<div id="google_ads_iframe_/31694718/domain.com.au/news/prestige_3__container__">But at the height of the federal government’s crackdown on foreign buyers in 2015, the near neighbour and then treasurer Joe Hockey reported Guo to the Foreign Investment Review Board because he claimed his approval to buy Windermere was based on “spurious” grounds.</div>

<div> </div>
<div>Guo’s approval to buy the established home was by offering an undertaking to the FIRB to add to Australia’s existing housing stock by implementing already approved DA plans to replace the guest house with a new granny flat dwelling.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Fairfax Media report this second dwelling is yet to be built on the 3500-square-metre estate.</div>

The heritage-listed property with the Jules Joubert-built sandstone residence was built in the 1850s.
Neighbours were reported alerted to the upcoming listing by a letter box drop by Jessica Ke, of Carlingford-based agency Ausrealty.​

The home with infinity pool sits next door to Bulwarra, the former home of actor Cate Blanchett and musician husband Andrew Upton.
McGrath's Tracey Dixon and Brent Courtney sold the home.
Jayne Kaplan, formerly Jane Beddoe, is currently the ambassador to the Friends of the Australia Ballet. She recently appeared in Swan Lake at the Sydney Opera House.

Former Australia ballet lead soloist sells in Hunters Hill

Nova FM host Kent “Smallzy” Small has not let the coronavirus­ lockdown slow him down, selling and buying property in Sydney while the world stayed behind doors.
Smallzy recently upgraded to a new five-bedroom home in Hunters Hill, paying $3.7 million.
Ever since he listed his Alexandria townhouse at the height of the lockdown, Smallzy had been looking to relocate out of the inner city, with his agent at the time saying “he is looking for something that is more like a family home.”
Before this, the popular night time host of Smallzy’s Surgery — who with Richard Wilkins will lead a live-streamed Thank You Concert starring Ed Sheeran, Katy Perry and Keith Urban honouring essential services workers on June 20 — sold his two-bedroom investment Waterloo property for $1.57 million, raking in a near-$500,000 profit in the five years he owned it. 
Then he sold his Alexandria townhouse for more than $2 million­, both through BresicWhitney’s Chris Nunn.
Property Confidential believes Smallzy has already moved into his new home.
The two-storey house in Mark St is brand new and has level lawns, an in-ground pool and outdoor entertainment deck as well as an impressive master suite with a walk-in robe and ensuite bathroom.
“He really liked the idea of buying in Hunters Hill because he said it was good value for money and he liked that it had easy access to the Nova studios (in Pyrmont),” BresicWhitney agent Nicholas McEvoy said.
 “He was attracted to the fact it’s a great entertainer, modern, open plan and offers privacy. He viewed it a couple of times and bid for it himself at auction."

Sotheby’s International have listed part of one of Hunters Hill’s largest estates, The Haven.
The waterfront building block has been listed by the out of area estate agent James McCowan.
Offers close May 15 for the 858 square metre McBride Avenue riverfront holding that was long ago subdivided off by the late regional newspaper magnate John Armati and his widow Kate.
Armati had bought the 1859-built residence that sat on 5800 square metres for $7.25 million in 1997.
The 858 square metre block was transferred into the family’s investment company Macquarie Publications following its purchase.
Armati lived at The Haven until he died in 2017 when the main home was left to Kate.
Domain reports Kate "is not overly enthusiastic with the company’s decision to sell the waterfront block."
It added that the company was majority owned by Armati’s three daughters from his first marriage – Elizabeth Poate, Sally Armati and Katie Armati.
It further advised a "local source" indicated buyers are being told more than $4 million.

$6 million Hunters Hill trophy home tops the nation's sales

<html><body>
The 2015 sale of the Hunters Hill trophy home of Cate Blanchett and her husband Andrew Upton has collapsed. 
The buyer, understood to live in Point Piper, claims problems getting their funds out of China, highlighting an emerging issue for Australian prestige property owners.
<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/news/45762-cate-blanchett-sells-hunters-hill-riverfront" target="_blank">The historic residence, Bulwarra</a> sold for $19.8 million last August on delayed settlement terms, just three weeks after hitting the market.
The celebrity couple, wanting to avoid a circus agreed to further time extensions, having since bought <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/news/49682-cate-blanchett-buys-back-in-the-uk" target="_blank">in the United Kingdom</a>.
Their redundant 3642-square-metre North Parade estate has been relisted by Ken Jacobs of Christie’s International who will be seeking $20 million, no doubt calling those who missed out.
After returning to Sydney to perform in the Sydney Theatre Company's production of Hedda Gabler, Blanchett, often with her writer husband, Andrew Upton, began looking for their new Sydney house in 2004. After being bombarded with inquiries from pesky estate agents, the couple took the decision to sign up buyer's agency adviser, Deborah West.
Blanchett and Upton purchased the property on nine month delayed settlement terms for $10 million in 2005 from veteran merchant banker Jim Dominguez and his wife Suzanne, and subsequently spent more than $8 million on a three-year redesign by architects Nadine Alwill and Stephen Lesiuk .
The sales' contract collapse matter could be headed for the courts depending on the resale price now secured. Deborah West got huge billing as the agent to the stars after last August's sale.
“High profile clients come to us to escape the circus that is the Sydney property market," she then advised.
"They want confidentiality, discretion and privacy,” said West.
A home sales contract to an offshore Chinese buyer is no guarantee of yielding a settlement, <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/news/30229-chinese-buyer-defaults-on-rose-bay-prestige-offering-amid-siv-surge" target="_blank">as Property Observer has previously written</a> when the on-off issue of getting funds out of China arose. 
The size of the Cate Blanchett deposit is not known.
The Oscar winner and her husband bought a high-rise bolthole in The Astor on Macquarie Street as their intended Sydney base.
The price is undisclosed however Yellow Brick Road and Celebrity Apprentice boss Mark Bouris wanted $8 million for the apartment.

Cate Blanchett's $20 million buyer opts out of the Hunters Hill purchase

Australian cricketer Josh Hazelwood has splashed $3.8 million on a Hunters Hill home.
The recently built four bedroom, three bathroom home sits on a 500 square metre block.
It features dedicated lounge and media rooms, an upper level lounge with balcony and an alfresco retreat with outdoor kitchen that overlooks the pool.
It's the first foray into the Sydney property market for the 25 year old from Tamworth. At 17, Josh Hazlewood became the youngest fast bowler to be selected by New South Wales when he faced New Zealand in November 2008.
The 1.96 metre tall bowler stood out in the auction crowd last weekend when it was offered by McGrath Hunters Hill agent Tracey Dixon. 
Hazlewood made his senior debut for Australia at the age of 17 at the SCG against New Zealand in 2008.
He reached 50 career wickets in just his 12th Test, faster than Shane Warne, Glenn McGrath and Mitchell Johnson.

Both have views of the Gladesville Bridge.
Bought for $3.117 million in 2014, the apartments with Coco Republic decor had four bedrooms, three bathrooms. It overlooked its 10 metre private marina berth.
It had been listed with a price guide of $3.25 million through PRB Real Estate agent Joe Rizzo, who described the apartment as a house-sized haven.
The Laundy's had previously been in Strathfield, where they owned for nine years before selling for $5.7 million in 2014.
Craig is the assistant minister for innovation, industry and science in the new Turnbull ministry.
Laundy represents the inner west electorate of Reid, which he won at the July election securing 49 percent in the first preference votes.
