Mikaela Testa's ‘marble mansion' up for rent as crime fears force her out
TikToker Mikaela Testa's $2,700-a-week designer home is up for rent after the controversial online star revealed she feared for her safety while living at the jaw-dropping marble-look mansion.
Known as Ruin X, the fully rendered Burleigh Waters property is described as a 'bold showcase of custom luxury' and became an internet sensation when it was put up for auction in March 2022.
It was a renovation project by former owner and residential and commercial renderer, Matt Jamieson, of Render X, who crafted bespoke furnishings to match floor-to-ceiling smooth surfaces resembling marble.
Designer Jayson Pate was enlisted for the transformation of the 1990-built four-bedroom, two-bathroom home, with features including quirky backlit wall niches, a formal lounge with open fireplace and Timothy Ousten chandelier, and a marble island bench in the kitchen.
The Beaconsfield Drive home is listed for rent with Kollosche agent, Tillini Carter.
'Bold and breathtaking, the entire 342 sqm floorplan is a textural triumph that fuses venetian plaster and rendered finishes with the romance of arches and curves,' the listing states.
'Set beneath ceilings that soar to almost 4m in places, it also intertwines subtle Hollywood glam.'
Testa is one of Australia's most well-known adult content creators with a TikTok following of more than 3m.
Recently making headlines for her bitter feud with fellow creator and former friend Anna Paul, she posted a TikTok video inside Ruin X last month titled, 'my final house tour in Australia'.
Testa revealed she was moving to Germany, adding: 'everyone knows where I live'.
'I have packed up my entire house and I am going in two days and I don't plan to ever come back,' she said.
'I love Australia, I think it is one of the most beautiful countries in the world, but it is just not what it used to be.
'The youth crime in this town where I live is so f***ing bad and everyone knows where I live and I don't want to live here anymore. I don't feel safe here.'
Michael Jordan-inspired home hits the market
Referencing the home's showpiece double arched glass front door complete with bronze snake handle, Testa said she was regularly disturbed by passers-by.
'My door is made of glass so people yell things out and I can hear them all the time,' she said.
Other features of the home include a luxurious master bedroom suite with a built-in rendered bed, boutique-style dressing room and bold ensuite with freestanding concrete bath, while outside is a showstopping covered al fresco area with a bar and curved pool complete with rendered diving board.
'The Ruin X party pavilion…sizzles with an exotic Ibizan-style energy,' the listing states.
The property last sold under the hammer for $2,713,888 to Melbourne investor Christopher Shao and was subsequently hired as a luxury events and photo shoot space at $4,000 a day by high-profile clients including Chloe Szepanowski and Ashy Bines.
