Goldman Sachs executive lists Melbourne mansion for $22 million

A prestigious Brighton beachfront property owned by Goldman Sachs executive Nick Sims and his wife Georgina has hit the market with a price guide of $20-22 million.

The imposing white mansion, built nearly 40 years ago by high-profile developer Max Beck, features six bedrooms, eight bathrooms, and an impressive array of luxury amenities across its three-storey layout.

Located directly across from Brighton Beach’s iconic bathing boxes, the 1980s property boasts panoramic views over Port Phillip Bay through its large west-facing windows.

According to the listing, the property’s extensive list of premium features includes dual swimming pools – an outdoor pool with spa in a sunny courtyard and an indoor lap pool for year-round swimming.

Wellness amenities feature prominently throughout the property, with a home gym, steam room, sauna, and tennis court providing comprehensive fitness options for the discerning buyer.

Entertainment spaces haven’t been overlooked, with the basement level housing a dedicated home cinema and an eight-car garage. 

Wine enthusiasts will appreciate the cellar with capacity for 1,200 bottles.

The property is being marketed through a joint campaign by Buxton Brighton’s Victoria Gregory, Stefan Whiting and Gary Yue, alongside Forbes Global Properties’ Robert Fletcher and Tracy Tian Belcher.

According to Domain, original builder Max Beck likened the home’s distinctive design to “Fort Knox,” highlighting its imposing architectural presence in the prestigious bayside suburb.

Nick Sims, who holds the position of Global Partner at Goldman Sachs and serves as co-head of Investment Banking in Australia, is also a director of the Collingwood Football Club, adding to the property’s high-profile provenance.

The listing agents note there is potential to redevelop the property, subject to council approval, with available architectural designs by John Matyas of Matyas Architects included in the sale.

Despite its established character, the property’s prime beachfront location and substantial land holding represent significant value in Melbourne’s prestigious Brighton market, where neighbouring properties have recently traded for up to $40 million.

The expressions of interest campaign for 2 Kinane Street closes on December 2.
