In a move that signals a fresh start, Ellidy Pullin has decided to part ways with the luxurious Gold Coast apartment she once shared with her late husband, champion snowboarder Alex 'Chumpy' Pullin. The property hit the market this week, nearly four years after the Australian winter sports icon tragically drowned while spearfishing.
A Home Filled with Memories
The stylish two-bedroom, two-bathroom residence in the prestigious 'The Oracle' complex represents more than just bricks and mortar. This was the couple's sanctuary before the devastating events of July 2020, when 32-year-old Alex lost his life in a spearfishing accident on the Gold Coast's Palm Beach.
"This decision undoubtedly carries significant emotional weight for Ellidy," commented local real estate expert Sarah Thompson. "Selling a home shared with a lost loved one is never just a financial transaction—it's closing one chapter before beginning another."
Luxury Waterside Living
The apartment boasts premium features that made it an ideal home for the high-profile couple:
- Stunning panoramic views of the Gold Coast waterways and skyline
- Modern, open-plan design with high-end finishes throughout
- Spacious balcony perfect for entertaining and relaxation
- Secure building with resort-style amenities including pool and gym
- Prime location close to Surfers Paradise beaches and dining
Moving Forward with Strength
Since her husband's passing, Ellidy has shown remarkable resilience. The 31-year-old has been open about her grief journey while honouring Chumpy's legacy through various tributes and charitable initiatives.
In a touching tribute last year, Ellidy shared: "Chumpy's spirit continues to guide me every day. He was my rock, my adventure partner, and the love of my life. Making decisions like this property sale is part of navigating a path he would want me to walk with courage."
A Property with Champion Pedigree
Real estate agents familiar with the listing note the apartment's connection to the Australian sporting legend adds a unique historical element. Alex 'Chumpy' Pullin was a decorated athlete who represented Australia at three Winter Olympics and won multiple World Championship titles.
"Properties with such significant stories often attract considerable interest," Thompson added. "There's a narrative here that goes beyond the physical space—it's about honouring a national hero's memory while supporting his widow's future."
The sale comes as Ellidy continues to build her life post-tragedy, demonstrating the strength and determination that has inspired many following her very public loss.
