White Fox founders' $150 million Sydney mansion project breaks ground

White Fox founders Contos and Moore are building their $150 million Mediterranean mansion in Sydney's Vaucluse.

White Fox Boutique founders Daniel Contos and Georgia Moore are working on one of Sydney's most ambitious residential projects. The couple spent an estimated $150 million to buy five adjoining properties in Vaucluse.

This gives them a 4,000 square metre landholding. Casa Del Sol, their planned main home, will have a Mediterranean design.

It will offer sweeping Sydney Harbour views. The mansion will include an underground bunker, massage suite, wellness centre, beauty room, outdoor cinema, dining lounge, large pool and spa, tennis court and olive grove.

A second dwelling on the site will have a basement car turntable, sunken living area with private pool and spa, and three bedrooms. Woollahra Council approved the revised plans in September after earlier sign-off on the main house design.
