Domino's Pizza boss Don Meij put his home in Eldernell Tce, Hamilton, on the market in February this year.

That changed a day after Mr Meij made his June 13 ASX announcement that the firm was closing Domino’s Denmark and either selling off or closing 65 to 70 underperforming corporate stores to provide annualised savings of as much as $59m to the business.

On June 14, the triple storey home at exclusive Eldernell Terrace in Hamilton was listed as being open to offers over $8m, and is now showing as being under contract on realestate.com.au.

He bought the property for $7.25m on February 11, 2018.

The home is spread out across three levels and has dual street entrances.

The five bedroom, four bathroom home sits on a 910sq m block on the hillside overlooking the Brisbane River, with panoramic views across to the city skyline.

Place Ascot agent Patrick McKinnon listed the home as having a kitchen with top of the range Gaggenau, Sub-Zero and Miele appliances, dedicated outdoor zones with built-in Zieglar Brown barbecues, a secure wine cellar and cold room plus a bar area with ice machine and bar fridge, as well as its own basketball court.

The home sits amid some of the most expensive real estate in Brisbane on Hamilton Hill.

The property has multigenerational living options with a self-contained flat having its own entrance.

Mr McKinnon has said it was a privilege to sell such an elegant home.

“We had around 60 groups through the property, multiple offers.”

The home has a dedicated office, separate study and gym, as well as a self-contained lower level with its own separate entry, perfect for multi-generational living.

The home’s garage accommodates four vehicles, and has its own Tesla Powerwall and Tesla and Porsche car charging station.

Domino’s shares closed Friday at $43.48, dropping -1.136 per cent.
