A record has quietly been written into Sydney’s property story. ✨

A record has quietly been written into Sydney’s property story. ✨

The Knoll - a Georgian revival estate perched high on Kent Road, Rose Bay, has just sold for $45.1 million at private auction.

Built in 1935 and held by the Burns family for over sixty years, the home carries a sense of heritage and permanence. Across 2,536 sqm it stretches with gardens, a pool, and long views over the Royal Sydney Golf Club — a kind of grandeur that feels both rare and enduring.

Bidding opened at $29m, climbed past $40m, and with nine hopefuls in the room, it was finally a local family who claimed the keys — by just one last $100k bid.

The result is more than a number. It speaks to the resilience of Sydney’s prestige market: how, even in uncertain times, estates of true scarcity hold their place as generational assets, homes that outlast trends, carrying legacy as much as luxury.
