Inside, a sweeping central staircase and foyer set the tone for a home built on grandeur and craftsmanship, with designer furnishings, statement crystal lighting and a private lift servicing all three levels. The basement garage accommodates more than 10 vehicles, with space for a wellness retreat, workshop or recreational storage.
At the heart of the home, the kitchen is fitted with a full suite of premium Gaggenau appliances, including steam and specialty baking ovens, and dual dishwashers, induction cooking and integrated teppanyaki, built for serious entertainers and chefs alike.
The residence offers a versatile range of living spaces, from formal lounge and dining rooms to a piano lounge, cinema, library and fireplace, alongside an alfresco entertaining pavilion complete with integrated barbecue/teppanyaki grill and wok facilities connected to the home via oversized bi-fold doors.
The palatial master retreat features separate his and hers ensuites, designer dressing rooms, a concealed kitchenette and a private waterfront balcony, while four additional bedroom suites each include their own ensuite and bespoke finishes. A fully self-contained guest residence adds further flexibility for visitors or multigenerational living.
Outdoors, resort-style entertaining terraces and a spectacular pool complement the property's standout drawcard: approximately 35 metres of bridge-free waterfrontage, deep-water mooring and a private pontoon, positioned within Sanctuary Cove's secure, 24-hour monitored marina precinct with direct access to the Broadwater.
The listing comes on the back of a record-breaking run for Ray White Sanctuary Cove principal Matt Gates, who sold neighbouring properties 1033 Edgecliff Place in March for $14,000,000 and 1039 Edgecliff Place, a vacant block of land, sold for $23,000,000 in May, setting a new residential record for a block of land in the precinct.
The absolutely rare 4,021sqm waterfront allotment had it all, scale, position and an impressive 128m of pristine water frontage.
Mr Gates said the sale of 5685 Anchorage Terrace was one of the most significant appointments of his career.
"5685 Anchorage Terrace is a truly generational estate, one of those exceptionally rare properties that comes to market perhaps only once in a generation. In my view, it's unlike anything Sanctuary Cove, the northern Gold Coast, and arguably Queensland has seen since the family originally acquired it in 2012," Mr Gates said.
"Having had the privilege of selling the property to the current owners all those years ago, it's incredibly rewarding to now represent the family in bringing this remarkable home to market. That continuity makes this appointment especially meaningful.
"This is far more than a luxury residence; it's a timeless waterfront estate that combines irreplaceable landholding, uncompromising craftsmanship and one of the finest Main River positions in south east Queensland. Opportunities of this calibre are extraordinarily rare, and very few buyers will ever have the chance to own a property of this significance."
