The Hawkesbury River log cabin once owned by the late Sydney stockbroker, Rene Rivkin is back on the market.

The four-hectare property comes with a price guide of $12 million having been listed by horse-trainer Glenn North and his wife Louise Cordina, the chief executive of Cordina Farms, one of Australia’s oldest chicken businesses.

They paid $4.5 million in 2017 for the estate, at 5501 Wisemans Ferry Road, Spencer, an hour-and-a-half out of Sydney.

It last sold when offloaded by Bob and Wendy Lapointe who bought the Spencer log cabin in 2011 for $1.45 million.

Built by Appalachian Log Homes, the cabin was a favourite getaway for Rivkin, who used to fly or boat in.

It has been for lease on the luxury accommodation platform, Contemporary Hotels, where it seeks $25,000 a week.
