Crafted for the visionary founder of Aussie Home Loans, John Symond, Wingadal has emerged as a crown jewel since its acquisition in 1999. Articulated by the renowned architect Alec Tzannes over eight meticulous years, the mansion represents a zenith in residential design and architecture.
Tzannes reflected, “The creation of Wingadal has been a pinnacle of my professional endeavors, manifesting a timeless design that spirals around a meticulous alignment with Sydney’s renowned Harbour Bridge.”

The palatial abode is designed for grandeur and entertainment, capable of hosting 500 guests within its walls, and boasts extensive parking facilities, including a subterranean space for 20 vehicles and an eight-car garage.
The four-story residence encompasses four opulent bedrooms and a separate two-bedroom apartment. It is also appointed with a capacious 2,500-bottle wine cellar, a 22-seater private theater, dual commercial-grade kitchens, and an expansive swimming pool.
Symond reminisces, “The past two decades have seen Wingadal as much a cherished family home as a venue for philanthropic and society events. As my focus now shifts to ventures abroad, I am releasing this exquisite property to the next visionary owner.”
The pursuit to transfer Wingadal’s title is not a novel voyage for Symond. An initial endeavor in 2016 proposed a A$100 million benchmark that Mansion Global chronicled, a figure that the market has since eclipsed with a Point Piper estate commanding A$130 million in 2022, as noted by The Sydney Morning Herald.
