Celebrity pilot Jimmy Nicholson and his wife, travel host Holly Kingston have spent $2.6m at Avalon Beach.

The couple’s new four-bedroom, three-bathroom 1980s-built home is set on a tropical sanctuary covering 1323sq m that features tiered landscaping and a pond.

There are open interiors under double-height ceilings, with three separate living zones plus a play room off the kitchen.

It has stacking sliders from all main living zones to its terraces that overlook a firepit and gazebo.

The couple have also installed a baby nursery.

The house was marketed as being a “whisper-quiet setting” but, like all influencers, they intend shouting out their story.
