Andrew Muir pays Daniel and Danielle Besen $17m for Miramar

Nine Towers Road, Toorak, recently sold for $26.25m

Good Guys boss Andrew Muir is buying the distinctive Flinders holiday home listed late last year by Daniel and Danielle Besen.

The deal is worth $17 million, according to reports.

The wing-shaped dwelling, Miramar, with seven bedrooms, was marketed by Peninsula Sotheby’s International Realty’s Rob Curtain.

Over 29.5 hectares on Mornington-Flinders Road, it has Western Port views.

The Besens, who reportedly separated, banked $26.25m late last year selling another curvaceous residence, 9 Towers Rd, Toorak, to Netflow managing director Phil Dreaver.

In 2015 Mr Muir sold a Guildford Bell waterfront once owned by the Baillieu family, at Sorrento, for $21.5m, to the Deagues.

That purchaser is presently replacing the holding – next to another it held – with two houses.

The Good Guys boss set a metropolitan Melbourne price record 10 years ago paying Steve Vizard $17.75m for an Orrong Road, Toorak, home.

Coincidentally, the Besen’s Towers Rd deal now holds that claim (though there is speculation of a $40m deal underway this month).
