The Bellevue Hill P&O-style trophy home of the late tycoon Tan Sri Khoo Teck Puat has been listed for 19 November auction.

When Khoo died a decade ago he was Singapore's richest man and ranked 108th richest in the world by Forbes.

The magazine noted a decade after the death of banker Khoo Teck Puat, founder of Maybank and investor in Standard Chartered Bank, his heirs continue to run the Goodwood Group of Hotels, with its iconic 114-year-old hotel near Orchard Road, which displays a bust of the late Khoo in its lobby.

The hotelier and financier - best known in Australia for his stake in the South Pacific Hotel Corporation - bought the Rupertswood Avenue property in 1982 for $900,000.

Laing+Simmons Double Bay's Bart Doff is seeking around $4.5 million.

Khoo's residential Sydney portfolio was extensive, all being Bellevue Hill properties for his large family.
