Featuring 20 meters of water frontage, the property is nestled within a gated community offering 24-hour security.

Property records indicate that the vendors purchased two adjacent 1000-square-meter blocks on Virginia Drive in 2010, each for $1 million. They developed a residence on No. 2614 and a tennis court on No. 2613. Fourteen years later, they opted to sell the tennis court.

According to Ms. Jiang, buyers are willing to pay a premium for land in Sanctuary Cove and Hope Island Resort due to the area’s prestige and the limited availability of vacant blocks.

The purchasers of the tennis court are Gold Coast locals who intend to construct a home on the property, recognizing it as the premier street within the resort.

Hope Island Resort offers its residents a superlative Queensland lifestyle, boasting shops, restaurants, and golf courses.
