Developer Lawsuit Complicates Sale of Kyle Sandilands’ $5M Unsold Country Estate

Kyle Sandilands‘ luxury property in Glenorie, which has already seen a substantial price reduction, faces additional complications as the builders responsible for its renovations have initiated legal action against the former radio host. The construction firm, Alter Build Co Pty Ltd, which is based in Sydney, has filed a civil Statement of Claim in the NSW District Court.

The legal documents suggest the claim is related to the sale of goods and services tied to the renovation efforts at Sandilands’s estate, known as Kingsview Estate, which spans 9,580 square meters.

This opulent six-bedroom, five-bathroom residence was acquired by Sandilands for $3 million in 2022, shortly before he welcomed his first child, Otto, with his wife, Tegan Kynaston.

In a notable move for his career, Sandilands and his then-co-host, Jackie ‘O’ Henderson, signed a 10-year contract worth $200 million with KIIS FM the following year. However, this alliance came to an end in March when Sandilands was suspended and subsequently terminated by parent company ARN due to controversial remarks made about Henderson.

Earlier in June, Sandilands reached a settlement with ARN over Federal Court proceedings, reportedly totaling nearly $14 million, which included a cash component of over $12 million along with advertising services valued at $1.5 million.

In a twist, Sandilands took out a secondary mortgage of $2 million on the Glenorie estate with Mortgage Holdings Group, reportedly facing interest rates exceeding 17 percent. The estate, designed to evoke Elvis Presley‘s Graceland, stands as a modern replacement for a demolished 1970s house.

Last year, Alter Build Co, led by founders Andrew Kabourakis and William Teixeira, initiated renovations by enclosing the property. The finished product boasts a two-storey Georgian-style mansion featuring a circular driveway leading to a porte-cochère.

Initially listed for between $5.7 million and $5.9 million, the property has since seen its price lowered to $4.9 million but remains unsold. Attempts to contact Alter Build and Sandilands for clarifications have been made, while the case is set to appear at the Downing Centre District Court later this month.
