Ann Sanders ‘downsizes’ to $11.5m Hunters Hill mansion

And that they have done, albeit with plenty of room to spare given they have replaced what was a 15-room residence with a separate guest house and a pool to move to a marginally smaller 14-room house with a swimming pool at the other end of the historic peninsula.

The couple paid $11.5 million for the architect Corrine Girard Young-designed home of Perpetual board member Craig Ueland and his wife Nicole, which is set on the waterfront alongside the landmark Windermere estate recently sold by Chinese billionaire Sam Guo, and Cate Blanchett’s former home Bulwarra.

McGrath’s Tracey Dixon listed the Ueland’s home last year in tandem with a second house owned by the Ueland’s next door, the latter of which she sold for $6.25 million to Charter Hall senior executive Natalie Devlin and her husband, Keiron.

Sanders’ purchase comes as Windermere’s $19 million buyer, Lauren O’Hara, wife of pub baron Sean O’Hara, wastes no time bringing the estate back up to scratch, with landscape designer Stephen Yates already on site to reinstate his showpiece garden of a decade ago.
