Tones and I: Singer buys second Mount Eliza mansion for $7.08m

A basement lounge and bar looking into the pool — and a $150K oven. This sure ain’t van life anymore.

Pop star Tones and I has purchased another home in Mt Eliza.

Pop star Tones and I has snapped up another multimillion-dollar property on the Mornington Peninsula, dropping $7.08m on a luxurious Mount Eliza pad with a dazzling basement lounge.

Title documents name the Dance Monkey singer — who also goes by Toni Watson — as the buyer of the OTT mansion with a pool and spa, and marble kitchen with a $150,000 oven.

The property, which has coastal views looking towards the city skyline, was first listed in 2020 for $8m-$8.8m.

CoreLogic records show it sold for $7.08m earlier this year.

It is within walking distance of another property the musician purchased last year for $5.1m in the same suburb and a short drive from Frankston’s Lakewood Estate, where she is believed to have secured a humble $800,000 home for a friend or family member.

In December, she also joined a long list of celebrities who own property in sought-after Byron Bay, after splashing $3.3m on a home on the town’s outskirts.

The latest Mount Eliza purchase marks an incredible few years for the busker-turned-megastar, who grew up in nearby Mount Martha.

The five-bedroom, five-bathroom property is set on a whopping 2500sq m block and has more than 800sq m of living space across two main levels, plus a tennis court, sunken fire pit and bar.

It also has a basement to rival the most indulgent of hotels, with colour-changing light fixtures, a wine lounge, glass doors that open onto a 3000-bottle wine cellar, and an underwater view of the pool.

Her worldwide hit Dance Monkey, which was released in 2019, broke the ARIA Singles Chart record for most weeks at No. 1 after 24 weeks in the top spot.

It also reached No. 1 in more than 30 other countries and became the first Aussie song to top streaming platform Spotify’s prestigious Global Chart.

The singer famously lived out of her van, and then in a hostel rent-free, in 2018 after quitting her retail job at Southland to move to Byron Bay, where she was discovered as an artist.

Wine anyone?

A marble kitchen is one of the home’s main features.

There’s also a bar area.

This week, Tones and I was beamed onto the Ellen DeGeneres show from Australia to sing her 2020 hit Fly Away.

The singer posted her glee at the gig on Twitter, saying: “Look papa, we’re on @TheEllenShow.”

She is currently touring Australia and will perform at Melbourne’s Palais Theatre on April 23 and 24, before heading to Hobart, Brisbane, Cairns, Adelaide and Sydney.
