Rebecca Maloney.

Records show the couple paid $1.08m for the vacant block in 2017, entrusting Stuart Osman with the design and Resolve Construction with the build.

Pro Stock driver Tucker splits his time between Australia and Texas in the US, and owns a tequila brand with partner Jesse Ross, a former Australian Olympic boxer.

The sleek five-bedroom, six-bathroom house had been listed with another agent last year but didn’t sell.

Its features included a lavish master bedroom overlooking the Coomera River, kitchen with Caesarstone waterfall island and butler’s pantry, a media room and office.

Designed for entertaining, the home also has its own “wellness retreat” with a six-person sauna, full gym and spa, while the pool’s glass panel provides a unique water view from the basement-level cocktail bar.

The sale equalled a suburb record set by another home in the same estate

“This is an exceptional residence setting a new benchmark for luxury family living,” Mr Bower said.

He said a 6m high entry foyer set the stage for “opulence” throughout the home, with high-end finishes including timber cantilever stairs.

“Open-plan living areas connect the interiors to resort-style outdoor spaces, and a central mezzanine with floor-to-ceiling glazing and a ceiling void allows natural light to pour in.”

Mr Bower said the home was positioned on a coveted north-east facing block just moments from the main river, and with 40m of water frontage.

The sale matched another Stuart Osman-designed mansion in the same estate which changed hands for the same amount in July last year.

River Links estate is currently one of the only waterfront estates in the northern Gold Coast that has direct access to the ocean and no body corporate fees, the agent said.

PropTrack data shows Helensvale’s median house price was up 4.1 per cent over the last 12 months to a median of $1,217,750.
