Ex-Socceroo Craig Moore sells Gold Coast home

The Gold Coast home of international footballer Craig Moore has been sold for $1.9 million.

It's the property he built on Hope Island. The 1,006-square-metre property, which has direct access to the broadwater, has a pontoon for a large boat.

It also features a games room with a built-in bar, an outdoor kitchen and 12-metre pool with a spa.

The house was sold to a Gold Coast couple who have lived in the Hope Island area previously and wanted to move back there from The Sovereign Islands.

Moore captained Australia’s Olympic soccer team in 2004 and played with the Socceroos in the 2006 and 2010 World Cups.

His five-bedroom waterfront home had been tipped by its McGrath listing agent Philip Chillemi to sell for between $1.6 to $2 million.

Chillemi said there was wide interest in the house, with potential buyers from both interstate and overseas.

After about 50 people went through the house during open for inspections, there were four bidders at the auction.
