Summary
Pharma titan Dennis Bastas and his wife Georgina just shattered Melbourne’s luxury property record with a $124 million purchase of the iconic Coonac mansion in Toorak — a staggering leap from its $14.5 million 2002 price tag. They also snapped up a neighboring apartment block for $12.1 million, bringing their total investment to $136.1 million. Plans are already underway for a $38.5 million renovation, complete with a 10-car garage, staff quarters, wine cellar, billiards room, salon, and wellness sanctuary — turning this into their ultimate dream estate.
