Historic Terinallum goes on sale

Terinallum, originally settled by the Clyde Company in 1846 in Victoria’s Western District, is up for sale.

Brisbane’s Bromley is on the market.

Terinallum, originally settled by the Clyde Company in 1846 in Victoria’s Western District, is up for sale. It has been listed by stockbroker John McIntosh and wife Marita after 27 years of ownership, through Colliers International agent Shane McIntyre. Terinallum is a 3240-hectare property near Darlington, productive with fat lambs, wool production, beef and cropping. There’s also been a dairy agistment. With lawns down to Mount Emu Creek, the bluestone homestead is surrounded by 3 hectares of acclaimed grounds with dry stone walls, an
80 metre wisteria walk, a reflection pool, tennis court, croquet lawn and hothouse. There’s guest cottages and the 1850s bluestone woolshed with 12 stands. Terinallum was once home of the Aspro heir Lindsay Nicholas and his wife HephzibahMenuhin, a virtuoso pianist and sister of the great violinist Yehudi Menuhin. Offers close November 30.

Bromley on the market

Brisbane’s Bromley, best known as the late 1980s Hamilton Hill home that businessman Christopher Skase built, has been listed for sale — again in a sea of caveats on the title. This time its co-owner, Sir Yii Ann Hii, is in a $64 million battle with the tax office. He got around town with the numberplate 1 VIP on his Rolls Royce Phantom. Set around the medieval circular staircase, they paid $6.25m for the palatial residence in 2001. The residence on Dickson Terrace was constructed by Skase and wife Pixie who quit Australia for Majorca in 1991. Offers close November 25 with Andrew Murray at Murray & Associates.

Horne’s $9m beachfront pad

Confirmation came this week that Australia’s richest female executive, Maxine Horne, was the buyer of a $9.3m Noosa beachfront. Listed through Offermann Real Estate, the
five-bedroom pad on 1460sq m set a
Noosa district record. Horne has been splashing in the property market having recently spent $10.5m on a three-level riverfront in New Farm. She recently sold 28 per cent of her stake in the Vita Group telecoms that she co-founded over two decades ago, selling off $42m worth of shares.

Golden Mile home for Burnes

All the attention has been on Shane Warne’s $14m-plus buyback in Brighton, so the bayside’s second-highest sale has gone through the slips cordon. It has emerged that the travel industry veteran Andrew Burnes, who heads Helloworld, and his wife Cinzia recently spent $13.5m on a 1910 home. They head a network of more than 1600 travel agencies which is an amalgamation of Harvey World Travel, American Express Travelscene, Jetset, and AOT. The home was marketed by JP Dixon as one of the last great period estates of the Golden Mile. It had been home of the late Vince Chiodo who sold motorcycles. Burnes, who founded the Australian Outback Travel firm back in 1987, is the honorary treasurer of the federal Liberal Party.
