Jennifer Hawkins Lists $6 Million Country Retreat for Sale

Former Miss Universe Jennifer Hawkins has placed her country retreat on the market for $6 million following a decision to abandon redevelopment plans for the property. Located in Terrigal, on the Central Coast of New South Wales, the estate covers 3.3 hectares and features a substantial two-storey mansion equipped with seven bedrooms and four bathrooms.

Details of the Property and Sale

Hawkins and her husband, Jake Wall, purchased the property in 2021. They intended to demolish the existing structure to make way for new developments but never submitted a development approval to the local council, as reported by The Daily Telegraph. The couple is currently leasing a nearby home while the property remains vacant.

Perched on a hill with views of a lagoon, the mansion boasts spacious interiors, high ceilings, and French windows. The property includes a private dining area with glass walls that maximize the picturesque views of the gardens. A separate lounge area serves as a potential media center, while the gourmet kitchen includes a butler’s pantry.

Additional highlights consist of a balcony off the main bedroom that offers stunning water vistas and a family room on the lower level. The expansive grounds encompass a private dam, and the underground parking facility can accommodate up to six vehicles.

Recent Developments and Neighborhood Context

This decision comes shortly after Hawkins sold her ongoing Sydney beachside mega-mansion in an off-market transaction valued at $30 million. Reports suggest that construction at Whale Beach, managed by their company, J Group Projects, continues despite complaints from nearby residents about the disruption caused by ongoing work. The property’s construction has been a contentious issue, with local sources indicating that complaints about traffic and blocked access have arisen during the four years of development.

Although Hawkins and Wall initially planned to reside in the new property, it was primarily intended as an investment. Aerial footage recently published by Daily Mail shows the construction site, which occupies an area significantly larger than neighboring homes.

The original structure, built in the 1950s, has since been demolished to pave the way for a contemporary multi-level residence. Plans for the new home include a basketball court, swimming pool, and a spacious garage. Additionally, the design will feature an internal lift connecting all three floors, five bedrooms, and expansive living areas, all set against breathtaking ocean views.

As the market for luxury properties in New South Wales continues to evolve, Hawkins’ decision to sell her country hideaway reflects a strategic shift in her real estate portfolio. Whether this move will attract potential buyers remains to be seen, but the property certainly offers a unique opportunity for those seeking a prime location in a picturesque setting.
