There’s also a tennis court on the front, as well as a private jetty.

The luxurious home has been snapped up by a buyer who is based in Sydney, according to realestate.com.au, which reported the sale and the $95m price tag

The vendors were Joe Brender and the late Sam Moss, co-founders of women’s clothing brand Katies, who bought the property for $5m in 1985, when it was just a concrete shell, and turned it into two residences.
