A stunning Sydney mansion that once housed Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman during their ill-fated marriage has gone on the market.
In 2000, the famous Hollywood stars were invited to the huge space, which was owned by director Baz Luhrmann.
The property is now listed for sale with a whopping $40 million price tag.
Set in luxurious grounds in the heart of Darlinghurst and known as Iona, this beautifully preserved Italianate estate features seven bedrooms and seven bathrooms.
Luhrmann and his wife Catherine Martin rented the property in the late 1990s and used it as a “home/office” for their company Bazmark.
The couple finally bought it in 2006 for $10 million after making the box office hit Strictly Ballroom (1992) and the Nicole Kidman hit Moulin Rouge (2001).
Kidman and Cruise reportedly hosted a party at Bazmark’s restaurant to celebrate the completion of Moulin Rouge shortly before the Hollywood power couple split in 2001.
After moving to New York, production designer Martin, 59, and Luhrmann, 61, sold Iona in 2016 for $16 million to its current owners, stockbroker Tim Eustace and his partner Salvador Panui.
