Clinton Taylor of the mega wealthy wine family has sold his luxury Vaucluse mansion for close to $14m and bought a duplex in North Bondi for half that.
Clinton Taylor of Taylors Wines has sold his Vaucluse mansion with iconic views for $14m and bought in North Bondi for $7m.
The six-bedroom Dalley Ave home with views from the Rose Bay beachfront to the city skyline, Opera House and Harbour Bridge, hit the market last September via Oliver Lavers and Gavin Rubinstein of TRG with a $12m guide.
The TRG duo had no comment but the family residence is understood to have sold in December for about $14m. A caveat on the title says the purchaser was Shan Yu.
Records show the property had last traded for $1.2m in 1997.
