Australia is home to some of the world’s most sought-after, intriguing, and enormous properties. Of course, they also attract incredible prices, reaching hundreds of millions of dollars. Here are the top five luxury homes in Sydney today.
1. Fairwater, Point Piper
Size: 11,000 sqm
Price: $100 million
The Fairwater mansion is the largest privately-owned property in Sydney Harbour. It has been around since 1882 and since then, the Fairfax family managed it for over a century until tech billionaire Mike Cannon-Brookes purchased the property in 2018. It sits on just over 1.1 hectares of waterfront property from Seven Shillings Beach to New South Head Road. It also features stained glass windows, mosaic floors, and panelled walls, making it a prized heritage home.
2. Edgewater, Point Piper
Size: 1,800 sqm
Price: $95 million
Another million-dollar waterfront mansion is Edgewater, located on Wolseley Road, in front of the Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge. This property is famous for its tennis court and deepwater jetty, but what makes Edgewater unique is the 40m harbour frontage. Built in the 1980s, it boasts two separate apartments with two levels each, priced at $47.5m a piece. Edgewater’s new owner purchased both apartments to convert them into a single luxurious residence.
3. Phoenix Acres, Vaucluse
