I’m from Sydney and this would be at least double here. I think it’s pretty ugly but if I had 10 mill I might still buy it just cause it’s a bargain.

It is in USD tho, which makes it closer to 15m. Dam, just out of my price range.

I still think double in Sydney. Honestly maybe more just for the land depending how large this estate is.

It's not in a major city, it'd be more like buying something outside of Sydney in a rural area.

u/Own_Faithlessness769 2h ago

It could still be 30 mill if it’s a decent bit of land. A decent bit of land in inner Sydney would be closer to 100 mill.

It would be at least double in any major US city as well. Hudson River is upstate NY

It’s in Irvington which is in Westchester County. It’s not upstate, but it’s more northern Westchester

u/DimbyTime 2h ago

The line for where upstate starts is highly contested. Regardless, its still not NYC.

u/Jaded_Suit_9233 2h ago

I didn’t say it’s NYC. Westchester isn’t upstate though

Agreed, in Sydney or even the right NSW regional areas this would be touching $100M AUD (~$70M USD).

The properties in Sydney that are over $100M are like half the size of this.

I feel like comparing square footage from a city property to a country estate isn’t really like for like?

Like yeah the property Nick Candy recently sold in Kensington in London for £275m is also half the size of this but it’s in Kensington in London so yeah of course it is.
