A $40 million luxury apartment project at the Gold Coast’s exclusive Hope Island Resort has tapped into the rarity of new golf course apartment product in market, securing more than $28 million in sales in its boutique Sage residences.
Some 14 of the 21 apartments in GH Properties’ residential project, adjacent to Links Golf & Wellbeing within Hope Island Resort, have sold at an average price of more than $2 million.
The project is receiving its finishing touches, with its unveiling just weeks away.
Sage at Links comprises large two-bedroom apartments in absolute waterfront positions from $1.63 million and three-bedroom apartments from $1.96 million. Every three-bedroom residence features a north–south dual-aspect layout for natural light and cross-ventilation.
The two configurations cater to distinct buyer profiles. The large two-bedroom apartments offer absolute waterfront living in a lower-maintenance format, while the three-bedroom residences provide additional space and a dual-aspect plan suited to the subtropical climate, drawing in northern light while allowing breezes to move through the home.
"Sage has resonated strongly with buyers looking for a boutique, north-facing waterfront address inside an established resort," said Ellen Guan, Managing Director, GH Properties which owns Links Golf & Wellbeing.
"Product of this calibre rarely comes to market, especially within a gated golf and resort community and this has tapped into a strong downsizer market of buyers who want to safety and security of a resort community.
Sales Consultant Tony Hymus said the boutique nature of Sage had attracted strong interest from luxury downsizers.
“The fact that there are only 21 apartments has been a big drawcard for buyers,” he said.
“With completion in sight we don’t expect the remaining apartments to be on the market for too long.”
Positioned beside the Links Clubhouse within Hope Island Resort, every Sage apartment is north-facing and waterfront, with views across the canal and golf course.
Each apartment includes two car parking spaces, a dedicated golf buggy space and an allocated storage area in the car park, with pathways connecting residents directly to the resort. Inclusions feature stone benchtops, designer appliances and butler’s pantries, supported by 24-hour security and CCTV.
Generous balconies extend the living spaces outdoors, spanning 14 metres across the large two-bedroom apartments and 10 metres across all other apartments.
A lift at each end of the building provides convenient access to residences while enhancing privacy.
Residents have access to the resort's championship golf course, 25-metre pool, Champions Day Spa, wellness programs and dining at Sol Café and Bar and The Fountain Court.
Sanctuary Cove and Hope Harbour Marina are under 10 minutes away, Surfers Paradise 30 minutes, and Gold Coast Airport 45 minutes.
Sage at Links is the latest stage of GH Properties' long-term investment at Hope Island Resort, following the completed Gallery precinct and Saffron at Links. The developer brings 30 years of mixed-use experience, with assets including Noosa Springs Golf & Spa Resort on the Sunshine Coast and Park Sydney in Erskineville.
"Our focus from day one was to create a small, considered community where every apartment enjoys the same north-facing waterfront outlook," Mr Hymus said.
"Its position beside the Links Clubhouse, with buggy access straight onto the course, makes Sage one of the most connected addresses in the resort."
