Draw 411 Winner - December 2023

A Life-Changing Win on the Gold Coast Imagine waking up to the sound of waves and the promise of financial freedom. For Chris from Sydney, this dream became reality in December 2023 when they won an extraordinary beachfront apartment complex on the Gold Coast, QLD. This wasn't just a single property—it was an entire investment portfolio valued at $12.6 million, offering both lifestyle flexibility and substantial income potential. Property Overview This remarkable prize comprised four luxury apartments in a prime Gold Coast beachfront location. Each residence was designed to capture the essence of coastal living, with carefully considered layouts that maximize natural light and showcase uninterrupted ocean views. The complex represents a rare opportunity to own multiple premium properties in one of Australia's most sought-after destinations, where the golden beaches meet sophisticated urban amenities. The architectural design reflects contemporary coastal elegance, with each apartment offering its own distinct character while maintaining cohesive aesthetic appeal throughout the complex. This multi-residence format provides the winner with unprecedented flexibility—whether choosing to occupy one apartment while generating income from the others, or maximizing returns by leasing all four properties. Features & Finishes The standout feature of this prize is undoubtedly its beachfront position, placing residents just steps from the sand and surf. Each of the four luxury apartments boasts sweeping ocean views that transform everyday living into a permanent vacation experience. The complex was designed to capture cooling sea breezes and frame the ever-changing coastal panorama. Beyond the lifestyle appeal, the investment credentials are equally impressive. With an estimated rental income of $369,200 per year, this property complex offers substantial passive income potential. The Gold Coast's strong rental market, driven by both lifestyle seekers and holiday visitors, ensures consistent demand throughout the year. Location & Lifestyle The Gold Coast, Queensland's premier coastal destination, offers an enviable lifestyle that balances natural beauty with urban convenience. Residents enjoy access to pristine beaches, world-class dining, shopping precincts, and entertainment venues. The region's subtropical climate ensures year-round outdoor living, while excellent infrastructure connects the area to Brisbane and beyond. This beachfront location places you at the heart of the coastal lifestyle, where morning swims, sunset walks, and weekend beach gatherings become part of daily life.
