Brisbane mansion shatters records and sells for over $18 million
<p>This luxurious mansion has become Brisbane’s most expensive property after selling for $18.48 million.</p>
<p>The three-storey clifftop mansion at 1 Leopard Street, Kangaroo Point, broke the record when the property changed hands this week. The five-bedroom property has 72 metres of uninterrupted views of Brisbane’s city skyline. This sale beats Brisbane’s previous property price record when Gina Rinehart bought a home for $14 million in 2014.</p>
<p>The opulent property has an infinity pool with views of the city and river, an internal lift and a fully-equipped gym. It also contains Saint Lorraine marble flooring from Greece, a climate-controlled wine cellar and a steam room.</p>
<p>The prestige property market in Brisbane has been soaring and does not look like it will stop anytime soon.</p>
<p>Matt Lancashire from Ray White New Farm said, “Towards the end of 2016 we saw a definitely positive shift in the high end luxury market, with a record number of $5 million plus homes transacting.”</p>
<p>“I am predicting a strong finish to the year and seeing no signs of a slow down,” he said.</p>
