With every intention to cash in on Australiaโs property market reaching all-new highs, the Rich Lister Tartak family is selling โone of the countryโs finest waterfront residences,โ nestled within a secluded corner of The Whitsundays. This is the Mandalay House, and should you decide itโs the place to be, prepare to fork out $20 million.
Constructed over the course of almost four years with no expense spared โ weโve yet to encounter a mega mansion which was built with expense spared, but I digress โ the Mediterranean-style, Airlie Beach abode was initially commissioned by property developer Neil Murray (not to be mistaken with Australiaโs other Neil Murray), and his wife Denise Murray.
With sweeping Coral Sea views to its front and a national park to its back, taking the surrounding geography into consideration, the Murrays had the foresight to not only request a marina, jet ski bays, and a boat shed โ but also a private helipad for when the occasion calls for a quick fly-in-fly-out.

Situated upon a sprawling 4,242-square metre slice of paradise while offering 2,649 square metres of actual living space, Mandalay House is evidently a place where youโll feel more inclined to spend time outside, as opposed to inside. And thatโs not just crack about the decor, either (not everyoneโs cup of tea, sureโฆ but who am I to yuck someoneโs yum?).
Making full use of its northwestern position, thereโs an almost seamless transition between natural and built environment, exterior and interior, largely owed to the garden + terrace + resort-like horizon pool combination. โInvitingโ is a phrase which comes to mind, and itโd be more than understandable for one to let all ambitions, aggression, worries, etc. wash away in the crystalline waters pictured below.
Hereโs everything else you can expect:
- 7 bedrooms (6 king-sized, one lavish master retreat)
- 9 bathrooms
- Expansive living & sitting areas
- Gourmet kitchen w/ Miele appliances, marble finishes, cold room, butlerโs pantry
- Outdoor kitchen
- Climate-controlled cellar + tasting room
