Mosman 1890s mansion Tregoyd listed for $5,500 weekly rental
By Jonathan Chancellor Friday, 25 May 2012- It last sold to the Paris-based O’Brien family for $3.25 million in 1999 when they became its fourth owner.
- The
residence was part of the 1.1-hectare estate sold for $11 million in
1996 by Pioneer Concrete founder Sir Tristan Antico. It was where Sir
Tristan and Lady Antico raised their seven children.
- Antico,
who died at 81 in 2005, arrived at Sydney's overseas terminal in 1930,
aged seven, with just three words of English – "yes, no and toilet". He
swam, well into his 70s, each morning at Balmoral Beach, just below
Tregoyd. It was his love of horses – through Bernborough Breeding and
Racing Ltd – that bought him fiscal problems when in the early 1990s
horse prices dropped by 50% or more. His personal losses were
considerable so in 1991 he sold almost all of his Pioneer shares but
remained in the honorary capacity of president until the Pioneer he had
built in 1950 with a few wheelbarrows and shovels and an Oldsmobile was
consumed by Lord Hanson's group in 2000 for around $4 billion.
- 'In
July 1991 he sold almost all of his Pioneer shares, raising $4.7
million. In 1994 Sotheby's disposed of his Sickerts and a dozen
Australian paintings. In December 1997 he sold Tregoyd. Finally, in July
1999, the retail entrepreneur Gerry Harvey bought his beloved Baramul
and Oakleigh studs.'
- The
National Trust-listed mansion was built for Sir William Cullen, the
Chief Justice of NSW. Author Ethel Turner, of Seven Little Australians
fame, spent much of her time at Tregoyd visiting Lady Cullen and finding
inspiration in the gardens and views overlooking Balmoral Beach.
- Tregoyd's second owner was Mosman Daily newspaper founder Arthur Walker, who bought the Raglan Street property in 1917. Walker sold to Sir Tristan and Lady Antico for £11,000 in 1953.
- The 120-year-old residence sits on a 2,800-square-metre curtilage.
- The
townhouse project was undertaken by the Malaysian-backed Dealruby
group, known for its $180 million high-rise apartment towers at Moore
Park Gardens in South Dowling Street, Redfern.
- It’s listed through Ray White Neutral Bay/Mosman leasing agent Nick Yates.
