Ex-basketball player Andrew Bogut is renting out his luxury Currumbin house
Aussie basketball legend Andrew Bogut and his wife Jessica are courting $5,000 a week rent for their spectacular hilltop mansion overlooking Currumbin Beach.
The outspoken former player, who spent most of his career in the States with the NBA and also captained Australia’s national team the Boomers, is seeking a tenant with a sky-high budget to take up residence in the distinctive three-level beach house he purchased for $4.45 million in 2019.
The architecturally designed property is currently the Gold Coast’s most expensive rental property advertised with a price on realestate.com.au — with the successful applicant also required to stump up a $30,000 bond.
It was designed by Paul Uhlmann.
What a spot for a dinner party.
The 7-bedroom, 4-bathroom oceanview home backing onto national park and known as The Copper House is listed with Kollosche agents, Josh Castellaro and Mark Thomas.
Designed by renowned architect Paul Uhlmann, it has a curved copper-clad facade with features including an internal glass lift, sleek kitchen fitted with high-end European appliances, formal dining room with wine collector’s cabinet, multiple outdoor entertaining areas plus 6-person spa and pool.
“This is a furnished masterpiece and a perfect fusion of bush and beachside living,” the property listing states.
