Located in the blue-ribbon Sydney suburb of Point Piper, on the highly sought-after Wunulla Road, this expansive boatshed has just sold for close to $40 million, making it Australia’s most expensive property sale this year.

Taking just weeks to sell, it is believed to have sold on the high end of its $37-$40 million price estimate by Ken Jacobs and James Hall of Christie’s International.

The two-storey boatshed is set on almost 2000sqm and is complete with a harbourside swimming pool on grounds and one of the largest private marina berths on Sydney Harbour.

More than a boatshed, it holds accommodation on the upper level and, importantly, a DA to convert the property into a house, recently approved by Woollahra Council.

The property has seen many of Sydney’s elite as custodians, with it once the former party-pad of Denis O’Neil, property developer and Olympic sailor, and his family.

Plenty of people are looking to get away from it all. But most are reluctant to give up the conveniences and small luxuries of modern living.

Central to the floorplan is a generous, north facing open plan living space with raked ceilings and wraparound bay windows leading onto a sun-filled deck via sliding doors.

Entry is via a spacious reception area with integrated hall table and storage cupboard. A short hallway offers access to the master suite to the right and secondary bedrooms to the left, or through to the open plan living area to the rear.

The master suite includes a built-in robe and stylish, semi open ensuite. Sliding doors lead onto the split level deck, with a spa on the lower side to provide privacy.

The well-appointed kitchen includes a large butler’s pantry, as well as an island bench and bar area with finishes such as Carrara marble chosen to blend seamlessly into the lounge and dining area. A stone fireplace is the main focal point in this room, while ducted heating and aircon ensure that thermal comfort is maintained all year round.

At 334sqm, the house is large enough to provide room for family and friends when required, bt cosy enough for two, without spending unnecessary time on maintenance and cleaning.

With Barnbougle Dunes and Lost Farm golf courses just 10 minutes away, local wineries and mountain biking at nearby Derby, this is an ideal property for downsizers looking for a little luxury while still feeling connected to nature.
