The last time the Aussie Home Loans founder listed the waterfront mega-mansion he knocked back an offer of $110 million because he didn’t want to part with it.
The Point Piper home, Wingadal, has long been lauded as one of Sydney’s best trophy homes in part thanks to its no-expense-spared build, its scale, and the eight years it took to build. The fact an offer of $110 million in 2017 was knocked back did nothing to dent that reputation.
Travel plans were also the motivation for Symond’s decision to sell the house seven years ago when it was listed for $100 million, only for it to be withdrawn from sale months later, despite an offer of $110 million.At the time Symond said he “probably rushed into the decision” to sell, but opted to keep it when he and then wife Amber decided to spend more time in Australia than expected.
He wasn’t wrong on the soaring value of Sydney trophy homes, but it wasn’t foreigners driving that demand.
The four-level residence is effectively a four-bedroom home, albeit with the sort of add-ons and floor plan that are the stuff of fiction to most people. The entertaining areas have capacity for 500 people. There is undercover parking for 20 cars, of which eight are inside the garage.As well as the main residence there is a separate two-bedroom apartment. There are two commercial kitchens, a 2500-bottle wine cellar, a home theatre with seating for 22 people. It comes with a swimming pool.
