It also eclipses Crown Resort鈥檚 One Barangaroo circa $80 million penthouse next door, which is widely tipped to have sold to James Packer鈥檚 lieutenant Lawrence Myers last week.
The previous national house price record was held in conjunction with Uig Lodge, which was set by the tech billionaire Farquhar after paying $130 million in late 2022 for the Scottish baronial mansion, which he bought from rag traders Steven and Carol Moss.
That sale smashed the previous record holder by some $30 million set by his counterpart Atlassian鈥檚 other founder Mike Cannon-Brookes. The tech billionaire and his wife Annie purchased Fairwater in Point Piper for $100 million, ending more than a century of Fairfax family ownership.
A mansion in Melbourne鈥檚 Toorak also sold this year for at least nine figures, although is reportedly unlikely to top the national record. Sources have put the sale price anywhere from $115 million to $135 million.
