Travers ‘Candyman’ Beynon, famed for his empire in the tobacco industry, has put his opulent Gold Coast estate, known as the ‘Candy Shop Mansion,’ up for sale. The luxurious mansion boasts 14 bedrooms and 13 bathrooms, capturing the attention of those in the market for grandeur.
At 51, the flamboyant entrepreneur is preparing for the arrival of a new child with his wife, Taesha, prompting the couple to seek a more suitable setting for raising their young son, expected early next year. Relocation is imminent as they search for their next family home.
Nestled on a vast 1.4-acre plot, the mansion is a testament to lavish living with its waterfront location. Its architectural design draws heavily from the elegance of European styles, providing an exquisite visual experience that complements its stately presence.
The property dazzles with standout features, including a grand ballroom that exudes opulence, a private cinema designed to Gold Class standards with 15 comfortable seats, and a sprawling outdoor pool that invites luxurious leisure. The nine-car basement garage is a car enthusiast’s dream come true.
Having been the backdrop for a myriad of extravagant parties, the estate is accessed through imposing two-ton crested gates. Visitors are welcomed by a pristine sandstone driveway, which leads to a majestic courtyard adorned with marble, setting the tone for what lies within this palatial getaway.

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.
