Shane Warne drops the price on his $6.38M Brighton home by $1M after failing to sell it at auction 

Shane Warne failed to auction off his Brighton, Melbourne home on Saturday, with bidding reaching a $5.65 million – well short of the guide price. 

The former cricketer had hoped for between $5.8 million to $6.38 million for the home, which cost him $5.4 million in 2018.

Now he’s dropped the price by a whopping $1 million – accepting offers over $5.8 million, after originally asking for $6.8 million to $7.4 million in March. 

According to Domain, the auction, was held outdoors next to the swimming pool and the opening bid was $5.5 million. 

Agent Jonathan Dixon of JP Dixon Real Estate told the website that he hoped a sale would be made in the afternoon despite the early result. 

However, negotiations with a potential buyer did not reap the wanted result. 

Despite a handful of famous faces at the auction, those most interested in the property were ‘local people’ he went on to say. 

Shane was not seen outside the property on auction day, however, he was spotted peeking through the curtains.   

His son, SAS Australia star son Jackson Warne, 21, came along to offer his support, arriving in a black SUV. 

Shane’s manager, Helen Nolan, also came along to keep an eye on things, and was all smiles as she arrived. 

Aaron Hamill, formerly a player for St Kilda Football Club, was also there to have a gander at the property on offer. 

The home includes a well-stocked bar area with plush seats and a high-end nightclub feel. 

There is a spacious outdoor dining area and a luxurious pool, as well as multiple living areas and a slick, modern kitchen. 

A wine cellar with an adjacent living space for relaxing and hosting guests adds to the upmarket feel of the property.

The home has sweeping spaces and a black and white theme throughout, as well as a grand staircase near the entrance.
