Mining tycoon Gina Rinehart is hoping to make a payday with a difference by putting one of her many blocks of land up for sale at a bold $6 million markup.
Ms Rinehart’s investment company purchased the 531-square-metre Noosa site, on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast, in February 2022 for $11.2 million.

“Imagine a gently sloping 5,500-square-foot beachfront site with a 5,500-square-foot (approximate) four-story residence, stunning panoramic views of the coastline and whitewater Coral Sea, also beach access, more four rooms with private bathrooms,” the listing says.
“Other standout features include an elevator and multiple indoor and outdoor living areas.”
The Sunshine Coast block is being marketed using concept plans for a four-story beachside mansion.
The site was acquired by Mr. Vandersteen for just over $7 million in late 2020 during a pandemic-led boom in “lifestyle” real estate.
Although there has been a cooling off period of late, largely as a result of rising interest rates, Noosa has been the epicenter of the real estate scramble for expensive properties.
The region had six of the 10 most expensive sales of ‘recreational’ real estate in 2022, with the highest price being the eye-popping $28.5 million paid for a 6,500-square-foot mansion on a 6,500-square-foot oceanfront block also in Sunshine. Beach.
