Bodybuilder Sergio Taranto lists lavish semi-rural mansion in Victoria for $7m
Bodybuilder Sergio Taranto has reportedly listed his resort-style mansion in Victoria's Yarra Ranges for sale. Located in leafy Lysterfield, 32km from Melbourne, the five-bedroom, five-bathroom ultra-modern pad has a price guide of $6,500,000 to $7,150,000. Built on top of a hill in the sought-after Carrington Estate development, the sprawling two-storey home offers a commanding view of the surrounding bushland. The sales agent responsible did not confirm Taranto as the owner of the 5,928 square metre property, reported the Herald Sun on Friday. However, the publication said documents for the massive architect-designed home confirm the well-known personal trainer as the owner. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Constructed on what was once a cow paddock, the steel and glass home features soaring ceilings and dramatic design features, including a Lucretia crystal chandelier. Highlights include a second storey undercover alfresco dining and relaxation space. There's also a second alfresco space on the ground floor with built-in BBQ and adjoining courtyard. Other features include a home theatre with luxurious cinema seating, a gym and an indoor pool and spa. Meanwhile, the massive main bedroom occupies an entire wing of the upper floor and includes an ensuite and a dressing room with two walls of wardrobes. For added luxury, the main suite is host to a drop-down TV, a drinks station and a freestanding bath. Also featured on the top storey is a 'retreat' space and a balcony which spans the entire floor. Elsewhere, the kitchen offers a dual-island with 'waterfall' benches, granite sinks, and a large butler's pantry with a second kitchen. Buyers are likely to be drawn to Taranto's listing since the Carrington Estate is known for its up-scale homes which rarely hit the market. Situated in sight of the famed Dandenong Ranges, the ritzy neighbourhood offers underground power and large nature strips. As an added touch of charm, developers have installed 'heritage' street lamps. Best known as a men's health specialist, Taranto has competed in the International Federation of Bodybuilding and Fitness Championships (IFFB). In 2014, he scored second in the IFBB Sydney competition in the Open Super Heavyweight event. He achieved the same result in Perth a year later for the National Physique Committee (NPC) tournament in the Classic Physique Masters competition. Taranto also launched a YouTube channel offering health hacks, which has since been retired.

Bodybuilder Sergio Taranto lists Lysterfield mansion
The luxury Lysterfield home designed and built for competitive bodybuilder and sports nutritionist Sergio Taranto has hit the market with $6.5m-$7.15m price guide. Taranto, who once set his sights on becoming a YouTube fitness star, is well known in Melbourne's personal training scene for helping others achieve weight loss transformations through clean eating, muscle-building programs and no-nonsense nutrition. He also has serious competition credentials, placing second in the 2024 IFBB Sydney Championships (Open Super Heavyweight) and again in the 2025 NPC Perth Championships (Classic Physique Masters). AFL icon's family farewells home after 115 yrs Couple's wild brothel move exposed Property documents confirm Taranto owns the home a striking architectural residence perched at one of the highest points in the prestigious Carrington Estate, and crafted as the ultimate lifestyle base for a high-performance family. The four-bedroom, four-bathroom home occupies a sprawling 5928sq m parcel of land, where Taranto is understood to have drawn inspiration from cutting-edge European design and elite wellness retreats. A sleek black facade, soaring ceilings and floor-to-ceiling glass make a commanding first impression, with jaw-dropping views stretching across Melbourne's skyline. Inside, the home centres on a soaring void with a floating staircase and bespoke chandelier that anchors multiple living zones across two levels. A statement kitchen is fitted with dual stone island benches, integrated appliances, and extensive storage, including a concealed butler's pantry — designed to handle everything from family dinners to strict macro meal prep. A home cinema with plush recliners, zoned living areas, and a full-length entertainers' balcony with alfresco dining space provide room to relax, or entertain a crowd. In the basement, a dark-toned garage with vertical LED strip lighting displays Taranto's pride and joy, a luxury vehicle parked like a centrepiece in a private showroom. Barry Plant Rowville's Anthony Johnson — who declined to comment on the identity of the owner — said the home 'sets a new benchmark' for the Carrington Estate and had already attracted interest from high-net-worth buyers seeking space, luxury and seclusion. 'It's a commanding presence at the top of the hill,' Mr Johnson said. 'The architecture is modern but still welcoming, and those sunset views are just extraordinary.' Taranto's digital footprint confirms his passion for health and performance, with a now-archived YouTube channel offering three-minute dessert hacks, 'non-diet' fat-loss tips, and commentary on fitness trends such as The Game Changers documentary. While the home was a dream realised, it's now time for a new chapter, with the next owner set to enjoy one of the outer east's most architecturally ambitious family homes.
