A Gold Coast mansion described as a property the Flintstone family would feel at home in has sold for $4.9 million.
The Sovereign Islands property has a European influence with 200 tonnes of custom stonework, terracotta roof tiles sourced from France and a turret.

Ivy Realty’s Ivy Wu and Isaac Kim handled the mega deal after managing to find a buyer upgrading from nearby Ashmore.
“It was an interesting story as we actually had his property in Ashmore for sale first,” Mr Kim said.
“One of our agents listed his property and sold it within 24 hours.
“He had been through the Sovereign Islands property and then after we sold his property, he was in a position to make an offer.”
