Real Estate FROM COAST TO COUNTRY

SCARCITY DRIVING NEW DEMAND FOR BEACHFRONT LIVING

THE NORTHERN Rivers and Southern Gold Coast luxury property market continues to demonstrate remarkable resilience, with demand for premium beachfront homes reaching unprecedented levels as affluent buyers increasingly prioritise lifestyle, location and long-term scarcity. Recent months have seen a noticeable shift in buyer behaviour, particularly among discerning purchasers seeking irreplaceable coastal positions. While broader market conditions continue to fluctuate across various sectors, the top end of the beachfront market has remained exceptionally competitive, driven by a limited supply of absolute beachfront opportunities and growing recognition of their long-term value. This trend has been highlighted by a significant record sale achieved by local agent Nick Witheriff of Witheriff Group on prestigious Cylinders Drive, Kingscliff. The transaction has further reinforced the strength of buyer demand for premium coastal property and signals the growing appetite for tightly held beachfront addresses along the Tweed Coast. Along this stretch of coastline, opportunities to secure new beachfront residences remain exceptionally limited.

Strict planning controls, finite land availability and a mature beachfront environment have created a level of scarcity that is becoming increasingly difficult to replicate in modern developments. According to Matt Nielsen from Maddison Rd, luxury buyers are increasingly focused on lifestyle fundamentals that cannot be replicated. Absolute beachfront positions, easy beach access, and walkable village amenities continue to rank among the most sought-after attributes in the Australian property market. It is against this backdrop that Palmira, a boutique collection of three absolute beachfront residences on Cylinders Drive, Kingscliff, has recently reached completion. Designed to maximise both privacy and ocean outlooks, the project represents one of the few newly completed luxury beachfront offerings delivered to the market in recent years. Palmira comprises just three architecturally designed residences, each featuring full concrete construction, private lift access and expansive rooftop entertaining spaces overlooking the Pacific Ocean. The completed homes span between approximately 354sqm and 415sqm,

reflecting a growing preference among luxury buyers for larger-format coastal residences that provide flexibility for permanent living, extended family stays and multi-generational use. Newly completed residences offering immediate occupancy have attracted heightened attention, particularly among downsizers and lifestyle-focused families seeking a permanent coastal base. Purchasers relocating from Sydney, Gold Coast and Brisbane have become increasingly aware that premium beachfront property is not only finite but often unavailable for extended periods. One such opportunity will soon be presented to the market, with Villa B at Palmira scheduled for auction on June 18.

Paul Anthony Lomas 05/06/2026

The 415m2 residence occupies a prized position within the development and features four bedrooms, four bathrooms, multiple living zones, private lift access and a rooftop entertaining terrace capturing uninterrupted ocean views. Construction has now been completed, allowing buyers the rare opportunity to inspect and immediately experience the finished product prior to auction. For many buyers, the decision is no longer simply about purchasing a home. It is about securing a position within a lifestyle destination that offers a combination of natural beauty, convenience and scarcity that is becoming increasingly difficult to find elsewhere. As demand for premium beachfront property continues to strengthen, developments such as Palmira serve as a reminder that genuine beachfront opportunities remain among the most tightly held assets in Australian real estate. For those who understand the appeal of waking to the sound of the ocean and stepping onto the sand, opportunities like Palmira are increasingly viewed not simply as property purchases, but as long-term lifestyle investments in one of Australia's most coveted stretches of coastline.

Hot property

By Jo Kennett

OUR AGENT of the Week is Gillian Dawson who is a licensed property consultant and stock and station agent with RBR Property Consultants, who is a smart and savvy agent in the fastpaced world of real estate. With more than 12 years of experience, Gillian has built a reputation as a highly accomplished property professional, combining market expertise with exceptional negotiation skills to secure outstanding results. Known for her professionalism, persistence and energy, she delivers honest advice, strategic marketing and strong communication, ensuring vendors achieve the best possible outcomes. We caught up with Gillian to find out more. BEFORE YOU WERE A REAL ESTATE AGENT, WHAT WAS THE MOST INTERESTING JOB YOU HAD? Before real estate, I worked in a professional customer-focused role where I learned the importance of communication, negotiation and building relationships. Those skills have been invaluable in my real

WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO GO INTO REAL ESTATE? I saw real estate as an opportunity to provide for my family and give flexibility while raising my sons. I was also inspired to be able to make a positive impact on people’s lives by assisting them during some of the biggest decisions of their lives. WHAT ARE THE BIGGEST CHALLENGES AND THE BEST THINGS ABOUT YOUR JOB? The biggest challenge is managing the emotions that come with buying and selling property. The best part is helping clients achieve great results and seeing their excitement when they reach their goals. WHO ARE YOU SEEING BUYING PROPERTIES AT THE MOMENT AND WHERE ARE THEY MOSTLY COMING FROM? We’re seeing a mix of local buyers, interstate buyers from Sydney and Melbourne, and a growing number of people relocating from South East Queensland looking for lifestyle, value and space.

WHAT’S THE BIGGEST CHANGE YOU’VE SEEN ACROSS THE MARKET IN THE PAST YEAR? Buyers have become more informed and selective. Wellpresented homes priced correctly are still attracting strong interest, while buyers are taking more time to make decisions. WHAT IS YOUR BEST ADVICE TO PEOPLE THINKING OF PUTTING THEIR PROPERTY ON THE MARKET? Preparation is everything. Present your home at its absolute best, seek professional advice early, and have a clear strategy before launching to the market. HOW CAN PEOPLE GET A FOOT ON THE PROPERTY LADDER? Start with a realistic budget, explore government assistance schemes, and focus on getting into the market rather than waiting for the perfect property. Look at getting into the market with a family member or friend. Buy a property you can add value to. Your first home doesn’t have to be your forever home.
