Perth socialite Rose Porteous and her luxury real estate expert husband William have just listed their mansion in the swanky suburb of Nedlands for sale, for $5.75 million.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The couple bought the Dalkeith Road house in 2019 for $4.4 million.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The property has an imposing white pillared portico, which agent Peter Robertson said set the tone for what buyers could find inside.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

The five-bedroom, four-bathroom home also features a grand staircase, family room that spans the full width of the building, elevator, marble fireplace, butler\u2019s pantry and a kitchen with appliances imported from France, capable of catering for large parties.<\/p>\n

The house has the hallmarks of a miniature version of Porteous\u2019 famous\u00a0Gone With the Wind-<\/em>style residence Prix d\u2019Amour, the spectacularly showy plantation mansion Porteous built in Mosman Park when she was married to the late iron ore magnate Lang Hancock.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

The mansion was demolished in 2006 and the large 8000-square metre site overlooking the Swan River was sold and subdivided into 10 lots.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Porteous, a former maid, married Hancock in 1985.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

She rose to national attention after a protracted legal battle with Hancock\u2019s daughter Gina Rinehart, the richest person in Australia, over the circumstances that led to Hancock\u2019s death in 1992, and the distribution of his estate.<\/p>\n
