Mr Johnston served as chair of investment bank and financial services firm Goldman Sachs Australia and New Zealand from 2020 to 2023, following 14 years as the company’s head of banking.

He’s now an advisory director to the business, a Melbourne Cricket Club Committee vice president and a member of the Australian Takeovers Panel, a federal government authority.

The Johnstons are selling their Georgian-inspired house in Main Ridge featuring a pool and cabana, tennis court and orchard.

The pool is surrounded by greenery.

Timber floors, a large dining area and kitchen with an island bench inside the home.

The separate studio is another new addition to the house, built within the past 18 months.

Kay & Burton executive director Tom Barr Smith declined to comment on the five-bedroom home’s owner but public documents show that it is held in Ms Johnston’s name.

Mr Barr Smith said the 2.83ha property had been extensively renovated in addition to offering privacy and a low-maintenance, landscaped outdoor area.

“I love the garden, as you’re driving in you get beautiful deciduous trees and the swimming pool,” he said.

A separate studio that was built in the last 18 months would serve as the ideal work from home spot, he added.

The Georgian-inspired facade includes a portico entrance.

The abode is close to wineries, beaches, parks and golf courses.

A fireplace keeps one of the living areas cosy.

The two-storey house has an open-plan living space with an open fireplace, kitchen centred around an island bench and French doors.

Other highlights include a main bedroom suite with a double-vanity ensuite and dressing room, plus a media room, gym, powder room and double garage.

Mr Barr Smith said most of the interested buyers were based in Melbourne and seeking a home to use as a city retreat.

Expressions of interest close at midday on May 13.
