Shane Warne puts his $6million Brighton mansion up for auction 

Shane Warne is putting his multi-million dollar mansion up for auction on Saturday. 

The retired sportsman, 50, purchased the home in Brighton, an affluent suburb in Melbourne’s south-east, in April 2018 for $5.4million and now hopes to sell it for between $5.8-$6.83million.

According to the Herald Sun Shane had originally hoped to sell the home in April, but was forced to cancel his auction at the last minute due to coronavirus restrictions. 

What’s more, the home was originally listed for $6.8-$7.4million, which is close to $1million more than the current guide. 

Shane, who recently underwent hotel quarantine after returning from the UAE, where he was a team mentor for the Rajasthan Royals in the Indian Premier League. 

‘He’s out of hotel quarantine and he’ll be there on the day,’ JP Dixon director Jonathan Dixon told the publication. 

‘It’s all been pretty tight on timing, with a three-week turnaround since he arrived, but that’s just Shane. Fingers crossed we have some people who are interested.’ 

The house boasts five bedrooms and bathrooms, a large swimming pool and spa, a basement theatre, a bar, and an underground garage with space for four cars.

On the ground floor is an open plan kitchen and family space, the first guest bedroom, a utility and powder room, and a formal dining and living room.

Perfect for outdoor entertaining, the family space leads out to the pool and spa with a deck and alfresco dining area. 

The home also features a large study, a deluxe master bedroom with spa ensuite decorated with Doric columns, and a balcony.

For those who love movies, the basement floor houses a theatre and a lavish bar, as well as the fifth bedroom with an ensuite and sitting room.
