A BEACH house belonging to infamous Gold Coast resident Schapelle Corby’s family has gone under contract.
The three bedroom property at 11 Foch Street, Tugun, just over half an hour from the Gold Coast, was registered to Ms Corby’s father Michael who died almost a decade ago.
An offer was made on the two bathroom, single garage property before it could be opened for inspection mid-month.
The Corbys were looking at offers over $549,000 for the property via Sandi Webber of Armstrong Real Estate on the Gold Coast. Ms Corby’s mother Rosleigh Rose was registered owner of the property in November 2008, paying $375,000. She then sold it to Ms Corby’s sister Mercedes for $360,000.
The property was listed in Michael Corby’s name on current records, and if it sells for $549,000 it will be $174,000 more than Rosleigh Rose had paid nine years ago.
Schapelle Corby is due to return to Australia within the next two months.
