Tech billionaire Scott Farquhar has sold his Point Piper beachfront mansion for exactly $130m, sources have confirmed exclusively to News Corp.

He’d broken the national house price record when he bought the crumbling home for $71m in 2017 from JB Fairfax.

Rumours of another $100m+ sale were circulating in Sydney on Friday morning, with early speculation that it was the Point Piper waterfront known as the Bang and Olufsen house.

Just a couple of the rooms were styled for the earlier sale, including this one.

This was later ruled out, with top agents advising that home was worth much more than that figure.

Then attention turned to Elaine, and it’s known that buyers had been shown through recently.

This latest deal matches the current $130m national house price record, also set by Farquahar, the Atlassian co-founder, for another Point Piper home, UIG Lodge, in November, 2022.

The agents behind this latest deal were Ken Jacobs of Forbes Global Properties and Brad Pillinger of Pillinger.

When contacted this morning, both had no comment.

Farquahar had lodged $37m plans to renovate Elaine, but key elements were opposed by neighbours and he looked elsewhere.

This journalist went on a tour of Elaine in 2016 when it was on the market.

Jacobs had warned me at the time: “It’s not much inside … the interiors aren’t what it’s about.”

We weren’t allowed to take photos and the supplied pictures were only of parts of the home that has been refurbished. Most of the house was derelict.

The interiors and clunky add-ons aside, the north-facing 6986sq m water­front property — with its ivy-lined path leading down past huge Norfolk Island pines to a gate to Seven Shillings Beach — is magnificent.

Only two houses have sold for $100m in Australia and they’re both in Point Piper, the Fairwater estate for exactly that in 2018 and UIG Lodge for $130m in 2022.

Melbourne’s wealthy Myer family have also put their Toorak mansion up for sale with predictions it could fetch $100m.
