Gold Coast tobacco magnate Travers “Candyman” Beynon has put his headline-making Candy Shop Mansion up for sale, offering buyers a rare look at the sprawling 14-bedroom, 13-bathroom estate.
The 51-year-old businessman, known for his flamboyant lifestyle, is preparing to welcome a baby boy early next year and is moving with his wife, Taesha, to a home better suited to raising a young child.
Set across an enormous 1.4 acres of prime waterfront land, the palatial Gold Coast residence blends lavish scale with architecture inspired by classic European grandeur.
Among its standout features are a grand ballroom, a 15-seat Gold Class-style cinema, an expansive outdoor swimming pool and a basement garage with space for nine cars.
Long associated with extravagant parties, the mansion is secured behind towering two-tonne crested gates and opens to a striking sandstone driveway and a marble-clad courtyard designed for maximum impact.

The property also benefits from a coveted location close to major Gold Coast attractions, including the internationally known Surfers Paradise shopping precinct, restaurants and beach.
Beynon previously shared the grand estate with Taesha, his wife of 14 years, as well as his much-publicised “harem” of girlfriends.
In April, Travers and Taesha revealed what it will take to become the latest addition to their polyamorous relationship.

Travers recently announced the couple was looking for a new ‘main girlfriend’ to live with them.
An online job application includes a list of requirements for women hoping to win the position, as well as a glimpse into the kinds of daily activities she would be expected to perform.
‘Being the girlfriend of Mr Beynon, a.k.a. The Candyman, not only must you be attractive to be considered as a girlfriend, but you must be fun, bubbly, outgoing, spontaneous, adventurous and respectful to everyone,’ the website states.

The estate is the perfect property for the family who enjoys the finer things in life
The successful applicant will enjoy perks such as a designer wardrobe, five-star travel around the world, and entry into ‘exclusive private parties’ with Travers himself.
Girlfriends are required to ‘maintain their presentation’ by undergoing regular beauty treatments – all of which will be organised by Travers.
Beynon is the managing director of Freechoice Tobacco and is said to be worth $200million.
