The businessman, commentator and former Federal Opposition leader, John Hewson has finally found a buyer for his Southern Highlands listing, Invergowrie.
It was first listed 10 years ago at $11 million.
His Tudor-style Exeter estate was most recently relisted through Mick Maloney, the longstanding local Richardson &amp; Wrench agent, with reduced $6.2 million hopes.
The trophy estate was built in the 1930s for the BHP industrialist Sir Cecil Hoskins, with an extensive 2009 refurbishment to the seven bedroom house that comes with library, ballroom, studies and billiard room.
The nine hectare grounds have Paul Sorensen gardens with tennis court, bocce pit, swimming pool, croquet lawn, orchard, vegetable gardens, a Japanese garden with waterfall, aviary and three guest houses.
Designed by architect Geoffrey Loveridge, Invergowie replaced Headlands, which had been owned by the Yates seed family.
Before that the Badgery family had what remains the landmark feature of the village of Exeter.
Hewson and his wife, Jessica Wilson had revised their price hopes down over the years it was on the market.
They married in the ballroom in 2007.
The former Reserve Bank economist and former member for the blue ribbon seat of Wentworth previously owned another Tudor-style Southern Highlands property, Redlands.
Hewson bought Redlands in 1977 for $106,000 and sold in 1985 for $380,000.

Banjo’s Run, the boutique winery at Exeter in the Southern Highlands, has been listed by Bill and Robyn Hall.
The couple have been their since 2009 following Bill's retirement after 40 years in real estate in Sydney's eastern suburbs.
They bought and rejuvenated an old vineyard then putting out their own wine label.
Banjo’s Run, which recently featured in the Gourmet Traveller magazine, has been listed by Deborah Cullen and Richard Sholl of Colliers Lifestyle Estates with offers due by September 30.
The vineyard comes with Bordeaux style, biodynamic cool climate wines from the 100 acre Sallys Corner Road property. 
“I had a rural upbringing and I wanted to reconnect with that feeling of living in the relaxed countryside but still close enough to the city and the local town” he said. 
 The vineyard is leased out so there is little work for Bill and his family. 
“In the last 18 months we’ve leased the vineyard out and they do all the work - we get to simply sit back and enjoy the fruits of their labour,” he says, with a grin. 
As part of the lease agreement, he receives 64 cases of wine annually. 
“This property is ideal for someone who would like to come down for the weekend but also receive an income stream/ and/or some pretty amazing wine” he said. 
Income is also possible from its three bed and breakfast modules.
The property’s dam contains substantial numbers of trout.

The former Vogue veteran Robyn Holt and her husband, actor Jim Holt, have secured a $1.175 million Southern Highlands retreat.
The purchase comes after the couple sold their stylish Woollahra home for a change of lifestyle, and whispered to be buying an $880,000 bolthole in the Rex at Kings Cross.
Their new purchase, a stark contrast from their city life, is at Exeter.
Set on a large 8828 sqm, the elegant three bedroom home has real timber floors, french doors and a wood fireplace.
The paved outdoor dining areas offers rural and garden views. Plus plenty of space to grow some vegetables.
Kate Maday of One Agency Maday Property Bowral secured <a href="https://oneagency.com.au/listing?listing_id=194451" target="_blank">the sale</a>.
They said goodbye to their Woollahra property which they bought from DSC Personnel boss Tom Smith for $1.71 million for 2002, shortly before the family moved to Russia following Robyn's appointment as chief executive of Conde Nast and launched Vogue Russia and GQ magazine.
They picked up a tidy profit however, securing a $3.75 million sale for the private two-storey home in March to a doctor.
Designed by renowned 1930s architect F. Glynn Gilling, the three bedroom home had a library and a private courtyard garden. 
The style meister Robyn Holt and her husband, actor Jim Holt, recently became grandparents to Camilla, the first born of their daughter, Hannah.
They met on the set of the 1984 Kennedy Miller miniseries Bodyline.
Holt isn't the first fashion star to call Exeter home.
The style queen Maggie Taberer was a long time Exeter resident during her years at the barn.
The priciest offering in the area is former politician John Hewson's Invergowrie, which has $6.5 million plus hopes.
Exeter is a village with a median house price of $840,000.

Robyn Holt buys Southern Highlands rural acreage

<div>Eleuthera, the very glamourous Exeter farm with 4000 tree olive grove in the Southern Highlands, has been sold - but only after its asking price was reduced by $1.5 million to $5 million.</div>
<div>
The rural retreat, just a hour from Sydney, was offloaded by its Monaco-based vendor, Chris Kyriakou, the longtime mining magnate known as “The Golden Greek” who first made headlines in the financial page gossip columns back in the highflying late 1980s. 
His last big splash was when the couple celebrated their birthdays together with a six-day, $1 million party on Christina Onassis’s yacht off Monaco - his 60th and her 40th some six years ago.
Nowadays there's a caveat on the property title that suggest it possibly sits among the contested matrimonial assets following his four year separation from his second wife, the onetime film producer Phoebe Baker. She gives her address as the family's Woollahra home that was bought in 2011 at $7.9 million from the publican Peter Ryan and his wife, Toni. 
They'd previously been renting Malcolm and Lucy Turnbull's Point Piper investment mansion.
His address in Monaco has been the prestigious Seaside Plaza on the Avenue des Ligures.  
Their contemporary Exeter retreat sits on the 40 hectare estate bought in the mid-1990s. The couple married there in 2000 with the home built in 2004 by the mining veteran associated with the Cayman Islands based, Natasa Mining.
Eleuthera, which was sold through Drew Lindsay and John Ross at Drew Lindsay Real Estate, comes home inspired by the modernist architectural forms of Frank Lloyd Wright/
The Ellsmore Road residence of stone, glass and masonry has five bedrooms and three bathrooms.
There's two kitchens - the internal chef’s kitchen with AGA plus the courtyard outdoor kitchen. 
The grounds also come with manager’s cottage and barn style guest accommodation along with heated pool, tennis court and stables.
