“A once in a lifetime opportunity is coming soon! Is this your divine timing?"
Only three years after spending three million dollars on a beachside masterpiece near Coolangatta airport and four hundred yards from the Gold Coast’s fifth best point, Mick Fanning has quietly listed the joint with hopes of four-mill plus.
The beach house at 5 Farrell Drive, Tugun, click if you want to examine photos of it, backs onto a bird sanctuary and was a hot target for buyers in an already over-heated market when Mick Fanning bought it. Three mill for a house a ten-minute walk from the beach? Five years ago, you’d be stretched to catch a buyer willing to shovel a million bucks at it.
These days, and so hot is the market, it’s gonna cost close to four bricks.
Gun agent Emisha Canning has listed the house for private auction with inspections beginning October 26.
From the agent’s selling spiel,
Divine timing awaits✨
A once in a lifetime opportunity is coming soon. A 1269m² land + home, in the coveted Currumbin Pocket—there’s nothing else here that exists similar! This unique space was made possible by a historic acquisition of additional land, enhancing the standard block size.
Explore a home that truly belongs, complete with fruit trees, edible gardens, and planter boxes—just a short walk to the beach, all situated on a prime capital growth street.
Is this your divine timing? ✨

Two years ago, Mick Fanning auctioned off a five day vacation in the house and raised almost twenty gees for people ruined by floods.
As Emisha Canning said at the time,
“He was out there in the community and was on the water meeting everyone and was really affected by their stories,” Canning said. “When you’re on the ground seeing how people are affected it’s pretty emotionally daunting. He (Mick Fanning) and his wife have been working non-stop to raise money for the families.”

Fuck , who would want to live in Queensland?
It’s not Currumbin its Tugun.
The market isn’t super hot.
It’s dim .
After the great covid escape from Sydney and Melbourne reality is setting in.
Those that moved and brought at the peak cannot afford to sell and move back.
At two million his still dreaming.
The rates every year are at least 45k
Still there a sucker born every minute but I suspect most have already sold up and moved up.
The airport isn’t so bad, like living next to train tracks you get used to overwhelming noise and toxic chemicals.
So much serenity
When it rains the homeless get a shower
Not a well designed home judging by the pics. I will not be raising my hand at the auction.
Nae room to swing a cat let alone a satisfying grind on that pishy little microramp.
Do love that pic of Eugene (I think), and Chas
No vert? Weak bro.
Nobody cares about Mick anymore. The people want to know about Flick Palmateer’s “Jackhammering” injury.

Somebody help me out here.
Do we think that MF truly believes that Jews cause all the wars in the world, or was he just trying in “Currumbin speak” to hurt Uncle Chas’ feelings?
I have no idea, and am open to arguements for both. I’m just amazed it’s something that’s still mentioned here, unless we’re just toting feelings. And if we’re just toting feelings then I get it because, believe you me, I hold on to some unnecessary shit for decades after I should.
Thanks, in advance, for bringing me up to speed. Maybe I’m just blinded by my (very) far-sighted appreciation for MF’s public image (the Chas incident aside).
Nothing says cashed up white trailer trash like a skateramp the living room.
This place screams stole dad’s credit card and headed to Home Depot.
Bunnings for all you Australians

DR up and a morning ju jitsu nut sac in the mouth roll around session followed a Sunday 7am post on Bethany Hamilton; then a 730am post on real estate; so next we’ll get an 8am post on the US presidential election hoping for 50 to 100 comments to pay the bills; and if lucky, an 830am post on some surf adjacent literature that weaves in the penis poem. Topped off by trying to get us to watch some Chas Youtube b.s. or some vlog (“essential”) with that offering posted at 9am. All in a days’ work at Groundhog Day Grit.
And here you are.
We’re all part of the ritual. The hope is when they finally retire the site they fly us all to a wave pool. Knowing them it will be Typhoon Lagoon.
Or a busted Surf Lakes.
If there’s badminton and Gman present I’m there no matter where. Tell him I say hello.
What about Wiggolly
He should fly business
Negs’ll fix it
Id love to surf that. Jet ski whip ins like Trent Munro in Malaysia
Et voila! Set your clock for a story celebrating brave little nation on the Mediterranean Sea fighting for its life for the seventh, or maybe eighth, time in seventy six years.
What no Israel?
