Cate Blanchett puts Australian estate on sale for USD 20 mn

Oscar-winning actress Cate Blanchett has placed her palatial Australian estate on the market for USD 14.75 million.
The 46-year-old "Elizabeth" actress and husband Andrew Upton, 49, are ready to part with their five-bedroom waterfront property, reported the New York Post.
Overlooking the Lane Cove River in Sydney, the sandstone-faced mansion is set on a lush parcel of land in the exclusive suburb of Hunter Hills. Called "Bulwarra", the estate was built in 1877.
Although initially constructed in the 19th century, the home boasts many modern amenities, from a stainless steel kitchen island to streamlined balconies wrapping around the second floor, which provide nearly unobstructed views of the river. Solid American oak floors run throughout the impressive estate.

The master bedroom features a sky-lit dressing room and freestanding bath that boasts a sweeping view of the Australian landscape. Other amenities include a pool pavilion with large spa shaded by a pergola, a championship tennis court, a trampoline platform and a guesthouse.
