What does $100 million look like?
‘Aussie’ John… name doesn’t ring a bell? Well, here’s a quick clip to get you up to speed.
Aussie Home Loans Managing Director and Founder was famous for the catchy little phrase – “At Aussie, we’ll save you”.
What a classic.
He’s been around for years, and his catch phrase has been stuck in people’s heads for just as long. It’s one of the reasons Aussie Home Loans are so successful. And to help you get your head around just how successful, at Sensational Sydney Cruises, we float you straight past ‘Aussie’ Johns Sydney harbourside $100m mansion.
When I first heard that a ‘home’ was on the market for a potential – yet cool – 100mil, I immediately thought, what does a $100 million home look like? And what does a $100 million home have, let alone need, that I don’t have in my place?
Here’s the breakdown of ‘Aussie’ John’s 2700-square-metre property boasting 90 metres of water frontage in the exclusive suburb of Point Piper:
- Two swimming pools
- Gymnasium
- Extensive library,
- Home theatre and designated staff quarters,
- Secluded, private chambers on the upper levels of the property
- And 24 bathrooms. Yep – 24!
And don’t forget the view of the Iconic Sydney Opera House. Oh, a ten car garage, and an entertainment floor or ‘party floor’ which can accommodate crowds of up to 600 people.
Up until now, the highest selling property in Australia sold for $70 million and belonged to James and Ericka Packer.
But, this affluent, bayside playground holds many more spectacular homes than just ‘Aussie’ John’s digs and the ‘Packers old place. Not to mention, you may find a bargain of your own.
