Surfing icon Mick Fanning’s breathtaking Gold Coast beach house, ‘Rolling Seas’ has sold for $16.5 million. The three-time world champion and his partner Breeana Randall placed the Bilinga property up for sale in in March, with Mick explaining that the home is now “surplus to his needs”.
Sitting on 1,030 square metres of absolute beachfront at 291 Golden Four Drive, the property is a world away from the old beach shacks that once stood on the site when Mick bought it for $3.25 million in 2011. By 2014, he had built the current home – a stunning modern retreat that seamlessly blends relaxed coastal living with practical design. Then, in 2022, it underwent a major makeover at the hands of Three Birds Renovations, the powerhouse design trio known for their dreamy, light-filled transformations.
Bonnie Hindmarsh, Lana Taylor and Erin Cayless were given “full creative control – and their trust,” according to Lana, who reflected on the project with House & Garden. The result? A serene, stylish sanctuary designed to make the most of its spectacular beachfront position, with breezy open-plan living spaces, natural textures and soft, sandy hues that echo the surrounding coastline.
The property itself is spread over three levels, offering seven bedrooms and five bathrooms, including a self-contained guesthouse – perfect for visitors or extended family. With floor-to-ceiling windows framing uninterrupted ocean views, multiple entertaining spaces and a seamless indoor-outdoor flow, ‘Rolling Seas’ is the epitome of laid-back luxury.
Mick and Breeana, who share two young children – Xander was born in 2020 and Lyla in 2024 – have loved their time in the home but are now looking ahead to the next chapter.
Despite the property being set to go under the hammer on April 24, the prime location, meticulous design and Three Birds magic saw the property get sold before it could go to Auction. According to realestate.com, the buyer was a local family who intend for the property to be their family home.
