Gold Coast family turns property slump into three-month Italian reset

A Gold Coast family is relocating to Tuscany, Italy, for three months due to Australia's property market slump, which they call a "forced reset" to turn economic uncertainty into a positive opportunity. Shane Wynhoven, 48, and Corinne, 43, paused their property development business after the federal budget cooled the market, renting out their home and enrolling daughters Florence, 7, and Vivian, 5, in an international school via Boundless Life. The family will spend about $13,000 monthly on accommodation and education, totaling nearly $40,000, before traveling through Europe, the UK, and Asia, returning to Australia in early 2027 for the new school year.
