Set within a historic sandstone quarry on one of Gosford’s highest vantage points, Rumbalara spans more than two hectares of elevated bushland.

The development has become an architectural icon, integrating contemporary design, natural surroundings, and an exceptional standard of amenity rarely found in the region.

Designed by Marchese Partners, the gated community comprises 188 residences across four buildings, offering privacy, security, and a tranquil connection to its lush environment, complete with sweeping waterviews.

The record-setting penthouse offers over 450 sqm of living space, including 265 sqm internally and 186 sqm of private terrace. Conceived as a single-level retreat, it captures uninterrupted 360-degree views across Brisbane Water and the Central Coast.

Crafted with an emphasis on sophistication and enduring quality, the residence features WOLF and Sub-Zero appliances, natural stone benchtops, bronze fittings, and engineered timber flooring. Its living zones include an electric fireplace, fluted stone kitchen island, and multi-zoned concealed air-conditioning.

The bathrooms are appointed with porcelain tiles, freestanding bathtubs, and twin bronze showers, creating a tactile, timeless atmosphere that redefines modern luxury.

The purchaser, an owner-occupier relocating within the region, was drawn to Rumbalara’s rare blend of design excellence and everyday convenience, offering a nature-immersed sanctuary seldom found in Australia.

“This penthouse sale far exceeds any record for an apartment within Gosford and it is a testament to the team behind Rumbalara Residences and just how special this development is,” says Deicorp Group Sales Manager, Nick Hunter.

“Once you step inside the grounds, there is a feeling you get, where life feels easier and the stress of work or the busy city just melts away. You’re surrounded by nature and have access to state-of-the-art amenities and a concierge service that truly puts everything at your fingertips, while only being an hour from Sydney.”

Central to the offering is a six-star concierge service by Stedmans Hospitality, delivering a personalised experience inspired by the world’s finest hotels. From in-home dining, floral deliveries and pet care to wellness bookings, beauty appointments, dry-cleaning, and personal errands, daily life is seamlessly uplifted.

Residents also enjoy an extensive suite of wellness, leisure, and work-focused amenities, including a heated outdoor pool, spa and sauna, fully equipped gym, BBQ terrace, wine-tasting room, residents’ bar and dining lounge, cinema, golf simulators, and a co-working library ideal for remote professionals.

A proposed deli-style café is also under consideration, promising local character and convenient options, from poolside catering to in-home dining.

Rumbalara is positioned at the centre of Gosford’s unprecedented revitalisation, with more than $1.2 billion in transformative projects reshaping the city into a vibrant hub for lifestyle, education, and employment.

Among these initiatives are the proposed $687 million Gosford Waterfront Marina, featuring a 150-berth marina, new homes, dining, retail, and public spaces, the University of Newcastle’s $63.8 million Gosford campus set to open in 2025, and the $348 million Gosford Hospital upgrade, which will expand emergency and cardiology capacity.

Further elevating the region’s connectivity, the Government’s proposed high-speed rail network could soon link Sydney and Newcastle in under an hour, with Gosford as a key stop, cementing the Central Coast as one of Australia’s most accessible regional centres.

Rumbalara Residences is being delivered through a joint venture between Alceon, a privately owned financier and investment firm, and Deicorp, one of Sydney’s leading developer-builders.
