Trophy Listing

A Balinese-inspired Brisbane trophy home, belonging to the son of Trevor St Baker, has hit the market.

Set on an expansive 5,800 sqm block, the five-bedroom, three-bathroom home in Queensland&rsquo;s Camp Hill seeks offer before October 6.

Businessman Trevor St Baker&rsquo;s son Stephen has substantially improved the property since his $2.91 million purchase in September 2018.

Offering privacy, the Camp Hill property backs onto the Seven Hills Bushland Reserve.

Landscaped gardens, fishponds and a 20kW solar system with Tesla Power Wall are among other features of the resort-style residence.

Stephen currently sits on the board of directors for his father&rsquo;s company Tritium as well as St Baker Energy Managers Pty Ltd.

The St Baker family wealth came in the energy sector, with the development of ERM Power which operated Australia-wide and internationally.

ERM is now one of Australia&rsquo;s largest power development companies and the only energy retailer licensed to sell electricity to small businesses in all Australian states.

It is now owned by Shell, who completed the acquisition of the commercial and industrial electricity retailer in November 2019.

Shell plans to rebrand ERM to Shell Energy in the future.&nbsp;

The home is listed through Place Bulimba agent Brenton Faehrmann.

The beachfront Queensland market continues to boom despite closed borders. Billionaire developer Bob Ell has emerged as the buyer of a beachfront on Mermaid Beach that was listed for just three days.

He's apparently paid close to $22.5 million for the home and its ocean views.

<img alt="" src="https://www.urban.com.au/images/Screen%20Shot%202020-08-28%20at%2010.09.25%20am.png">

But he and wife Bridget, who have four children under 16, will retain the family’s main residence on the riverfront at Budds Beach property.

Mr Ell told The Gold Coast Bulletin it was a family-motivated decision.

“The kids are all rather sporting-minded and love the beach and the ocean,” Mr Ell said.

“This buy will enable them to burn off a bit of energy whenever they get restless and to perhaps lap up the surfing culture that’s synonymous with the Gold Coast.”

They recently offloaded their holiday home at Noosa for $9.6m to publican John Taylor, the owner of Victoria’s Grovedale Hotel, Barwon Heads Hotel and Torquay Hotel.

The Mermaid Beach home he recently acquired was built for racing industry figure and former realtor David Henderson and family. It was completed in 2012.

Set on the pricey Hedges Ave, the mansion was designed by Paul Uhlmann and is on one of the largest lots in the street at 1,215sq m with a 30-metre ocean frontage.

<img alt="" src="https://www.urban.com.au/images/Screen%20Shot%202020-08-28%20at%2010.08.16%20am.png">

It was sold for $16.5m in 2017 in a deal handled by the agency in which Mr Henderson previously was a principal, The Professionals Mermaid Beach.

The buyer, and the seller to the Ells, was Rosa Raso, wife of Sam Raso, whose Molendinar-based Austworld group makes high-end plumbing products and has six offices across the country.

Nat King and Amir Mian of Amir Prestige sold the home to Ell after the short listing with a $25 million asking price.

The Mohonga mansion in South Yarra has been listed for sale, fully renovated three years after purchase by the millionaire rag trader Peter Strover.
<a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-vic-south+yarra-123305670" target="_blank">Marshall White agent Marcus Chiminello</a> says it is expected to sell for at least $12 million.
The 268 Domain Road trophy home was previously the longtime home of the late Peter Rand, the eccentric millionaire son of the late Sir Thomas Rand.
The property's name is derived from pastoralist relative, Robert Rand's Mohonga station in regional NSW.
The five bedroom Domain Road trophy home built in the 1920s by architect Irwin Stephenson.
Living there quietly since the 1960s, Rand only made the news in 1993 when he paid around $700,000 for the adjacent property to cut down a tree that was blocking his view.
Mohonga was part of a $50 million property portfolio which also included the Sisters estate in Sorrento which sold to the Shelmerdine family for $19 million in 2008.
Mark "Chopper" Read in his autobiography wrote that if Melbourne ever had a true Mr Big of crime, of vice at any rate, then Peter Rand deserved the championship belt. He wrote somewhat colourfully that Mohonga was "fortress like."

Il Palmetto, the Palm Beach, Florida home has been listed through Sotheby's International Realty, by Jim Clarke, co-founder of Netscape Communications, and his Australian former-model wife Kristy Hinze.
Their waterfront estate in Palm Beach, Florida is on the market for $US137 million ($181 million).
The 1930s Italian renaissance-style mansion was designed by the architect Maurice Fatio for the industrialist Joseph Widener.
After Clark bought it in 1999, he spent four years renovating.
The six-bedroom, 5606-square-metre home is now a series of pavilions connected by cloisters on eight hectares, with a separate beach house with infinity pool and a tunnel under the South Ocean Boulevard leading to it, so guests get to the beach without having to cross the road.
Clarke, a keen yachtsman, married Hinze in 2009.
They sold their Point Piper waterfront apartment in the Sienna block for more than $8 million earlier in the year.
