Yeronga mega-estate smashes suburb record in secret multi-million dollar deal

A riverfront mega-estate has changed hands in a hushed deal that smashed the suburb record for Brisbane's blue-chip Yeronga.

While the exact price and buyer details remain under wraps, the transaction is understood to be the city's third-highest residential sale of 2026 to date.

The blockbuster deal sits only behind the landmark Teneriffe House, which sold for around $18.5m, and a prestige property on Kangaroo Point's Scott St that fetched $14.75m.

The landmark property at 51 Stevens St attracted five formal offers, including one from a high-profile international billionaire, before being locked away at 9pm on a weeknight.

Marketing agent Heath Williams, of Place New Farm, said a local family secured the keys following a surprise inspection by the global heavyweight who was ultimately hampered by logistics.

“He saw it once, but being based overseas, it ultimately came down to timing and process,” Mr Williams said.

The hush-hush result easily eclipsed Yeronga's previous $9m house price benchmark, set in 2023 for the heritage-listed 'Rhyndarra' estate.

The property's sheer scale drove the intense competition. Set across a mammoth 7,326 sqm of elevated riverfront land just 5.5km from the CBD, the trophy home has six bedrooms, six bathrooms, basement garaging for five cars, and more than 50m of direct water frontage.

Features include an 18m pool, full-size flood-lit tennis court, 9m pontoon and boat ramp, 600-bottle insulated wine room, a gym, sauna, and a self-contained au pair studio.
