Bass Lodge, once the weekender of the family of the supermarket giant Coles, has sold for $6,775,000. 

It was bought by the Newell family who are behind manufacturing company Baron Rubber.

It was sold by the local Barr-Smith family, who paid $5.4 million in 2010 before restoring the grand 1915 built home.

Set on a vast 5,340 square metres, the home has four bedrooms, a formal sitting room, dining room, seven-car garage, wine cellar and an internal lift 

Kay & Burton sold the home for a suburb record for a residential house, but failed to achieve near its initial $8 million to $8.5 million guide.

The record house price of $6.56 million was paid last year for the 2800 square metre 14 Bass Street.
