Inside fitness influencer Lauren Simpson and Mark Carroll’s $9.5million ‘lighthouse’ mansion
Fitness personalities Lauren Simpson and Mark Carroll recently purchased an extravagant, multi-million dollar property on the exclusive Sovereign Islands along the Gold Coast.
This year, Lauren, a renowned world bikini champion, along with her fitness training companion, acquired the magnificent property, famously known as The Lighthouse, for approximately $9.5 million.
In 2017, the remarkable house known as “The Lighthouse” due to its unique tower-like beacon standing over the Broadwater, received the prestigious title of Master Builder’s Gold Coast Home of the Year.
Spanning four levels, the house offers an expansive 1,380 square metres of internal living space.
This property additionally features a casino and game room, along with numerous areas for entertainment, a fitness center, reading room, and work-from-home space.

There is also a luxurious gourmet kitchen with a marble island bench, scullery and butler’s pantry.
The house features four bedrooms, including a master suite with a walk-in wardrobe, a private bathroom, and a balcony all for exclusive use.
A generously sized guest room, equipped with a walk-in closet and private bathroom, boasts a scenic view of beautifully maintained gardens through its own private terrace.
As a devoted follower, I can’t help but share the delightful extras that await you here. The rooftop pool offers an unparalleled view of the Broadwater and Surfers Paradise skyline, stretching a full 180 degrees before your eyes.
The rooftop space also includes an outdoor kitchen, fireplace and Teppanyaki bar.
The excited couple took to Instagram this week to show off their luxe purchase.
In his picture collection, Mark mentioned that he’s been yearning to purchase the house ever since he saw it four years back.
Four years back, when Lauren suggested I relocate to the Gold Coast, I replied that the only location I’d consider moving to was the Sovereign Islands,” he penned down.



On our very first day here, as I took our dog for a walk, I spotted a house that struck me as our “dream” house, and I mentioned that someday we’d own it.
Upon arriving in this new place, while walking the dog, I chanced upon a house that seemed like our ideal one, and I mused that eventually, it would become ours.
‘Opportunity presented itself earlier in the year and I took the opportunity. Dream home achieved.’
Mark also joked about owning a house with a casino, given he is not a gambler.
In my personal message, I shared that along with the new residence, it also includes a casino, which is fortunate since I abstain from such activities. Additionally, there are two bars within the house – quite the setup! However, given my lifestyle choices, you won’t find me indulging in beverages at these establishments either. Laughter ensued as I jokingly added, “haha.
‘Looks cool but. My friends will enjoy it’
Mark’s impressive post sparked a lot of well-wishing messages from his friends and supporters.
Great! I wasn’t familiar with the Sovereign Islands before, but when I looked it up, a photo of your place appeared. Kudos to you!
Here’s another way to phrase it:
“Many people share this feeling. Would you be willing to give us a complete tour of that house, if you don’t mind?



Following their purchase of a Sovereign Islands mansion for approximately $5.9 million in the year 2021, Lauren and Mark found themselves next in line.
As a devoted admirer, I’d be delighted to share my admiration for this stunning residence that gracefully overlooks the mesmerizing Coral Sea and nearby isles. This exquisite dwelling stretches across four stories and boasts an elegant limestone exterior.
This isn’t the first time Mark and Lauren have been in the real estate spotlight.
The fitness-loving couple previously bought the Sydney home of former NRL player Sam Burgess.
