History
2012: Sydneysider snares trophy
- Domain: Jan 28, 2012 by Margie Blok
Waimea House, a trophy Hobart residence that made headlines last year when it sold for $6.06 million to former Sydneysiders Piers Dawson-Damer and his wife, Kim, has quietly traded for a much higher figure and established a Tasmanian residential price record.
- The Dawson-Damers reaped a quick profit after selling Waimea House for $8 million to Tasmanian-born Greg Woolley late last year. Apparently the couple were approached directly by Woolley, who stitched up the private off-market deal to secure the property.
- A Sydneysider who resides at Point Piper (in a Wentworth Street house bought for $10.55 million in 2005), Woolley is a former Macquarie banker and a long-time adviser to the Lieberman family of Melbourne.
- He was also a business partner in an aviation leasing company that included David Coe, who was chairman of the collapsed Allco Finance Group.
- Last August, when the leasing company was sold, Woolley was reported to have collected proceeds of about $42.5 million on his investment made six years ago.
The Dawson-Damers bought Waimea House from the prominent Nettlefold family, who had owned it since 1948.
- The Dawson-Damers moved to Tasmania after they sold their home in Kent Road, Rose Bay, for $8 million in August 2007 to entrepreneur Frank Tagg, a former Wests first-grade rugby league player who made a fortune as a McDonald’s franchisee.
