In a significant property move, Australian modelling royalty Jennifer Hawkins and her husband, construction mogul Jake Wall, have finalised the sale of their architect-designed Sydney estate, 'The Barn'. The transaction concludes a year-long search for a buyer for their luxurious family home.
The couple initially listed the sprawling Avalon Beach property with ambitious hopes of securing around $14 million. While the final sale price remains officially undisclosed, property insiders and reports suggest the magnificent home changed hands for a figure in the region of $12 million.
A Year on the Market
The journey to the sale was not instantaneous. The unique property spent approximately twelve months on the competitive Sydney real estate market. During this period, the couple adjusted their expectations, demonstrating a pragmatic approach to the sale of their much-loved home.
Inside 'The Barn'
Hawkins and Wall poured their hearts into the creation of their dream home, a stunning structure that masterfully blends rustic charm with modern luxury. The residence boasts an impressive array of amenities designed for both family living and entertainment.
- Spacious Layout: The home features five generous bedrooms and three sleek, modern bathrooms.
- Grand Entertaining: A standout feature is the vast, cathedral-ceilinged living and dining area, complete with a statement fireplace and a bespoke bar—perfect for hosting.
- Gourmet Kitchen: The heart of the home is a state-of-the-art kitchen equipped with top-tier Miele appliances and a spacious butler's pantry.
- Outdoor Oasis: Set on a substantial 1,200 sqm block, the property includes a resort-style swimming pool and meticulously landscaped gardens, offering a private sanctuary.
Having purchased the original land for $2.35 million in 2014, the couple embarked on a custom build, ultimately creating a personal paradise that has now been passed on to its new owners.
Moving On
This sale marks the end of an era for Hawkins and Wall, who have decided to part with their painstakingly created home. The successful deal allows them to close this chapter and look forward to their next adventure, potentially involving another property project, given Mr. Wall's expertise in the construction industry.
