View Results Latest Draw 417Ask anyone what they’d look for in the perfect home and chances are a view of the water is going to come up. You can change just about anything except location, and the best ones always seem to look out onto an expanse of blue. The latest draw from the RSL Art Union Prize Home Lottery offers you the choice of two magnificent properties, and both provide panoramic views of some pretty impressive waterfront.
The first option for one lucky winner is an executive apartment in Blues Point Tower, a heritage listed property with unparalleled views of Sydney Harbour. From the 24th floor, you’ll be able to see the city from above in a three-bedroom home that’s packed with luxurious features. Located next to the Henry Lawson Reserve, the apartment is perfectly positioned to give you easy access to all the best of the city.

You have a 1: chance of winning!
Check TicketsThe second option is a five-bedroom home on the Gold Coast. Living in Broadbeach Waters, you’ll be on the doorstep of some off the best beaches in the country and minutes from Surfers Paradise. The rear of the property backs onto the calm waters of the Gold Coast waterways that can take you in mere minutes to Southport, Main Beach and deeper waters beyond. With your own private pontoon and $555,000 in gold bullion at your disposal, getting a boat to tour the neighbourhood is well within reach.
Whether you want to live in the heart of the city or are looking for the ultimate beach lifestyle, this is a draw you won’t want to miss.
Many of the residences you’ll find in home lotteries are new builds, but this one comes with a long and controversial history. The story of Blues Point Tower begins after the Second World War, when the area around Berrys and Lavender Bays was zoned for industrial development. North Sydney Council wasn’t happy about having more timber yards and factories along the waterfront, so they invited architects to come up with a plan for residential development instead. Harry Seidler’s blueprint originally included eight towers and dozens of smaller blocks of flats and maisonettes. Ultimately, only one tower was built. When it was completed in 1962, Blues Point Tower was the tallest apartment building in the country.
Unfortunately, many people also complained it was the ugliest. The modernist architecture received widespread criticism and led to heated debate about the demolition of Victorian houses to make room for new development. Blues Point Tower became the symbol of what the locals didn’t want. Some even called for its demolition, even though the 146 apartments provided affordable housing for singles, young married couples, and retirees.
Fast-forward 50 years and the apartment building has become one of the city’s premier addresses. 1n 1993, Blues Point Tower was added to the local heritage register and the apartments are in hot demand. The property value for the prize apartment located on the 24th floor is valued at $2,240,000 and you can expect that number to just keep rising.
One of the top reasons for the location’s popularity is its proximity to downtown Sydney. Central station is only 8 km away and in-between you’ll find an endless array of gourmet restaurants, markets, world-class shopping and entertainment venues. If you want to experience the joys of urban living, there’s no better way to start than from a millionaire’s perch at the summit of Blues Point Tower.
Blues Point Tower has 25 floors and the prize home is located on level 24. Every room has spectacular views of the city and the two French balconies with floor to ceiling glass doors provide space to take it all in. The interior design heightens the natural light and features pear-green accents against a predominantly white palate.
Because the apartment was constructed before ensuites became de rigueur, you’ll find the main bathroom located alongside the master rather than within it. There’s also a second full bath to service the two additional bedrooms, one of which has a walk-in robe. The galley-style kitchen opens onto an integrated living and dining area, all of which is furnished and equipped with a generous design package.
Quite apart from the breathtaking views, this apartment is the high-water mark in luxurious urban living. Every room is perfectly appointed for comfort, style, and easy-living.
The second option in draw 358 is a 5-bedroom home on the Gold Coast waterways that’s made for entertaining. You’ll probably be happy you have so many rooms because there will be no end of friends and family who’ll want to come and stay in your coastal getaway.
Broadbeach Waters lies just inland from the bustle of Broadbeach and offers a slightly different experience to those looking for a peaceful retreat. You’re still minutes from some of the best beaches in the country but nestled in the calm waters of the coast’s canal system. The community boasts tons of bike baths and scenic walks, and if you take to the water you can go for miles along the inland waterways. Whether by kayak, canoe or motorised craft, your next adventure begins in your own back yard.
Cascade Gardens is sure to become a favourite picnic spot, with its massive playground, rotunda and scenic rainforest walks. There are also numerous parks in the neighbourhood and several cafes, restaurants and bakeries to tempt you inside. If you feel like wandering further afield, Surfers Paradise is only ten minutes up the road. That’s where you can begin to explore all those attractions that bring tourists from around the world to this very special part of Australia. Heading inland, you’ll come to Lamington National Park where a walk through the hinterland will remind you of how lucky you are to live this close to acres of majestic tropical wilderness.
Then there’s all the other familiar pastimes that come with living on the Gold Coast. Surfing, swimming, sailing, fishing, or just throwing your towel down on the beach and watching the world go by. If you’re a golfer, you likely already know about the many world-class championship courses on the Gold Coast and you’ll be able to play a different one every day of the week.
This option also comes with $555,000 in gold bullion which could be a real gamechanger if you want to retire early or live debt-free. You could tie a boat up to that pontoon and there’s even room to stow your caravan out front. Imagine coming home for a dip in the pool after a day of power-shopping or leisurely sightseeing. With this one, anything’s possible!

