Alyssa Healy and Mitchell Starc buy luxury $25m estate

https://www.theage.com.au/property/news/howzat-cricket-stars-alyssa-healy-and-mitchell-starc-buy-luxury-25m-estate-20231116-p5ekgi.html

"... Alyssa Healy and Mitchell Starc have pulled off the high-end deal of the year, paying almost $25 million for a Terrey Hills estate known as Charlotte Park.

The sale price has smashed all Forest District suburb records, topping not only Terrey Hills’ $14.1 million high of a few months ago when GWS Giants deputy chairman Adrian Fonseca sold his spare equestrian estate, but also the almost $16 million sale earlier this year...

Charlotte Park is a worthy record-setter. The 1.8 hectare estate features a recently built residence reminiscent of the homesteads of California’s Napa Valley, which was a major construction and design job by luxury home design and construction firm Cadence & Co led by architect Michael Kilkeary.

Beyond the house, its add-ons include everything from equestrian facilities, stables, a tennis court, swimming pool, cabana, pavilion, at least one fire pit, a fairly impressive chicken coop, a kitchen garden, and some of the suburb’s best district views.

Cashing in on the property is Simone Mills, best known as the mum of Sydney Swans co-captain Callum Mills, and wife of Cadence’s co-founder Darren Mills.
...

The sale price more than doubles a previous suburb high of $12 million when rugby league legend Brad Fittler and partner Marie Liarris sold acreage to Telstra’s former chairman John Mullen.

But the purchase is a bitter-sweet one for Starc and Healy, given it means they have to sell their much-loved North Curl Curl home. The designer digs, built by former Miss Universe Jen Hawkins and her husband, builder Jake Wall, goes under the hammer next weekend for $9 million.
