Coffey selling slice of paradise

Hedge fund dynamo Greg Coffey, now in London, has put his Surfers Paradise luxury apartment on the market for $6.6 million.

Melbourne Rebels star Quade Cooper has his home in Bulimba, Queensland, on the market in the low to mid $2m range.

A Jade apartment in Surfers Paradise has been listed by UK-based hedge funder Greg “Wizard of Oz” Coffey and wife Ania. The Coffeys paid $5.1 million for the Northcliffe Terrace holiday home in 2011. They’re now asking $6.6m. Spanning 585sq m of living space, the trophy residence has five ensuited bedrooms and an executive study across its two levels. A plunge pool and lawn front the beach with direct access to the sand. Harcourts Coastal agent Tolemy Stevens has the listing. He described it as a surplus holiday home rarely used. Coffey has been based in London for more than two decades. His registered address is a mansion in the well-heeled Chelsea district. He owns a compound in Sydney’s Mosman and Whale Beach.

Quade tries again with sale

Rugby star Quade Cooper is trying again to offload his Bulimba home. He’s now asking for offers in the low to mid $2m range, having failed last year when asking $2.65m. New agent Michael Bacon from Place Kangaroo Point Instagram-messaged Cooper to tell him he could sell the home after it had been on the market for four months with another agency. Cooper, now playing with the Melbourne Rebels, bought the 2006-built home for $1.845m in 2015 when he was with the Queensland Reds. Cooper lived in the property with his girlfriend, former Miss Universe Australia Laura Dundovic. It got a facelift in 2017 by Graya Constructions. Set on 445sq m, it has four bedrooms, three bathrooms, a pool and a marina berth on the Brisbane River.

Matt serves up tasty Noosa dish

Matt Sinclair, runner-up on MasterChef in 2016, and wife Jess areselling their redundant Noosa home, having upgraded nearby two years ago. Their former Tewantin home, which has been a $540 a week rental since their move, cost them $428,000 in 2013. They’re seeking $589,000 for the 1990s-built home. Set on 710sq m adjacent to the Noosa Golf Course and the Harry Spring Conservation Park, the home has four bedrooms, two bathrooms and an alfresco area. Hangloosa Property Noosa agents Chris Allen and Corinne Barrett have the listing. The couple upgraded in 2017, spending $599,000 on a three-bedroom home, not too far from Sum Yung Guys, a restaurant Sinclair opened with friends on Sunshine Beach.

Tootsie splashes out $6m

Siok Puay Koh, or Tootsie, the longtime partner of the late billionaire construction tycoon Len Buckeridge, has spent $6m in Mosman Park. It sits next door to the Swan River waterfront reserve home she and Buckeridge called home. The founder of BCG Construction Firm died in 2014 leaving a $2.5 billion property empire which saw some of his beneficiaries contesting the will. The family home was transferred into Tootsie’s name in 2017, then valued at $6,425,000. Tootsie now has 2070sq m after acquiring the adjoining 1970s-built, four-bedroom home on 1030sq m. Mack Hall agent Mack Hall sold the home.
