A stunning Sydney property owned by one of Cambodia’s most elite families has sold privately for an eye-watering $32.18 million as the high-end real estate market in the Harbor City continues to grow.
The seven-bedroom beachfront modernist design house ‘Portovenere’ in Clontarf, a north beach suburb, is said to have been bought by a Chinese buyer.
The home, which has 3,000 square feet of beach reserve and includes a swimming pool, half-basketball court, day spa, home theater, gym, sauna, and cheese room, was last sold in 2016 for $11 million.
Franco Belgiorno-Nettis, who co-founded construction giant Transfield, and his wife Amina bought the land in 1952 for £22,500 ($42,390).
The house was built in 1961 and the Belgiorno-Nettis family owned the property until Amina’s death.

Tao and Phara gutted the residence and added many of the home’s amenities, along with lavish finishes that show off furnishings and decor from Italian designers Fendi, Versace, and Cavalli.
The property was put on the market last June by BlackDiamondz Property Concierge’s Monika Tu and Jad Khattar with an asking price of $35 million to $38 million.
