Qantas boss Alan Joyce trades up to an historic 15-room Mosman mansion with a $19million price tag

Qantas boss Alan Joyce has splashed out on a sprawling $19million waterfront mansion overlooking Sydney harbour.

Joyce, 55, and his husband Shane Lloyd bought the palatial 1908 Federation residence in Mosman on the city’s lower north shore, trading up from their inner city penthouse at The Rocks.

The 15-room home has six bedrooms and multiple living areas, including outdoor living spaces on two massive decks overlooking the busy bay. 

After being on the market for several months, it was sold by former foreign exchange dealer Alison Ethell and her sister Jane, who bought it for just $1.25million 19 years ago.

Joyce and Lloyd’s new 631 square metre home was completely rebuilt in 2015 with Seattle architect Paul Moon transforming the house into a modern classic, with the help of Lovett Custom Homes.

Now it is an enormous three-level home, set above a large three-level parterre garden that leads to a direct deep waterfront access.

At the water’s edge it has a jetty that could accommodate a 7.6 metre sailing boat, which might come in handy with the Sydney amateur sailing club located directly across Mosman Bay from the property.

It also has an valuable and rare permanent berth and its very own shark-netted sea pool.

The mansion boasts four bathrooms, a home cinema, its own wine cellar and a huge double garage.

According to designer Paul Moon, it was refurbished as ‘a traditional Australian Federational Style house and update the spaces with a few American touches’.

Joyce, who takes home an estimated annual salary of $1.9million as Qantas boss. bought the penthouse in the Cove apartments for $4,575,000 in 2008.

He and Lloyd also own a summer getaway house at Palm Beach, which they bought for $5.25million in 2015.

Joyce and Lloyd were married in a lavish ceremony on the rooftop of The Museum of Contemporary Art at Circular Quay in 2019 in front of over 100 family, friends and fellow executives.

Joyce appeared on the Today show recently to promote Qantas’ direct flights to London and New York and ended up roasting the show’s host Karl Stefanovic about his love of first-class flights.
