A glorious Gold Coast mansion that once hosted Hollywood stars like Nicole Kidman and Johnny Depp has been snapped up by Aussie influencer Troy ‘Candy’ Williams.
Situated at Hope Island, 24kms from the CBD, the gated estate boasts five bedrooms and seven bathrooms and features a gym, cinema and a two hole putting green.
Williams, 33, and his girlfriend Anita Cassin spent an eye-watering $4.65 million on the prestige waterfront pad after splashing a mere $1.64 million on their last mansion, reports The Courier Mail.
Known as ‘Solaris’, Williams’ new purchase is built at the end of a private road and is surrounded by manicured gardens and flanked by two golf courses.
Designed like a 5-star resort highlights include a grand ‘hotel’ style three storey entrance lobby and a tiled in-ground pool.
There’s also a sauna and spa, mineral pool, games room, a ‘man cave’ and a garage big enough to accommodate five vehicles.
For security the mansion boasts a 45m front wall and for added privacy rows of 12metre high hedges cover the property perimeter.
Re-modelled by well-known architects Raunik Design the mansion also boasts design like a ‘cascading’ spiral staircase, Italian feature tiles, solid stone bathrooms and Calcutta glass.
Other highlights include a wine cellar and home office.
According to the report the home is known to have ‘hosted’ Australian Hollywood great Nicole Kidman, heiress Paris Hilton, actor Sean Penn and music stars Adele, Pink and Dave Grohl.
Troy has been dubbed Candyman 2.0 by his followers, and frequently poses with gorgeous women and luxury sports cars on social media.
Candyman is the moniker of Australian tobacco tycoon Travers Luke Beynon, known for his lavish lifestyle.
It comes after notorious Block bidder Adrian ‘Mr Lambo’ Portelli snapped up Williams’ last Gold Coast pad last year.
The five-bedroom, four-bathroom home was listed on the market for $2.8 million to $3 million, but the exact sale price remains undisclosed.
Williams and partner Anita, who have a two-year-old son called Saint, paid just $1.64 million for the then new home in 2021.
