Moelis joint managing director Chris Wyke has spent a record $5.1 million on his weekender near Berry.

The UK-bon businessman has emerged as the buyer of Kerseydale in Broughton Vale, setting a record for the area.

The 4.2 hectare, 1920s farm had its homestead completely transformed in to a Hamptons-style homestead in 2012, before it was made the cover of Shoalhaven Amazing Homes Magazine.

Now a classic white weatherboard, the one level property wrapped in verandahs has five bedrooms, including a 35 sqm parents retreat with its own lounge, ensuite with spa and custom fitted dressing room. There’s a custom kitchen and oak home office, as well as a further four bedrooms.

In the grounds is a championship size clay tennis court, constructed by the same company used for the Sydney 2000 Olympic tennis courts at Homebush. It commended by tennis players Ken Rosewall and Evonne Goolagong Cawley. 

Accompanying the court is a tennis pavilion and function-style space configured to host over 70 guests with floor to ceiling glass doors and a Jarrah bar.

There’s a nine metre, solar-heated Quartzon negative edge pool with adjoining spa near the pavilion.

Away from the homestead is a number of equestrian facilities, including three stable blocks and tack room, as well as a dressage arena, upgraded and resurfaced in 2017 with Soiltex surface.

Wyke is based in Walmer House, the $7.2 million Wollstonecraft mansion bought under his wife, Tennis NSW director Anna’s name in 2015. 

Chris worked in investment banking for JP Morgan and UBS in London, Singapore and Sydney before joining Moelis in 2009. He was made joint chief executive officer earlier this year along side Julian Biggins, having been managing director for over a decade.