The al fresco has a dedicated lounge area along with a BBQ and table seating for eight. It adjoins the pool which also has lounge and reclined seating around the tiled perimeter. The landscaped back lawn slopes down to the water and that’s where you’ll find your L-shaped pontoon.
Inside, you’ve got five large bedrooms to accommodate family and guests, one of which has been converted to a home study. The master bedroom has floor-to-ceiling views of the pool and a sumptuous ensuite. There’s also an ensuite off the second bedroom and there will never be a queue for the facilities with another full bathroom, a powder room off the dining area, and one next to the laundry.
The kitchen in this home is particularly appealing, with a full breakfast bar and separate pantry. The marbled countertops mirror the grey accents you’ll find throughout the home, and all appliances are low-profile and top-of-the-line including a gas cooker, double-fridge and multiple small appliances.

From front to back, it’s been styled with a $145,012 design package that features both vivid prints and textured solids.

The home is located at 3 Nootka Court, Broadbeach Waters, QLD 4218. That’s about an hour’s drive from Brisbane and just 5 kilometres from Surfers Paradise.
Unfortunately, the Blues Point Tower apartment won’t be open to the public prior to the draw. If you’re visiting Sydney, however, it’s not hard to spot. McMahons Point is in North Sydney, about 8 kilometres from the CBD. Ask any local and they’ll probably be able to point out the Blues Point Tower. It’s the only tall building on the point and one of the most infamous landmarks in that part of the city. The address is 144/14-28 Blues Point Road and the prize home is on the 24th floor.
The first decision you’ll need to make if you’re the lucky winner in draw 358 is whether to choose the apartment in Sydney or the home in Broadbeach Waters. That won’t be easy given that one offers you an exclusive property in one of Sydney’s most notorious and sought-after buildings, while the other offers a relaxed lifestyle and over half a million dollars in gold bullion. You’ll have ten days to make your pick, and once that’s over with, you still have to decide what to do with your windfall.
If you’re all set to relocate to either Sydney or the Gold Coast, the RSL makes the transition dead easy. Both homes are fully furnished, and all the transfer and legal fees are included, along with the first year of rates. You’ll even have a travel voucher that you can use to scout everything out before you move. Just pack up and head off to whichever home best suits your needs.
Given their prime locations, both of these homes also provide an excellent investment opportunity. By renting out your prize home, you’ll receive a second income as you sit back and watch property values rise. If you choose to sell a few years from now, you’re likely to receive an even greater return – or you could move into the home yourself once you’re ready to take the plunge. It’s estimated that both the apartment and family home would return about $62,400 a year in rental income, which will more than pay for their yearly maintenance (and a few annual splurges) as your investment grows.
Putting your home on the market will make you an instant millionaire. The property value of the apartment in Sydney is over $2 million and you’ve probably got plenty of ideas of what you could do with that kind of money. The home in Broadbeach Waters is worth about $1.7 million, but then you’ve also got the added $550,000 in gold bullion to think about. If you decide to cash in, either option will probably net you about the same overall return on your win, and the market is strong in both locations.
No matter what you decide to do, winning this draw is all about having the freedom to choose – and with so much cash in play, your options are limited only by your imagination.
