Notoriously private world champion surfer Mick Fanning reveals breathtaking renovation of his multi-level oceanfront estate by celebrity stylists, “Makes an enormous emotional impact…profoundly moving!”

Swing through Fanning's three-storey house on eleven-thousand square feet of beachfront dirt…

Mick Fanning may be rich as hell and one of the Gold Coast’s most significant land owners but Mick’s never forgotten that he grew up in hard-scrabble Tweed Heads.

Fanning, forty-two, was the good samaritan who spent days on his jetski evacuating the wretched from their watery prisons during “one-in-one-thousand-year” floods on the NSW north coast, an hour or so south of Mick’s joint on the Gold Coast.

There ain’t a charity he won’t help, a child in need he won’t shower in gifts, a cause he won’t lend his imprimatur.

And, now, Mick has opened the door (reclaimed wood) to his Hamptons-themed three-storey house on eleven-thousand square feet of beachfront dirt at Bilinga, just across the road from Coolangatta airport there.

Mick paid $3.25 mill for the block in 2011 and built the three-level house, complete with elevator for the lazy or invalided, two years later.

It’s the same place Mick’s mysterious strawberry blonde stalker busted into a couple of years back.

“I occasionally want to kill you … to end our occasional miserable bullshit,” the woman told Fanning in a letter prior to her unannounced visit.

Anyway, celebrity stylists Three Birds Renovation did a number on the joint, turning Mick’s house, which is available for holiday rentals ’cause Mick don’t live there anymore, into the sorta Palm Springs themed place André Balazs had in mind when he redeveloped the old Golden Crest Hotel Retirement Home on 8300 Sunset, West Hollywood.

(RIP The Standard West Hollywood)

Lot of white walls, white floors, ping pong table, sunken lounge, fireplaces etc.

Fanning, of course, retired from professional surfing four years ago to concentrate on family and money following seventeen years on the tour where he accumulated twenty-two wins, three world titles and a dreadful Great White encounter.

Not enough beige.

Nonagon_Infinity

Great white reality shark

Kasandra Mann

Lets see Karissa Dalton’s house that she got in the settlement instead…

GiGi

i like Dion Agius’ shipping container better…..

Gumby's Left Nut

Bitch!!

DavidC

It reminds me of an “Absolutely Fabulous” gag where Edina goes to a friend’s all white interior house with a bottle of red wine – they had to put it in a cupboard because it clashed so much with the décor!

Hippy

Incredibly annoying women.

Carolyn Kreiss made a fortune selling white in the 80’s, glad Australia discovered her style.

Ando

The worst of the nouveau riche white trash wannabes.
Wouldn’t piss on them if they were on fire.
Hope Fanning is having a good hard look at himself

My ears were bleeding listening to 3 of similar winey voices trying to talk over each other. Not a very smart sell from a marketing perspective. Just have one professionally trained guide instead.

Hippy

Did you see their dirty feet jumping on pure white furniture in the original video before this chunk went rogue?

ValiantScorn

Where does he clean his firearms? Oh, forgot….

White lighting, white house, white trash

In sharp contrast to the all white halls and close-out sand beach of ‘the Lighting’ abode, I came across an all yellow streak of the coastal Cali areas (and millions of abodes) subject to tsunamis…would have been a better map if white replaced the yellow…or black, in the event of an oil spill…or brown, in the event of a sewage spill; or even green, in the event of an algae bloom…

Mick’s design team should consider doing the same: brown bathroom, yellow walkways marking a tsunami wave high point; green pavement instead of grass…black light room for doing the dirty; all white is for punks & recovering stalkers…(also Ye)

Griffin… kinda like the pot calling the kettle black don’t ya think?

frank

Does it come with a guy who shouts “Boss, de plane, de plane is here!!!”

channelbottom

This is purely to flog, not live in

Steven Rees

A ping pong table? So THAT’S how the 1% live.

Sean Connery

They have no patience for one that is foldable.

Stick man

Welcome to my $3million dollar Bleach house… needs a lightning-bolt on the door!

Jimmy the Saint

Mick looked like he really enjoyed doing this and it wasn’t his wife’s idea to have the camera crew over at all! They should get Donny Brink over to do a renovation!

Sean Connery

An argument or two went down for sure before he green lit this show.

Jrilla

It’s a strange niche you’ve carved out for yourself Derek. Surfer’s pads. I clicked on it, you clicked on it, why? I don’t know.

channelbottom

1. This screams of White Nationalism
2. He clearly won’t be policing mudslides.

Stick man

All white all white all white!

notsurfingtoday

Is this what is called a bauhaus style decoration

White on white translucent black capes
Back on the rack
Bela Lugosi’s dead

Derek Hynd's Missing Fins

Definitely puts the white, in White Lightning.

Gomez

Crickey…….and here I ‘am thinking lemons were yellow…
Now if this was overlooking Gnaraloo, Mundaka or any number of wave classic spots, it might have same style to it…
But Bilinga???……The beach of the long white close out
Apparently making a silk purse out of a pig’s ear only takes money……..

Stick man

and a fuckin airport across the way?!? That place will be on the market in a jiffy!

Sean Connery

Less regular drop ins when you live on a close out.
