The lower north shore’s VIP real estate circles are abuzz with speculation that Elton John, the illustrious musician, is eyeing Sydney to add to his impressive property collection.

According to realestate.com.au, reports have surfaced that the singer’s manager is actively searching for properties in the Harbour City on behalf of John.

At the heart of these rumours is an inspection at Kurraba Residences, situated in the prestigious harbourfront area of Kurraba Point.

This luxury development, worth $170 million, boasts 24 apartments, with most already sold.

However, the spotlight is on the remaining penthouses, each offering opulence that includes $1.5 million in furnishings and artwork.

The interiors, crafted by Christian Liagre, a French designer favoured by celebrities, promise an unmatched level of luxury.

The penthouses offer breathtaking views across the water to the Royal Botanic Gardens, framing Sydney’s iconic skyline.

When introduced in late 2023, Luke Berry, the founder of Thirdi Group, highlighted the appeal of these residences for high-flying individuals seeking a home ready to welcome them at a moment’s notice.

The properties, named The Kirribilli and The Kurraba, offer expansive living spaces, with the latter sprawling over 600sq m.

It features four bedrooms, four bathrooms, a gym, steam room, wine cellar, private swimming pool, and what is claimed to be Sydney’s largest rooftop garden, all behind a $50 million price tag.

Designed with privacy in mind, direct lift access from the garage is a key feature, catering to the privacy needs of high-profile individuals like John.

Sydney, with its world-renowned harbour views, has long attracted celebrities.

Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban, Russell Crowe, and international stars such as George Michael have all sought residences in this coveted location.

John’s potential move continues his longstanding relationship with Australia, which dates back to his first performance in the country in 1971.

John, alongside his husband David Furnish, owns an extensive portfolio of international properties, including residences in France, the UK, Los Angeles, Atlanta, and near Venice, Italy.

Kurraba Point’s allure is undeniable, with property values soaring by 33 per cent over the past year, making it a prime location for the star’s next investment.
