A Gold Coast property named Skyfall is set to go to auction on June 1.
A Gold Coast trophy house named Skyfall in a nod to the James Bond series has hit the market and it’s got all the extras a secret agent could want.
Skyfall is nestled in the hillside of Tallai on one of the Hinterland’s most popular streets.
The five-bedroom residence has something for the whole family with a jaw-dropping vista, suspended bridge, infinity-edged pool and basketball court.
Day or night — the view impresses.
The 16m lap pool.
The firepit with the suspended bridge in the background.
The property, only completed last month, is set to go to auction on June 1.
Owner Simon Newitt, the managing director of Steel Construct Australia, joined forces with building designer Zauss House and construction company TLF Developments, to bring his vision to life.

He bought the block, at 453 The Panorama, in 2018 and spent almost four years, on and off, working on the design and construction.
“I had a dream about 20 years ago when I sat up here when it was just a lookout and wanted to buy a parcel of land but I could never afford to do so,” the father-of-three said.
“I’m from country Tasmania and love my space and I love my country rural feel.
“I still like to be engaged to the Coast and have it all available but like to get back to privacy.”
The kitchen and dining area spills out to the pool.

Following three successful builds in Burleigh and Tallai, Mr Newitt embarked on his dream house, an 88m single-level residence blending steel and concrete with brass and stone finishes.
“My business fabricates structural steel and rigs it,” he said.
“The whole skeleton, sub floor and framing was all done by my company.
“It’s solid as a rock, it’s like a bunker.”

From the street, the house is set down and hidden, although the pristine landscaping and front gates give you a glimpse of what’s to come.
Inside and the view — from South Stradbroke Island in the north, down to NSW’s Fingal Head in the south — takes your breath away.

Looking down the hill and it feels like you’re floating on top of the city.
“It really is such an incredible view,” he said.
“I wanted every room to have the view and because it was such a wide site, we could accommodate it.
Mr Newitt said he didn’t want a boring build and Skyfall is anything but conventional.

The residence includes high ceilings as well as custom lighting that illuminates the concrete walls.
The kitchen has a curved island bench, electric touch cupboards, Vintec wine fridge, Ilve induction cooktop and oven, as well as a butler’s pantry.
It joins the dining, and lounge area with opens via bifolds to the heated 16m infinity-edge lap pool, spa and eco deck with outdoor kitchen and fireplace.
The north part of the house has four ensuited bedrooms, as well as a media room and study.
“With steel I can float benches and cantilever steel and then we softened up the house with the brass finishes,” he said.
A bridge connects the main residence to the guesthouse.

A 20m suspended bridge to the south of the main residence accesses the luxury guesthouse, which also has its own plunge pool.
The house is fully automated with security cameras and keyless entry.
Other features include a basketball court, firepit and triple garage with air-base hangar-style doors.
Mr Newitt said Skyfall was only recently finished and while it would be bittersweet to sell, new development opportunities had come up.
