French to sell Le Manoir in Bellevue Hill

The French Government have placed their Bellevue Hill mansion ‘Le Manoir’ on the market by a very exclusive invitation-only auction. The French Government has owned the property since 1956 and has been host to countless public figures and celebrities over the years.

The house, surrounded by a 3 metre high fence, appears to be suited to a security-conscious family, which explains why it is rumoured that Russel Crow and wife, Danielle Spencer privately toured the property last week and has attracted the interest of Nicole Kidman and husband Keith Urban.

Behind it’s solid steel, retractable electric gate entrance, the 4000sqm Victoria Road Georgian estate comprises six bedrooms, five bathrooms, harbour and ocean views, two studies, servant quarters, a commercial-sized kitchen, a grand foyer with sweeping internal staircase, floral and vegetable gardens, chicken coop, tennis court and pool.

Marketed at $12million through Raine and Horne - Double Bay. For further information, contact Michael Pallier on 0417 371 522 or find it on www.millionplus.com.au
