The Springfield, Adelaide trophy home owned by one of Australia's richest young businessman, has been listed for sale.

It is expected to break the South Australian real estate price record for Ross Makris.

Beachside Glenelg home, Stormont, set the state residential record when it fetched $6.5 million in 2010.

The home at 9 Hillside Road, Springfield last traded in 2008 for $4.2 million.

The 2209-square-metre estate has been listed by Adcorp Property Group agent Joe Oppedisano.

Mr Makris, a property developer, made the Adelaide social pages last year when he married 2003 Miss World Australia, model Olivia Stratton.

He is the son of shopping centre tycoon Con Makris, who made his early money in chicken shops.

The Springfield mansion's former owner, Peter Hurley bought the land in 1997 for $420,000.
