Kirribilli House in Sydney was posted on real estate Web site domain.com.au by private advertiser "John Howard," and was listed for an open house recently, The Courier-Mail in Brisbane reported.

The prank ad extolled the house's features, including "a million dollar garden," recent security upgrades and "neighbors you know and trust."

Accompanying the listing were eight photos, some including Howard, the newspaper report said.

"This house fits a family of five and provides the ultimate abode in which to be relaxed and comfortable," the ad said. "Poised on the top of a hill and the envy of many onlookers ... this two-story house is a residence of power."
