Estate boasts dedicated games house and soccer pitch
A Mount Waverley estate featuring two homes including a purpose-built games and entertainment house is set for a $5m+ sale. Between them, the residences boast an outdoor soccer pitch, a wine cellar for 1500-plus bottles and home theatre designed by a Warner Bros engineer. Property developer Michael Biviano and wife Kerryn are farewelling the address where they raised sons Christian and Jacob. Buyer's plan after forking $2m on Mount Waverley home The soccer pitch was installed for Jacob who trialled at European soccer clubs as a teenager. However, he decided to pursue a career in real estate and is now a Ray White Mount Waverley area manager. And he's overseeing the sales campaign for the home he lived in as a younger man. His parents bought an existing home at 11-13 Miller Cres more than a decade ago. Wanting to stay in Mount Waverley but seeking more space, they decided against moving to a larger pad in a different suburb. Instead, the couple commissioned the original abode's builder and WOLF Architects to create a separate dwelling as a gaming and entertaining epicentre on the 1243sq m block. The second residence has an art room, billiards room, climate-controlled wine cellar, pilates area with a television, gym, kitchen, bathroom and double garage. However, the home theatre featuring a 343cm-wide (135 inches) screen and 16 speakers is part of the main five-bedroom house, along with a three-car garage. Other highlights include a 12.5m-long lap pool, deck with a barbecue and front fence built out of 110-year-old timber recycled from the former Mornington Pier. 'A main selling point of the home is that during Covid it was great because you could have separate living,' Jacob said. His family have hosted plenty of birthdays and gatherings at the property with one event attended by about 100 guests. 'The soccer pitch is an outdoor area which can be used as an entertaining area or sports area,' Jacob said. 'I think its size is equivalent to about three-quarters of a tennis court.' While the second house is used for games and entertainment, it could easily work for multi-generational living, he added. The houses are also on two different titles. 'So if you wanted to separate it down the line in the future and sell them separately, you could,' Jacob said.

Race car driver's pool party pad has an underwater bar
A race car driver has collected $5.65m from the sale of his Gold Coast mansion complete with an underwater bar and glass panel view to the resort-style pool. The Helensvale property changed hands in an off-market deal handled by Ray White agent Jai Bower for a sum equal to the suburb's residential record. The 2021-built mansion on a 1,636 sqm lot at 23 North Bank Ct was owned by Shane Tucker, who was one of Australia's highest profile drag racing competitors, and his wife Rebecca Maloney. Records show the couple paid $1.08m for the vacant block in 2017, entrusting Stuart Osman with the design and Resolve Construction with the build. Epic mountain retreat up for grabs Pro Stock driver Tucker splits his time between Australia and Texas in the US, and owns a tequila brand with partner Jesse Ross, a former Australian Olympic boxer. The sleek five-bedroom, six-bathroom house had been listed with another agent last year but didn't sell. Its features included a lavish master bedroom overlooking the Coomera River, kitchen with Caesarstone waterfall island and butler's pantry, a media room and office. Designed for entertaining, the home also has its own 'wellness retreat' with a six-person sauna, full gym and spa, while the pool's glass panel provides a unique water view from the basement-level cocktail bar. 'This is an exceptional residence setting a new benchmark for luxury family living,' Mr Bower said. He said a 6m high entry foyer set the stage for 'opulence' throughout the home, with high-end finishes including timber cantilever stairs. 'Open-plan living areas connect the interiors to resort-style outdoor spaces, and a central mezzanine with floor-to-ceiling glazing and a ceiling void allows natural light to pour in.' Mr Bower said the home was positioned on a coveted north-east facing block just moments from the main river, and with 40m of water frontage. The sale matched another Stuart Osman-designed mansion in the same estate which changed hands for the same amount in July last year. River Links estate is currently one of the only waterfront estates in the northern Gold Coast that has direct access to the ocean and no body corporate fees, the agent said. PropTrack data shows Helensvale's median house price was up 4.1 per cent over the last 12 months to a median of $1,217,750.
