Renowned for their succulent charcoal chicken, Andre and Carole Estephan, the esteemed owners and founders of El Jannah chicken shop, are making headlines in the property market. The Aussie entrepreneurs have listed their opulent Dural mansion on Old Northern Rd, with offers expected to climb to the region of $15 million.
With humble beginnings, Andre and Carole opened their first El Jannah location in Granville, west of Sydney, in 1998. Since then, their restaurant chain has garnered a devoted following, becoming a household name synonymous with mouthwatering Lebanese cuisine. With over 20 outlets across Sydney, Melbourne, and Canberra, El Jannah has solidified its position as an iconic culinary institution in Australia.
Of course, all this success doesn’t come without its perks, like a sprawling six-bedroom estate first purchased in 2014 for $4.6 million. Spanning 5.2 acres and boasting an array of lavish amenities, including a championship-sized tennis court, an entertainer’s swimming pool, and a prestige garage shed, the property is now being offered, and it’s likely to be an enormous return.
The mansion, or “divine residence,” as it has been coined by agent Steven Chen, captivates with its attention to detail and world-class craftsmanship. Manicured gardens, stone pathways, and sweeping lawns create a picturesque setting, offering breathtaking views from within the home. And with space for horse stables, its grandeur and sophistication all rolled into one.
From the stately entrance with a porte-cochere to the lavish formal areas and executive study, every corner exudes sophistication and style. Interiors exude timeless elegance, seamlessly blending traditional luxuries with contemporary design elements.
Like real ingredients are essential to El Jannah’s delicious food, entertainment is paramount in this estate. The entry-level features four separate living areas, a high-end kitchen, a cinema, and a billiards room. Below that is a sprawling rumpus room with a wet bar and wine gallery, perfect for hosting extravagant gatherings.
Now, let’s head over to those equally impressive outdoor spaces. There’s an alfresco kitchen, a luxury cabana by the heated mosaic pool and spa, and a floodlit tennis court. Whether you’re looking for an idyllic retreat for relaxation or plenty of space for all your celebrations and activities, this estate promises an unparalleled lifestyle experience.
Of course, we can’t talk about the house without mentioning the serene surroundings of Dural. Beyond the mansion, Dural offers the tranquillity of semi-rural living without disconnecting you completely from city life. Just 11 kilometres from Castle Hills’ retail hub, Castle Towers, and less than an hour’s drive from Sydney’s CBD, it presents a rare opportunity to indulge in luxury living amidst nature’s beauty. And the best part of all is that it’s only a twenty-minute drive to El Jannah in Baulkham Hills.
Whether you’re a fiend for El Jannah or a lover of property and real estate, this luxurious $15 Dural mansion symbolises more than just a residence; it represents a legacy of success and achievement for the Estephan family and chicken lovers everywhere!
