Mandalay Coral Gardens sold

Mandalay Coral Gardens, the impressive 4749 sq m Airlie Beach waterfront in tropical north Queensland, has been sold after being listed with $10 million hopes.

It was built for the Whitsunday developer Bill Sharpe and his wife Kirsty.

It won the Australian Master Builders Association house of the year award for 2007-08.

The Sharpes started building residential property at Airlie Beach in 1994 and took four years to complete it.

The four-bedroom main building has two levels with sliding glass walls, huge outdoor terraces and a marina berth.

A 40-metre infinity-edge pool wraps around three sides of the house and has a swim-up wet bar.

Informal living areas extend to a private beach with a teppanyaki pavilion.

Ken Jacobs of Christie's Great Estates had the listing in with Robert Taylor of PRDNationwide Whitsunday.
