Mulpha offers waterfront, marina-view and parkside land options at Sanctuary Cove

Mulpha is offering buyers a varied selection of residential land at Sanctuary Cove, with waterfront, marina-facing and centrally positioned lots providing different ways to build within the established northern Gold Coast community.
The current land offering ranges from approximately 529 sqm to 982 sqm, with opportunities including waterfront parcels with direct access to the surrounding waterways, marina-view sites and central lots suited to generously proportioned homes. One final golf-fronting lot is also available.
It gives buyers an increasingly uncommon proposition on the Gold Coast: the opportunity to design and build a new home within an established, gated masterplanned community.
About Sanctuary Cove Land
Selected waterfront lots offer mooring capabilities and direct access to the surrounding Gold Coast waterways, allowing a new home to be designed around both the site and its connection to the water. Sanctuary Cove itself is arranged around four sheltered man-made harbours, connecting residents to the Broadwater and onwards to the Pacific Ocean.
The variety extends beyond the water's edge. Marina-view and central sites provide alternatives for buyers who want to be part of the Sanctuary Cove environment without necessarily requiring direct waterfront frontage, while the remaining golf-fronting opportunity provides another position within the estate.
Land forms part of a broader residential offering at Sanctuary Cove. Buyers can also consider the final release of three and four-bedroom Horizon homes by Mulpha, Harbour One's collection of garden villas and apartments, while new golf-fronting house and land packages are also planned.
The breadth of housing is significant given Sanctuary Cove is already a mature 474-hectare community rather than a new estate still waiting for its amenity to arrive. Developed by Mulpha, Sanctuary Cove was recognised as Australia's Best Masterplanned Development by the Urban Development Institute of Australia in 2018 and combines residential neighbourhoods with golf, boating, retail, dining, recreation and accommodation.
Much of everyday life within the community centres on the Marine Village, where residents can access restaurants, cafés, specialty shopping and essential services. A supermarket, medical centre, pharmacy, post office and dental clinic are among the services within the precinct.
Residents can also move around much of Sanctuary Cove by golf buggy, connecting homes with the Village and the community's recreational facilities.
Golf remains one of the estate's defining features, with two 18-hole championship courses, while the Sanctuary Cove Country Club incorporates a gym, swimming pool, tennis courts, yoga and reformer Pilates facilities overlooking The Palms golf course. The five-star InterContinental Sanctuary Cove Resort adds another layer to the established resort environment.
For boating buyers, Sanctuary Cove Marina further differentiates the community. The marina has 481 berths accommodating vessels ranging from jet skis through to superyachts of up to 150 feet, supported by berthing assistance, maintenance services and a dedicated fuel dock. It holds 5 Gold Anchor Platinum Marina, Superyacht Ready Marina and Level 3 Clean Marina accreditation.
That boating infrastructure is supported by the community's location on the Coomera River. From Sanctuary Cove's four harbours, residents have direct water access towards the Broadwater, with South Stradbroke Island, Wavebreak Island and Moreton Bay among the boating destinations accessible from the area.
Despite its resort setting, Sanctuary Cove remains connected to the wider Gold Coast. The community is around 20 minutes from the Gold Coast's beaches and approximately 40 minutes from Queensland's major airports. Twenty-four-hour land and water security operates across the estate.
Builders in the Gold Coast Region
While Sanctuary Cove's own house and land offerings are delivered directly by Mulpha through Horizon Homes and Harbour One, a range of independent builders are active across the broader Gold Coast and South East Queensland region, giving buyers additional choice beyond the estate itself.
Amali Homes
Amali Homes operates as a boutique, builder-led custom home business across the Gold Coast, Brisbane and Toowoomba.
The company restricts the number of builds it accepts each year, with builder Ivan McRobb personally overseeing each project from initial design through to handover.
Amali's process follows a seven-step client journey covering design, tender, selections, contract drawings, contract signing, construction and handover, with an emphasis on direct communication and transparent, written guarantees rather than site managers acting as intermediaries.
Hallmark Homes
Hallmark Homes is a family-owned home builder based in South East Queensland with more than 40 years in business and over 12,000 homes built.
The company builds around 400 homes annually across the Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Lockyer Valley, Brisbane and Redland Bay, offering design ranges including Luma, Nest and Eden, the latter geared toward acreage blocks.
Hallmark positions itself around straightforward communication and value-driven pricing, backed by a Builders Statutory Warranty and a 12-month maintenance period following handover.
Burbank Homes
Burbank has been building homes and developing neighbourhoods since 1983, growing from its origins in Melbourne's west into a national builder operating across Victoria, Queensland, New South Wales, the ACT and South Australia.
In Queensland specifically, Burbank has operated since 2012. The company is backed by the wider Burbank Group, which spans land development, design, construction, finance, plumbing and electrical services, and offers a broad range of single and double-storey designs across the region.
Plantation Homes
Plantation Homes is part of the Henley Properties Group, founded in 1989 with a focus on making homeownership more accessible for Australian families.
The company is backed by the Sumitomo Forestry Group and has built more than 60,000 homes across Victoria, Queensland, New South Wales and South Australia under the Henley Homes, Plantation Homes and Edgewater Homes brands.
Plantation's offering spans house and land packages, knockdown rebuilds and acreage homes, with a stated focus on transparent pricing, sustainability and energy efficiency, including a 50-year structural guarantee.
Homes by CMA
Homes by CMA was founded in 2009 by Chris, Aleksandra and Mario, and has grown into a family-owned business with more than 45 full-time staff and over 160 subcontractors, delivering more than 2,000 homes since founding.
The company builds across South East Queensland, including the Sunshine Coast, Gold Coast, Brisbane, Ipswich and Moreton Bay, with a stated focus on making luxury design accessible through single-storey, double-storey and acreage home ranges, along with a custom building service.
Bottom line
For buyers considering land, the combination means the decision is not simply between different lot sizes. Waterfront access, marina outlooks, parkland and golf-oriented positions provide different starting points for a custom home, while the surrounding amenity is already established and operating.
Mulpha has more than 30 years of real estate development experience, with its portfolio including masterplanned communities such as Norwest, Mulgoa Rise and Sanctuary Cove, alongside Hayman Island.
