Self-tan mogul lists luxe Middle Park beachfront pad for $15.9m+
The award-winning Middle Park house of a beauty empire boss has been listed for an eye-watering $15.9m-$16.3m.
The beachside Beaconsfield Pde home belongs to MineTan Body Skin founder Kirstie Kirkham, who was working as an events manager when she developed her first self-tanner more than a decade ago.
Since then, her company has developed world-first products including coconut-water based self-tans, sweat-proof tans and an at-home spray tan kit.
The business' cosmetics are stocked by retailers in Australia, the US and Europe.
In May 2024, Ms Kirkham paid more than $30m for the Toorak home of hospitality industry couple Robert and Elizabeth Zagame.
Ms Kirkham's Middle Park abode, named Panorama House, received two gongs at the 2025 Australian Interior Design Awards in the Residential Decoration and Residential Design Best of State (Victoria) categories.
Melbourne-based interior designer Sally Caroline won the awards after being commissioned to give the home a new look using 'vibrant colours and playful spaces that spark joy and curiosity', according to the awards' website.
The residence's jaw-dropping features include a four-car basement with a turntable, wine fridge and meat dry ager, a refrigerator that's used for ageing meat to enhance flavour and tenderness.
There's also a lift, two bars, a courtyard with a retractable roof, gym, Tesla home battery, glass-walled office and an upstairs living space with a suspended fireplace.
The kitchen is fitted with Gaggenau and Sub-Zero appliances and a marble island bench, while the main bedroom has a walk-in wardrobe and ensuite.
Several types of marble feature throughout the home, plus a laundry, upstairs powder room and solar energy integration.
Kay & Burton director Andrew Sahhar and his colleague Danielle Horne have the listing alongside Agency Outcomes' Hugh Jones.
Mr Sahhar declined to comment on Panorama House's owner, but said the abode offered spectacular views across Port Phillip Bay and Melbourne's skyline.
'Homes like this do not come up often, every room has a stunning bay or city view,' Mr Sahhar said.
'The home is not only functional but a masterpiece in design.'
Describing it as one of the 'best beachfront properties in Melbourne', he added having a four-car garage was also a rarity in Middle Park where it can often be difficult to find street parking.
Mr Sahhar said plenty of locals and interstate buyers have inquired about the house.
'We have a buyer flying in from Sydney to inspect this week,' he said.
Expressions of interest close at 5pm on September 15.
