Media scion and St George Dragons boss Andrew Gordon lists Vaucluse house

Andrew Gordon, the only son of media mogul Bruce Gordon and chairman of the St George Illawarra rugby league club, has put his Vaucluse house up for sale given plans to upgrade to an apartment in the CBD.

By media scion standards the three-bedder is a fairly humble abode, bought in 2016 for $4.1 million when he was upgrading from his $3.35 million semi in Rose Bay and is in a different league to the far more expensive homes of James Packer, who sold his La Mer mansion in Vaucluse in 2015 for $70 million, or Lachlan Murdoch’s Le Manoir estate in Bellevue Hill.

The Hopetoun Avenue house is Gordon’s Sydney bolthole, with corporate filings indicating his main home is the two-hectare property he bought bought south of Sydney in Austinmere in 2015 for $1.9 million.

Title records indicate Gordon is yet to purchase a replacement Sydney home.

Gordon is chairman of the family-owned regional television network Win, headquarted in Wollongong, and added the job of chairman of the Dragons to his resume in 2018 after Win increased its stake in the club from 25 per cent to 50 per cent.

The Vaucluse house set on Hopetoun Avenue is on offer for $4.25 million ahead of a May 27 expressions of interest deadline through Sotheby’s Barry and Mark Goldman.

Gordon Snr, who is based at his 10-hectare Wreck Hill estate in Bermuda, owns a Sydney bolthole in the Quay Grand building at Circular Quay, bought in 2016 for $9 million with his wife Judith.
