Location: Queensland, Australia
Price: £10,419,000 (About US$16 million) This estate is on Mandalay Point near the Whitsunday Islands, not far from the Great Barrier Reef. The Mediterranean-style, 28,500-square-foot home overlooks the Coral Sea. The estate belongs to Australian property developer Neil Murray, who purchased the land in 2001. Murray is selling because he bought another house to be closer to his family and no longer uses this property as often, he said in an email. During the two years it took to secure various approvals and permits, Murray traveled extensively with his architect and interior designer, gathering inspiration and materials to build the home. Construction took 3½ years and was finished in 2006. Agents: Aylesford International, Gold Coast Sotheby’s International Realty and Ray White Whitsunday. View the full listing.
