Chris Judd’s $1.2m Mornington Peninsula address

Former Carlton star Chris Judd and wife Rebecca have spent $1.2m on a Mornington Peninsula home.

The Judds’ home.

Mystery has surrounded the recent purchase on the Mornington Peninsula by decorated Carlton legend Chris Judd and television presenter wife Rebecca. The location had been unspecified. It has now emerged as a 2ha holding at Main Ridge where they spent $1,212,500. Tucked along a quiet country road, not far from Arthurs Seat, the bush property comes with spring-fed dams, tall trees, ferns and natives. A long vine-clad veranda overlooks the low-maintenance gardens with vegetable patch and an orchard. It sold after five months’ marketing through Tom Barr Smith at Kay & Burton. The couple — who have headed to the Sunshine Coast for pre-Christmas holidays — sold their redundant Prahran townhouse this month. It sold three days after auction when there was a $2.05 million asking price, after being passed in on a $1.9m vendor bid. There were just two interested parties, one moving from Sydney and looking to buy the home complete with furniture, and the other a local investor. The retired Carlton midfielder bought it for $1.66m in late 2007 after he moved from Perth. The four-floor townhouse was a warehouse conversion undertaken in 2006 by Michelle Forsyth of Ethereal Design with skylit staircase and a dumb waiter from top to bottom. The Judds have long moved into their rebuilt Brighton property, which was purchased in 2010 for $2.1m.

Halls’ high hopes for Noosa

The Hall family is yet to sell what’s been marketed as one of the most coveted waterfront land holdings in Noosa. Weycoola is for sale at $3.35m through Jennifer Carr and Brendan Weatherill at Richardson & Wrench. The 1.38ha resort-style retreat comes with a nine-tee golf course and private lake frontage. Located within a 10-minute drive to Hastings Street overlooking Lake Weyba, the five-bedroom residence has made extensive use of timbers and natural stone. With cantilevered walkways linking its various pavilions, it was built for boutique resort manager Gregory Coventry in 2009. It last traded in 2012 when sold for $3.225m by Trade Travel founding directors Grant and Kay McGlashan.

Heine parts with Prahran pad

Netwealth Group joint managing director Matt Heine has sold his three-bedroom, four-bathroom Prahran pad with city views for $2.95m. Located in the inner city, the New York- style multi-level apartment block sits close to Greville and Chapel streets. He paid $1.95m for the Charles warehouse conversion in 2009. The first level, accessed by a lift or timber stairs, comprises two bedrooms and two bathrooms. The home sold through Marshall White agents Richard Mackinnon and Fraser Cahill.

Wilsons’ South Yarra sale

Lija and John Wilson, who helped established the online Indian dating website Trooszi, have sold their three-bedroom South Yarra home. The modernised 1890s Lara Street offering came with a $1.95m price after it was passed in at Kay & Burton auction last month at $1.75m. It last changed hands at $1.242m in 2012 when sold by Jim Gall, co-founder of agribusiness marketing agency Redhanded Creative, and wife, Suzanne, a former publishing executive. They had renovated in 2010 using the architecture studio MAKE and the landscaping horticulturalist Lachie Anderson. Lija Wilson previously worked for Fairfax on RSVP.com.au.
