A lavish waterfront mansion in one of Sydney’s most exclusive suburbs hides an unexpected James Bond-style secret that is impressing buyers.
Located in the leafy hills of Mosman, the spectacular property features a ‘mesmerising’ 25m tunnel that miners worked for six months to excavate.
Four years ago the owners, Robert and Wendy Procter, brought in five miners from the Lightning Ridge opal mine in NSW to carve out the tunnel, giving them food and board while they worked.

Robert and Wendy Procter exhausted their $1million budget to build the ‘game-changing’ tunnel that goes from the double garage to a lift that takes them up to the house
‘It’s a big house and the five of them stayed downstairs … the only thing we didn’t supply was alcohol which would have cost more than the tunnel,’ Mr Procter told realestate.com.au.
Mr and Mrs Procter exhausted their $1million budget to build the ‘game-changing’ tunnel that goes from the double garage to a lift that takes them up to the house.
‘It means we don’t have to walk up 63 steps, which is particularly difficult in the pouring rain,’ Mr Procter said.
The tunnel also houses one of Sydney’s most unique home gyms with a glass wall and hardwood flooring.
