The up-side to down-sizing: Masthead Ocean Club

When it comes to downsizing, the more discerning buyers never compromise, and that is the philosophy behind Masthead Ocean Club.

With locals making up the biggest share of the Gold Coast’s downsizer market in recent years, Masthead Ocean Club has captured the imagination of those looking for more than what an idyllic Main Beach location has to offer.

“Gold Coasters are definitely taking the lead when it comes to scaling back to focus on lifestyle,” says David Highland, the CEO of Highland, the exclusive selling agent for Masthead Ocean Club.

“We’re increasingly seeing buyers selling up large family homes they have owned for years on the Gold Coast and looking to replace them with a large, luxury, low-maintenance apartment that is much closer to lifestyle conveniences and amenities,” he explains.

“Masthead Ocean Club is clearly a game-changer when it comes to meeting the demands of these buyers. This is a premium development that offers all, if not more, of the amenities and facilities they have in their current home, far exceeding those in any other building every built to date or planned on the Gold Coast.”

Located in a prime position, Masthead Ocean Club sits just a stone’s throw from Main Beach’s premier destinations such as waterways parklands, beaches, and coastline, ticking all the lifestyle aspect boxes for a downsizer.

“Northern Main Beach, where Masthead is positioned, is a quite enclave and perfect for downsizers who want access to everything but don’t want to be in the centre of the fast paced, hustle and bustle of Gold Coast living,” says Mr. Highland.

With all this at their doorstep, Masthead Ocean Club leverages its location to offer a seven-star resort experience and ultra-luxe amenities within the development itself.

“Downsizers still want a pool, gym, wine storage and the views they currently have and don’t want to compromise on space. Masthead has all of this,” he says, “when they’re home, downsizers still like to entertain or accommodate family, so they require multiple living zones and multi-purpose spaces which has all been thoughtfully introduced into every residence at Masthead.”

“They may need a home office as they may still be involved in business. Masthead has a versatile multi-purpose room perfect for a study, home office or additional living space,” he says.

Privacy and security are also an important factor to downsizers as well as the number of apartments within the building.

“Masthead only has 28 apartments, one per floor with no horizontal neighbours,” he adds.

Masthead has been further equally crafted to create a private community of individuals with similar interests, where they can enjoy the good things in life both personally and socially.

“Downsizers want to be surrounded by like-minded people,” he explains, “Masthead residents will have the opportunity to mingle and attend social events together through the partner affiliates associated with the building.”

Masthead will see the delivery of one of the world’s most elite in-house residents’ only club providing an ultra-luxe comprehensive amenities range, to be known as ‘The Ocean Club’.

With membership only accessible via a Masthead apartment purchase, the “Ocean Club” of which spans two full floors of 650m2 high in the tower will encompass premium in-home facilities including a sophisticated wine and champagne lounge, whiskey and cigar room, private dining space, coffee bar, sky high library and business meeting areas – all with spectacular panoramic ocean, coastal and Hinterland views.

Residents will have 24/7 access to a health & wellness club where they can rejuvenate in a wet edge pool, spa, steam room and sauna, while fitness enthusiasts can relish in a state-of- the-art world class gym and unwind in yoga and pilates studios.

“No other project in Australia offers residents such extensive private and secure luxury facilities but shared amongst so few people. In our case just 28 owners. This is true prestige,” says developer Rory O’Brien.

“Masthead Ocean Club’s facilities will re-shape the way residents experience their new beachside home and lifestyle.”

Members will also receive additional benefits from distinguished luxury brands including Chairman’s Club membership to Levantine Hill Winery in The Yarra Valley, participation in Newgate’s 2023 racing syndicate, which will also include attendance at select race days in Newgate’s own suite at Randwick Racecourse, and a complimentary new gleaming BMW electric car.

“Masthead has certainly been designed to offer a unique lifestyle that is enriched by a sophisticated design, amenities, and social engagement in one of the best locations on the Gold Coast,” says Mr Highland.

“It is truly one of a kind.”
