According to the Herald Sun, the property became the center of a family dispute after it was handed over to his wife, Marguerite, two daughters and son of the late engineer Mr Nanut following his death in 2004.
The property was worth $20 million in 2005 when Nanut’s will was written but court documents obtained by the publication in 2021 saw his son James estimate its value at $60 million-$70 million.
James launched a legal battle against his mother and two sisters, who still live in the main house, in an attempt to sell the family land.
