How much does it cost to become Lachlan Murdoch's neighbour? $14.2m
Unless the heir apparent to Rupert Murdoch 's media empire snaps the property up himself. The 53-year-old has some form in shoring up homes close to his Georgian-style mansion over the years.
The tightly held home in question has been offered for the first time since 1990, which was when Hong Kong doctors Robert and Katherine Yiu bought the three-level house for $2.3 million.
Located in a dress circle position in one of Bellevue Hill's most prestigious addresses, the circa 1930s-built home, known as Fernlee, is set on an elevated 930 square metres with spectacular panoramic views from the harbour to Manly. It features soaring ceilings and generous gardens on either side. It is within walking distance to local schools, including Scots College and Cranbrook.
The five-bedroom, three-bathroom house is ripe for renovation, although its original features have been kept in good condition.
It is selling through Steven Zoellner of Laing + Simmons Double Bay. He declined to comment when contacted. It is scheduled to go under the hammer on August 13.
It's not a bad opportunity for any interested parties, given Murdoch and his wife Sarah paid $23 million for their trophy home they bought from the French government in 2009.
The couple have since gone on to pick up another two homes surrounding it to the tune of $7.03 million to protect their views, adding another some 1600 square metres to their landholding in the area and totalling $30 million.
