Lleyton and Bec Hewitt have sold their Burleigh Heads beach pad just three years after purchasing the dream property.
The Queensland property, which was originally designed and owned by JSW Landscape and Design founder Jay Walker, went viral in 2020 for its enviable beachside location and indoor-outdoor living design.
The online attention brought more than 500 people to the auction with the successful buyer purchasing the property for $3.75 million. However, after just one month of living there, the buyer sold the property to the Hewitts, who snapped it up for $4.305 million in 2021.
The couple decided to move on from their Palm Springs style oasis in October 2024, when it was listed for $5.1 million. According to Queensland Sotheby’s International Realty agent Carol Carter, who led the property’s sale, there was plenty of interest in the luxury home.
“We have had a massive number of inquiries from interstate, a lot out of Sydney and Melbourne, and there has been quite a lot of local interest,” she told realestate.com.au.
By January 2025, the property has officially secured a buyer, selling for $200,000 under the listing price at $4.9 million, according to realestate.com.au.

Located on Deodar Drive, just 400 metres from the beach on the Gold Coast, the property’s beachside location is one of the property’s biggest drawcards but according to the property’s realty agent, Carol Carter, the Hewitts simply didn’t have the time to make the most of it.
With dramatic cavity glass stacker doors and bi-folds, the home’s effortless indoor-outdoor living design makes the most of the location’s sunny weather and is ideal for both everyday family living and entertaining.
At the heart of the home, a modern kitchen seamlessly connects to the outdoors. With three ovens, stone bench tops, an integrated fridge and freezer, butler’s pantry, two wine fridges and a wine cellar, it’s the perfect entertaining space.
The open-plan living and dining also open onto the garden and cosy flute fire place for the few colder months of the year.
There’s also three ensuite bedrooms, including a main bedroom with built-in seating and a dressing room, as well as a ground floor bedroom, office and powder room.
While the interior’s Santorini Clay stone feature walls and American Oak timber floors are certainly part of the home’s architectural attraction, there’s no competing with the property’s outdoor space with it’s glass-edged pool and glamorous sunken fireplace.
