WELCOME to our ver y first Grand Homes edition. Did you know that the Gold Coast now has 12 suburbs where the median house price exceeds $1 million? And in Brisbane that figure is 91 suburbs? Whether you live in one of these magnificent homes or aspire to do so, the images and information inside these pages is sure to ignite your imagination. For example, our cover was shot in a stunning waterfront home at Paradise Waters. With views for miles and exquisite décor throughout, this property is the epitome of ‘grand’. Of course, a house doesn’t need to be at ground level to meet the criteria. The Gold Coast is also home (pardon the pun) to some of the country’s most stunning high-rise apartment buildings, both existing and in development. We showcase several of these new projects in the Property Portfolio section including the refined Belvue Broadwater and the super-sized Chalk by the Gallery Group. And of course, the Kollosche Prestige insert is brimming with properties on the grandest scale. Moving on to the rest of the magazine. Our feature interview is with our very own Nicole Kidman.
The Aussie superstar has taken on the challenging role of Lucille Ball in the hit film, Being the Ricardos. Tipped to win an Oscar for her performance, Nicole admits she still gets nervous before each and every performance. Speaking of performances, albeit on a very different level, our motoring expert Chris Nixon got up close and personal with a monster RAM pick-up for this issue’s road test ... it is seriously big and definitely impressive. Meanwhile Marj discovered the health benefits of food synergy during a stay at Gwinganna Lifestyle Retreat, Tony uncovered some very mystical wines on Bent Road and I had a chat with Titan’s Chairman Dennis Watt who is our latest City Icon. Finally, we head to Sanctuary Cove to preview the upcoming Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show and catch up with Brooke as she spends a pamper day in the Marine Village. If you would like experience this for yourself, be sure to check out the details of our latest competition on page 26.
