Balmoral trophy home sale for John Harvey
Jonathan ChancellorAugust 29, 2016

Ex-Societe Generale CEO John Harvey has sold his Balmoral mansion reportedly for around $12.5 million after a three-month campaign through McGrath agent Michael Coombs.

It was a new-build by award winning Sanctum Design and crafted by award winning Mudgecorp Constructions.

Offering over 800sqm of luxury living space, the home has five bedrooms, five bathrooms and a swimming pool

There's a 140 sqm terrace with fire pit and outdoor kitchen.

It likely ranks as the second most expensive Mosman home sold in 2016, after retired Merrill Lynch and Commonwealth Bank executive Doug Dovey and his wife Debra's sale. Their nearby Burran Avenue home fetched $12.8 million in March. 

The former Australian chief executive of French investment bank Society Generale paid $3.25 million for the property in 2005 and built the new home from scratch on the 988 sqm parcel.
