Has the Elizabeth Bay trophy residence\u00a0Berthong,\u00a0once home to Russell Crowe<\/a> and the Murdoch family, found a new owner? That\u2019s the claim according to well-placed sources.<\/p>\n

This is the\u00a0historic waterfront villa that was listed four years ago<\/a> by lawyer Peter Ziegler and his wife Andrea with a $35 million guide that has remained largely unchanged throughout the campaign by Ken Jacobs, of Christie\u2019s International.<\/p>\n

Despite no indication of the result, it is expected to score top place as this year\u2019s highest sale once records confirm the deal.<\/p>\n

Multiple sources say the property sold earlier this year with prestige agent Alison Coopes having a hand in the negotiations, however when approached she denied any involvement, and Mr Jacobs gave his standard \u201cno comment\u201d to enquiries.<\/p>\n

The property was removed from property portals last year.<\/p>\n
