"Working with Jamie and Michael and the Kollosche team on the sale of our home was an outstanding experience. Our property had many unique details and required a number of private inspections, but nothing was ever too difficult. They were always available when needed and handled every aspect with professionalism and care.

What truly set them apart was their deep knowledge of the market and their openness in sharing feedback, reports, and advice - which reassured us we were in the best hands. They partnered with us to craft a strong, tailored marketing campaign and ensured we were involved in every decision along the way.

Thanks to their broad reach and respected reputation in the community, they brought in buyers who hadn't even been actively looking - people who wouldn't have considered purchasing until they saw our home. That level of influence made a real difference.

We couldn't recommend Jamie and Michael more highly. Their dedication, insight, and results speak for themselves. – Seller

The One and Only PALA – Australia's House of the Year

Crowned the best house on the Gold Coast, in Queensland and ultimately Australia in 2024, PALA is an architectural and engineering triumph that redefines luxury waterfront living. A collaboration between prestige builder Havendeen Projects and architect Joe Snell, this landmark residence offers a masterclass in bold design, cutting-edge construction, and meticulous craftsmanship.

Occupying a prime north-east point on Lake Wonderland with ocean access, PALA captures panoramic views across a 46m water frontage. Four incredible levels deliver 1,164m²* of luxury internal living and extensive outdoor recreation across the 1113m2 site. Built to last, a formidable main structure comprises three suspended concrete slabs, precast vertical panels, and structural steel pergolas.

Upon entry, a show garage, gallery-style walls and polished white concrete invite the owner to inject their own sense of style and flair. Dramatic voids lend drama and light to the main living, kitchen and dining zone, warmed come winter by a real wood fireplace. A designer kitchen with Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances flows into a butler's pantry for concealed prep, while a second living area provides a relaxed retreat with a built-in workspace.

Designed for those who love to entertain, commercial-grade glass doors slide back for seamless access to the home's resort-style pool, sunken fire pit, and BBQ pavilion. Select your favourite drop from the wine cellar or mix a cocktail in the rooftop bar where 360-degree views unfold.

The second level is a private sanctuary with four ensuite bedrooms 5th (Ground floor) featuring heated floors, custom joinery, and coveted outlooks. The master suite enjoys spectacular water views, an enviable dressing room and an ensuite boasting a black stone bath, limestone vanity and lush greenery.

A lift connects all four levels from the underground basement, where 324m² houses five cars, a golf simulator, and a bar. Water toys can be stored on a 15-metre pontoon with jet ski dock, encouraging weekends on the water with passage all the way to Main River. Smart home automation caps off the luxury inclusions with lighting, climate, security, audio, and blinds controlled with the touch of a finger.

An architectural showpiece of unparalleled scale and significance, PALA is a rare opportunity to own one of Queensland's most celebrated homes.
