This home at 7 Turnberry Ct, Robina, has sold for $3m – a dry block record for the suburb.
Fitness influencers Jarrah Martin and Courtney McConnell have paid $3m for a home made entirely of cement.
‘Sunset Cove’ on the Gold Coast was set to go under the hammer this weekend, but the buyers were among more than 90 groups to inspect the unique home on the first open — making an offer the owner couldn’t refuse.
Renderer Matt Mannion of Sunny Days Developments completely transformed the 1980s-built home at 7 Turnberry Court, Robina, using $1.2m worth of microcement covering walls, floors, ceilings and even custom-built furniture.

Mr Mannion bought the home for $1.44m in July last year and, with a team of tradies, spent at least 12,000 hours hand-trowelling more than 2500 sq m of finely coated concrete to create a seamless, modern look.
“We negotiated a deal to a cashed-up buyer who is none other than fitness influencers Jarrah and Courtney Martin,” Mr Mannion said.
“Known for their bold style, strong online presence, and of course, their unmistakeable yellow Lamborghini and the way they are changing people’s lives.”

Mr Mannion said the sale set a new dry-block record for Robina and was the fourth biggest in the suburb ever.
“And rightly so,” he said. “I built that place to last and put every energy into it. It wasn’t just a coat of paint and calling it luxury.
“This is a statement of not only the quality of the market on the Gold Coast, but the desire to see beautiful, different builds. Ones that push the boundaries — and it doesn’t have to be on the water at Mermaid to be exceptional.”
The property has two master bedrooms, with the king located behind a hidden door.

The six-bedroom, three-bathroom home was marketed by Ray White Malan + Co agent, Ricky Agent and was scheduled for auction on September 12.
“New suburb record, you’ve to be happy with that,” Mr Agent said.
“In all seriousness, Sunset Cove is in a league, and a market of its own and that’s why it commanded so much attention. In the end, we only had to hold one open home and had 90 groups through – that’s unheard of.”

The property also features three bars, which will be fully-stocked for the new owners with 60 bottles of Mortimer Wines, Burleigh Brewing beer, and 18 bottles of Sunny Days Vodka.
The home on an 883 sqm block has a kitchen with a rendered island bench and Smeg appliances, two media rooms, and a fully equipped gym with a massage chair and infrared sauna.
A hidden door opens into a double master bedroom with built-in king bed niches, Venetian plaster bedheads, and rendered ensuites.
