For those envisioning a property in Australia—whether as a sound investment, a vacation retreat, or a future retirement haven—two standout locations offer compelling opportunities within a budget of 5 to 7 million RMB: the sun-drenched Gold Coast and the vibrant metropolis of Sydney.
Sanctuary Cove, Gold Coast: Luxury Waterfront Living
Ranked among the world’s eight most prestigious bayfront enclaves, Sanctuary Cove epitomizes upscale coastal living. This exclusive community boasts sprawling villas with shared access to championship golf courses and private marinas, catering to a discerning clientele.
- Current listing: Villa with 500 sqm of freehold land
- Starting price: 6.59 million RMB (~¥20,000/sq.m)
- Historical rental yield: ¥20,328/month

The area’s combination of leisure amenities and investment stability makes it particularly attractive for buyers seeking both lifestyle appeal and capital appreciation.
Sierra Residences, Sydney: Suburban Serenity Near the CBD
Nestled in Sydney’s northwest, Sierra Residences offers a tranquil counterpoint to urban bustle. The development features four-bedroom villas set amid 12 hectares of parkland, just 40 minutes from the city center.
- Current listing: 202–218 sqm freehold villas
- Starting price: 5.27 million RMB (~¥26,000/sq.m)

With stronger recent price growth compared to the Gold Coast, this option may appeal to investors prioritizing capital gains, while still offering family-friendly living spaces.
Both properties represent distinct advantages—the Gold Coast for its resort-style luxury, Sydney for its urban proximity and growth potential. Prospective buyers should carefully evaluate local tax policies, zoning regulations, and infrastructure plans to align purchases with long-term objectives.
