A magical country estate owned by the late theatre producer Martin McCallum, renowned for bringing iconic shows like Les Misérables to Australia, is now on the market in NSW. The property, named Urimbirra, is a tranquil retreat with six bedrooms and six bathrooms set on 34 hectares in Tilba Tilba. Purchased for $3.75 million in 2021, the estate boasts lush gardens, a resort-style pool, and various amenities.
McCallum, who passed away at 73, was a prominent figure in the British musical theatre scene of the 1980s, having worked on over 500 Broadway and West End productions. Known for his contributions to shows like Cats and The Phantom of the Opera, he also held positions in esteemed theatre organizations. The estate, managed by David Nolan of Webster Nolan Real Estate, is slated for auction in August.
In a separate real estate development, speculation surrounds the sale of Crown Tower’s $80 million penthouse in Sydney to Lawrence and Sylvia Myers. Lawrence, a key figure in James Packer’s business ventures, is a high-profile executive with diverse roles in corporate advisory and fund management. The Myers, who are reportedly selling their Rose Bay property for over $90 million, are transitioning from a luxurious house to a top-tier apartment.
Meanwhile, the Woollahra residence of Elizabeth and Greg Sanderson, of Sanderson Mercedes fame, was sold for $9.75 million earlier this year. The buyers, paediatrician Hugh Allen and architect Judith Ainge, made a local move from their previous property in the same suburb. The Sandersons, having relocated to the Southern Highlands, downsized from a grand estate, which was later acquired by Michael Porter and Billy Mitchell.
The property market’s shifts reflect a mix of luxury transactions and lifestyle changes among high-profile individuals. From the legacy of theatre icons like McCallum to the upscale acquisitions in Sydney’s real estate landscape, these developments underscore the dynamic nature of property investments and personal choices in the high-end market.
