Buddy Franklin and wife Jesinta have relisted their Reedy Creek retreat, Villa Casa.

“Villa Casa” is more than a home, it’s an icon,” the pitch for the home reads.

“Perched high on 4,497m² and sculpted to feel suspended on the hillside, this award-winning masterpiece fuses Mediterranean soul with Gold Coast edge

“Designed by Reece Keil and brought to life by Tidal Constructions, every inch of its 1,102m² footprint is bespoke.
