One of Australia’s most expensive rentals is seeking a new tenant, though they’ll need a spare $25,000 a week to afford it.

Despite rising housing costs, the five-bedroom mansion comes with the same five-figure weekly rent it carried in 2023.

The luxurious three-storey rental on Victoria Road, in a secluded pocket of Sydney’s eastern suburbs, offers sweeping harbour views across to Point Piper and Mosman.

The Victorian residence features six bathrooms, an office, formal and informal lounge and dining rooms with marble fireplaces and a sprawling kitchen with a butler’s pantry.

There is also a grand marble foyer with soaring decorative ceilings and a statement staircase, a wine cellar, a billiards room with a fireplace, a conservatory and a double lock-up garage.

Upstairs, the main bedroom has its own walk-in wardrobe, ensuite and private balcony overlooking the harbour.

Outside, there is a resort-style swimming pool and tennis court, with terraces offering extra space for entertaining.

The listing notes the property is available furnished to the “highest quality” or unfurnished.

Property records show the mansion last sold for $6.8 million in 2002, having previously changed hands for $3.95 million in 1996.

Bellevue Hill is Sydney’s most expensive suburb to buy a house, with Domain data showing its median house price climbed to $11 million in March.

The affluent neighbourhood has recorded astronomical sales over the past few years, including a $50 million deal on the same street as the rental, while another neighbouring home sold for $26 million.

Agent Deborah West declined to comment on the listing when contacted by nine.com.au.
