Massive Block, Half-Built Mansion: Moggill Property Seeks New Owner

Locals in Moggill may have noticed the unusual structure rising from the fields at the end of Landing Place — a part-built mansion that has sparked curiosity for years. Now, after nearly two decades of stop-start progress, the property is officially on the market again, and it’s looking for a new owner with vision.

Set on a rare 10,000sqm block at 29 Landing Place in Moggill, the property is unlike anything else currently for sale in the area. The site comes with the shell of an enormous home that was originally planned to include seven bedrooms, seven bathrooms, multiple kitchens, and a pool, but the project was never completed.

What remains is a massive concrete slab and brick framework. The roof, interior walls, and fittings were removed by the current owners to make way for a bigger build, which never eventuated. Now, the property is being sold as-is, for offers over $1.2 million.

While the structure itself might not be move-in ready, the land alone is something special. Flat, cleared, and close to local amenities like Moggill Village, Bellbowrie Plaza, and the Moggill Ferry, it’s a rare chance to secure acreage this close to the city.

For builders, renovators, or dream-home hopefuls, this could be the ultimate project. It could also suit someone keen to start fresh with a new home design, something that’s becoming harder to do as large blocks like this become increasingly scarce.

The last time the property sold in 2023, it was actually in a more finished state, with a roof, staircase, and bathrooms. The changes since then reflect the previous owners’ ambitious plans, which have now been shelved in favour of other opportunities.

With Moggill’s median house price now sitting at around $1.2 million — up 24 percent in the past year — interest is expected to be strong, particularly from buyers who understand the area’s lifestyle appeal and growth potential.

For locals, it’s a familiar landmark with a story. For the right buyer, it could be the beginning of something spectacular.

Clive Palmer Expands Footprint in Fig Tree Pocket

Mining magnate Clive Palmer has significantly expanded his presence in Fig Tree Pocket. The 70-year-old businessman has amassed a sprawling compound now estimated to be worth up to $60 million.



Palmer’s property holdings in Fig Tree Pocket now stretch across nearly half a kilometre of Brisbane River frontage. Since the pandemic began, he has tripled his footprint in the area, now owning seven titles that collectively form one of the largest private landholdings in the suburb.

The foundation of Palmer’s Fig Tree Pocket estate is the former property of Peter Bond, which he acquired in 2018 for $7.5 million, a significant discount from its original $12 million listing price. This 1.26-hectare property marked the beginning of Palmer’s expansion in the area.

In 2020, Palmer acquired two neighbouring properties, each priced at $5 million. These acquisitions, made through his company Closeridge and in his own name, secured him control of the left side of the street leading to the Brisbane River.

The extensive river frontage of Palmer’s compound provides him with the unique opportunity to anchor his superyacht, “Australia,” adjacent to his residence.

Among Palmer’s neighbours in Fig Tree Pocket are his son Michael, who owns a nearby property, and Queensland tech entrepreneur Bevan Slattery, founder of NextDC and Megaport, who resides next door on the riverfront.



This significant investment in Fig Tree Pocket real estate comes as Palmer awaits a decision from an international court regarding its jurisdiction to hear his case against the Commonwealth.
