Love Island star Sophie Monk sells ‘first home’ on the Gold Coast

Love Island host Sophie Monk has a secret shoebox apartment she bought in an Aussie city – now it can be revealed what her plans are with it.

Love Island host Sophie Monk has sold what is believed to have been her first ever home on the Gold Coast for a cool $595,000.

Publicly available property records show the Aussie funny girl purchased the unit in 2003 for $165,000 – proof of just how mental the local property market is now.

The deal also comes after Monk sold a five-bedroom, three-bathroom Helensvale home for $1.76 million in 2024.

Monk, a Gold Coast local, now lives in Sydney.

Her latest sale was marketed by Coastal brothers James and Steve Weir.

The unit is within this complex

“Ideal for those who value convenience, this top floor apartment enjoys an enviable location in the popular ‘Park View’ Building,” the listing says.

“Perfect for home or investment, it promises easy living just moments from all amenities.”

It has an east facing balcony, an open plan kitchen, living and dining area, a decent-sized bedroom with a built-in wardrobe and a ceiling fan, and is just a 250m stroll to the beach.

Inside the quaint unit

Complex facilities include a pool, spa and BBQ area and was described as “brilliant beach buying”.

“It was a good result (the sale),” James Weir said. “She bought it ages ago. I think it was her first ever home.”
