Attention, royal real estate enthusiasts! The King of Radio, Kyle Sandilands, is letting go of his majestic castle in Sydney's outskirts.
Sandilands, the renowned radio star, is selling his grand mansion, a weekender retreat nestled in the Hills District of Sydney's North West. He originally purchased this expansive property in 2022 with a vision to create a Hamptons-inspired family haven. Now, it's up for grabs, and the asking price is nothing short of impressive - $5.7 million to $5.9 million.
The property, listed by Carolyn Wheatley, Principal at Belle Property Dural, has undergone a remarkable transformation since its last sale. Back then, it was described as a place that "really needed to be seen to be believed." Fast forward to now, and the home has been meticulously renovated, blending traditional Georgian charm with contemporary upgrades.
But here's where it gets controversial... Sandilands, who acquired the 9580 sqm acreage just before the birth of his first child, Otto, with his now-wife Tegan Kynaston, is moving on from this family haven. Why? Wheatley suggests it's because Sandilands desires a location closer to the city.
So, what does this mean for the radio star's real estate portfolio? Could we see him invest in another weekend retreat, or perhaps an upgrade to his $14 million Vaucluse mansion purchased in 2023?
The Georgian-inspired double-storey home boasts exceptional scale, with approximately 832 sqm of internal living space (excluding alfresco). A grand circular driveway leads to a porte-cochère, setting the tone for the welcoming balcony above. Inside, the residence accommodates extended or multi-generational living with six-plus bedrooms, five bathrooms, and multiple formal and informal living areas featuring soaring ceilings.
At the heart of the home is a substantial eat-in kitchen, complemented by generous preparation areas, ample storage, and adjoining formal and casual dining spaces. A private study with custom library detailing and concealed storage adds to the home's versatility.
Outdoors, the estate offers a lifestyle retreat with beautifully transformed gardens, expansive lawns, and a paddock framed by breathtaking district and mountain views.
And this is the part most people miss... Sandilands' castle isn't just a home; it's a testament to his vision and dedication to creating a unique family haven. With its blend of traditional and modern elements, it's a true masterpiece.
So, what do you think? Is this a wise move for Sandilands, or is he making a mistake by letting go of this castle? Share your thoughts in the comments below! We'd love to hear your opinions on this royal real estate saga.
