Texan billioniare Jim Clark and model Kristy Hinze list Point Piper harbourfront bolthole: Title Tattle
The big Point Piper listing of the week has been the very occasionally used bolthole of the Texan billioniare Jim Clark and his wife, the model Kristy Hinze.
Title Tattle gathers it's for sale at $7 million plus.
Their 260 square metre apartment is one of eight whole-floor residences within the prestigious Sienna harbourfront block on Wolseley Road.
They paid $7.65 million through estate agent Jaime Upton in mid-2009 when the waterfront site was being developed by Michael Bezzina's Bezzina Group which subsequently went into administration.
It has 180-degree harbour, city and Bridge views.
Its LJ Hooker Double Bay listing agent Bill Malouf has launched marketing suggesting it offers the ultimate in contemporary luxury, privacy and security.
Graced with the finest quality finishes, it features an expansive free-flowing floorplan, including a lounge or billiard area with a covered balcony.
There are generous living and dining spaces framed by retractable doors opening to a large terrace.
It has three ensuite bedrooms including a "sumptuous" master suite with a spa bath and balcony access.
It also comes with a gym access to a sandy beachfront.
Meanwhile the former wife of another billioniare, Jodhi Packer has listed her Point Piper pad (below) with David Bromley topless artwork on its wall.
The former swimsuit model is apparently seeking about $2 million for the apartment in the converted Edwardian mansion Danmark. It cost $1.23 million in 2004 - part of her package after her two-year marriage to James Packer ended.
The apartment with separate living and dining rooms, two bathrooms and a sunroom and garden terrace has been scheduled for June 12 auction.
Another two Damark apartments are currently listed for sale. Karen Daly, the wife of bigband member, Warren Daly is the vendor. One has $3 million hopes having cost $1.25 million in 1997. The other cost $2.78 million in 2010 before a lavish renovation. The couple reside on the waterfront in the house they bought from the retailer John David for $7.75 million in 1997 which has a Chinese-style heritage listed boatshed on the northern end of Seven Shillings Beach. Karen Daly, the successful author of the Fats & Figures range of books.
And earlier this year it took just a fortnight for the legendary Dire Straits bass guitarist John Illsley to sell his Point Piper apartment.
The three-bedroom Wolseley Road apartment came with $3 million-plus hopes, with its selling agents Sally Hampshire of Laing+Simmons Double Bay and McGrath agent Bethwyn Richards securing $3,375,000.
It was bought by the Horwath family who already own two of the seven apartments in the complex.
It had cost $690,000 shortly after Dire Straits' 1986 tour of Australia.
The stylishly reinvented 241-square-metre apartment is atop a Wolseley Road block called Harbour Gate.
There's also a private boat shed on title with access to Seven Shillings Beach.
These days the English-born Illsley, who lives in Hampshire, paints, having promised himself to pursue that passion when the time came in 1993 for Dire Straits to finish its touring. The band broke up in 1995.
