8 Southern Cross Drive, Surfers Paradise is up for auction.
Gold Coast trophy homes don’t get much better than this Surfers Paradise showstopper.
The head-turning estate was built across a whopping 2221sq m riverfront block at 8 Southern Cross Drive on the exclusive Cronin Island and includes a tennis court, resort-style pool, games room, teppanyaki plate and glass wine cellar.
The three-storey residence is on a triple riverfront block on Cronin Island.
Built of suspended concrete, there is no denying the architectural credentials of the three storey luxury residence that sits comfortably within its triple block.
Seller Kylie Hough said the house had been a serene space to raise her family.
“We wanted the house to feel spacious and open, yet connected and private, with each living area providing a haven where our family could come together of a morning and relax together of a night,” she said.
“The house and land deliver this and more, with the kitchen being one of our favourite places to sit, chat and share a meal together while the sun goes down over the river.”

The kitchen is a favourite area for seller Kylie Hough.
The sense of volume is felt the moment you step inside where soaring voids, anchored by a two-way fireplace introduce the interplay of space, light, and form.
Overhead, gallery walkways hint at the home’s layered complexity.
Entertaining is easy beside the pool.
An expansive, dual-island kitchen is located at the northern end and connects effortlessly with both the tennis court on one side and, on the other, a pool and alfresco terrace equipped for grand-scale entertaining.
“Personally, I love the outdoor areas of a night – it’s so tranquil sitting by the water – and my office space on the upper level is beautiful and practical,” Ms Hough said.
“I mostly work from home and the study affords me the seclusion I need to work, without feeling completely disconnected from the rest of my family.”
There are four ensuited bedrooms on the middle floor.
Adjoining the living and dining space is a multipurpose room, games room and guest bedroom, while a temperature-controlled glass wine display is tucked beneath the staircase.
The middle level offers views of Cronin Park backed by the stunning city skyline and river.
There are four ensuited bedrooms on the middle floor, with the home’s linear design allowing the master suite to enjoy privacy in its own wing overlooking the water.
There are plenty of spaces to unwind and relax.
The third storey includes two executive-level office spaces that extend to rooftop terraces, serviced by a bathroom and wet bar.
“The house is functional, cohesive and peaceful,” Ms Hough said.
“We’ve spent multiple summers with friends, sharing food, playing music, the children enjoying the pool, while the adults taking turns for a hit on the court.
“We really couldn’t ask for more from a home and feel certain its new owners will love it as much as we do.”
The property is described as a grand inner-city estate.
Architect Bayden Goddard was behind the design and said the property encapsulated the essence of a grand inner-city estate.
“Very rarely do you get a block where you can balance the amount of house with the amenities – such as the pool, the tennis court, the driveways,” Mr Goddard said.
“The scale and setbacks give it a sense of proportion that is rare in urban environments.”
8 Southern Cross Drive has it all: thoughtful design, quality construction, premium materials, and a stunning triple-aspect view.
Kollosche principal Michael Kollosche and agent Jamie Harrison are marketing the blue-chip residence and said it offered the ultimate coastal lifestyle.
“For today’s discerning buyer, 8 Southern Cross Drive has it all: thoughtful design, quality construction, premium materials, and stunning triple-aspect views that come together to create a home that is extraordinary and timeless,” Mr Harrison said.
“It is on a unique triple block in an exclusive address, which is very rare to find, particularly on main river.”
