Jonathan ChancellorAugust 5, 2015

The 1930s Moorish style Alcooringa has been listed for sale.

Complete with ballroom, the Bellevue Hill trophy home overlooks a large terrace with views of the harbour.

It is a F. Glen Gilling-designed house on Victoria Road, built for the grazier Taylor family. Alcooringa is an Aboriginal word which means dreamtime.

More than $25 million is tipped for the house that also comes with a private chapel with vaulted ceiling, installed by a devout former owner.

For a long time it was Maurice Moubarak until he sold in 1994 for $2.9 million to medico Louis Klein and wife, Claire.

The property co-listed with Brad Pillinger of Pillinger and Ken Jacobs of Ken Jacobs Christies International Real Estate.
