RT Edgar Toorak declined to comment on the purchaser’s identity, however Ms Goyder placed a caveat on the house in August.

He has also been chairman of energy company Woodside since 2017.

The glamorous concrete and marble-clad property is a product of high-end builder Agushi in collaboration with celebrated architectural firm Workroom and landscape architects Nathan Burkett.

The glamorous home is made mostly from concrete and marble.

The Qantas chairman’s move up the Melbourne property ladder comes amid interesting times for the airline after boss Alan Joyce announced he will step down early from his role.

Mr Joyce’s retirement came after the national carrier faced scrutiny in recent weeks over allegations it sold tickets for “ghost flights” and lobbied the federal government to reject Qatar Airways’ bid to increase flights to Australia.

Vanessa Hudson is now the managing director and group chief executive as of September 6.
