Ms. Pratt, along with her siblings Anthony Pratt and Fiona Geminder, co-owns the global packaging and recovery company Visy, founded by their late father, prominent businessman Richard Pratt.

Marshall White director Marcus Chiminello is overseeing the marketing campaign for Ms. Pratt’s pad, which features a games room, gym, pool and guesthouse with a marble bar.

Antoinette Nido, director of Melbourne Sotheby’s International Realty, which lists 6 St Georges Rd, said it had been owned by the same family for more than five decades.

Ms Nido said the 3,509 square meter offering includes extensive botanical gardens, a Hollywood Hills-style oval pool and “a fantastic billiards room with a great bar”.

She expects strong interest from both local and international buyers.

“It is exceptionally rare to have almost an acre of land on St Georges Rd, which is truly the pinnacle of life in Toorak,” Ms Nido said.

She has also seen an increase in buyer inquiries and activity this spring.

“It’s when many buyers, perhaps who have been looking all year, are waiting to see what else comes to market so they can compare offers,” she added.

The circa 1920 mansion at 6 St Georges Rd, Toorak, has been in the same family for more than 50 years.

There are seven bedrooms, nine bathrooms and parking for seven cars, plus several sitting rooms and study areas.
