"We had about 50 people there with six registered bidders.”
Senior auctioneer John Milroy did the proceedings with bids starting at $500,000.
"It very quickly went to $800,000,” Peter said.
"John was one of the most successful auctions he has conducted.
"Just the amount of registered bidders, the strong showing.

Peter said the new owner, Brad Mulvihill, had always wanted to live at the beach.
"He has a boat down at the harbour and saw the house going up for auction and said he had to have it,” he said.
"He is going to live there and just enjoy his life.”
A home in Pacific Heights sold for $870,000 six weeks ago while one in Yeppoon on Todd Ave sold for $1.35 million.
"Sales now at the top of the market have now certainly improved in the last six months,” Peter said.
"The market is much stronger than it was.”
"The interest that was shown at Saturday's auction was evident with that.”
