Think, the ol' Standard West Hollywood but jammed right there in some Gold Coast sand dunes!
Just three months after selling his redundant investment property, a house with an indoor skate ramp near Coolangatta airport and four hundred yards from the Gold Coast’s fifth best point, Mick Fanning has listed his sprawling beachfront estate called Rolling Seas at nearby Bilinga.
Mick paid $3.25 mill for the block just across the road from Coolangatta airport in 2011 and built a Hamptons-themed three story 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 few years back.
Celebrity stylists Three Birds Renovation did a number on the joint a couple of years back that turned Mick’s house, 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.
The stretch of sand along Bilinga is as ordinary as they come, rarely, like, never, delivering a day worth even a pinch of shit, as they say. So you got your big ol beachfront joint and you still have to jump in the truck to go surfing, either at nearby D-Bah, Kirra, Snapper in the south or the better beachies just north in Currumbin and Palm Beach.
For the non-surfer, howevs, a palace beyond any reasonable dream.
It’s been seven years since father-of-two Mick Fanning retired from professional surfing, gathering twenty-two wins, three world titles and a dreadful Great White encounter along the way.
