Former Home and Away actress Sam Frost and her fiancé, Australian Survivor star Jordie Hansen, have placed their picturesque bushland retreat in Queensland on the market. The couple is preparing to transition to a more spacious residence to better accommodate their expanding family unit.
Property Details and Valuation
The charming three-bedroom, two-bathroom home is situated in the Doonan locality within Noosa Valley. It boasts a current market valuation of $1.625 million. Frost and Hansen originally acquired the property in 2023 for $1.185 million, subsequently undertaking a comprehensive renovation project. No specific asking price has been publicly listed for the sale at this time.
Renovations and Home Features
The renovation work included the installation of new flooring and a complete interior paint job in creamy, neutral tones. The single-level brick residence features vaulted ceilings and an open-plan layout, enhancing its sense of space and light.
Set on a generous 2.3-acre plot (approximately 0.93 hectares), the property is enveloped by native bushland. Notable amenities include a large outdoor timber entertainment deck, a substantial breakfast bar, and a private office space that can easily be converted into a fourth bedroom. Additional external features comprise a private dam, two rainwater tanks, and solar power with solar hot water systems.
Family Expansion and Relocation Plans
The decision to sell is driven by the couple's need for a larger home. Frost, 37, and Hansen, 30, welcomed their first son, Ted, in March 2022, followed by their second boy, Bobby, in early 2023. The family's growth has prompted this strategic move to a more accommodating property.
Recent Financial Moves
This Queensland sale follows Frost's profitable exit from the Sydney property market. In 2023, she sold her Sydney townhouse for $1.59 million, realizing a significant windfall of approximately $300,000. She had originally purchased that three-bedroom, three-bathroom multi-level home back in 2016 for $1.2 million.
Proximity to Amenities
The Doonan property offers excellent accessibility, located just 15 kilometres from the world-renowned beaches of the Sunshine Coast. This balance of secluded bushland living with proximity to coastal attractions adds to its appeal.
Frost's Professional Ventures
Beyond real estate, Sam Frost continues to expand her professional portfolio. She recently announced the upcoming debut of a new podcast titled Cracking On, which she is co-hosting with her former Home and Away co-star, Sarah Roberts.
The friends, who starred together on the long-running soap opera from late 2017, shared the news on Instagram in March. They described the podcast as focusing on "life's big rejections and redirections," with Frost humorously noting it covers "anything that comes across in life that seems like it just hits you in the nuts."
Podcast Details and Guest Lineup
Frost and Roberts, 41, have already recorded episodes featuring several special guests. The lineup includes fellow soap stars Lynne McGranger and Emily Weir, Australian comedian Nick Giannopoulos, actress Debra Lawrence, radio personality Myf Warhurst, and McLeod's Daughters star Michala Banas.
The pair developed a fast friendship during their tenure on Home and Away, where Roberts portrayed Willow Harris until 2021, and Frost played Jasmine Delaney until her departure in 2022.
