A massive beachside mansion that has never been lived in is for sale in Western Australia. The stately home at 5 Shelton Street in Waikiki, in the state’s Rockingham region, was built by a wealthy English couple in 1995 and used as their summer house. “The place is fantastic.
It’s 30 years old, never been lived in,” William Porteous of William Porteous Properties International told Domain . He said the owners would visit the mansion “a couple of weeks” a year. There has been much interest in the eight-bedroom, five-bathroom home with unobstructed views of Waikiki Beach.
Sitting on 5226 square metres, the property has a soaring atrium foyer, spiral staircase and glass dome roof. The stately home was built in 1995.

As previously reported , the owners had a large extended family including lots of grandchildren. The pool was built inside so “they could keep an eye on them from the kitchen”. It also has a 3000-bottle temperature-controlled wine cellar and a private tasting area.
