Sam and Snezana Wood’s spectacular Elsternwick home has hit the market again, with a $6.6m price guide.
The five-bedroom, five-bathroom property is poised for a full listing relaunch in coming weeks.
The couple, who rose to fame on The Bachelor in 2015 and have since built a national lifestyle and wellness brand, purchased the home for $3.31m in 2018.

What followed was a meticulous, years-long renovation with the help of Castley McCrimmon Architects.
From its beautifully restored Victorian facade to a soaring arched hallway, 3.7 metre ceilings and gallery-like interiors, every inch of the home has been crafted for form and function.
Expansive, north-facing living areas flow seamlessly outdoors to a 15 metre gas and solar-heated lap pool, framed by Ironbark timber decking, encaustic tiles, and lush mature gardens.
There’s also an alfresco shower and a fifth toilet — subtle nods to the home’s retreat-like lifestyle.

DOW Real Estate managing director Taylor Dow said it’s the kind of home that stops buyers.
“You walk in, and it’s a series of wow moments, the scale, the finishes, the calm that it carries,” Mr Dow said.
“There’s a soul to it that’s rare.”
The kitchen is a showpiece in itself, finished in Carrara marble with a full butler’s pantry, and fitted with high-end appliances.
A luxe fireplace warms the open-plan living space, while architectural steel-framed doors offer sightlines from lounge to lawn.
The black Carrara marble kitchen features Smeg, Miele and Liebherr appliances, a butler’s pantry, and opens to a north-facing alfresco zone, a true entertainer’s dream.
A soundproof, sunlit gym with treetop views and a built-in sauna brings wellness and luxury together — one of many bespoke inclusions in the $6.6m Elsternwick home.
Upstairs, a sun-drenched gym and sauna overlook the treetops.
A children’s wing with pocket doors and custom joinery, a guest suite with ensuite, and a park-facing main bedroom with a marble ensuite and dressing room complete the flexible family layout.
Originally built in 1900, the home was previously listed under Whitefox but didn’t sell.
Since then, it’s undergone a strategic reset, now offered off-market while a full-scale campaign is readied behind the scenes.
“We’re taking a very deliberate approach,” Mr Dow said.
“This isn’t a home you rush through. The level of detail demands time, and the buyers we’re working with want to appreciate that.”
The 15m solar and gas heated lap pool is framed by Ironbark decking, encaustic tiling and lush gardens, creating a private backyard oasis ideal for family living and entertaining.
Mr Dow said early interest had already been strong.
“There are a lot of prestige homes on the market, but not many that feel like this,” he said.
“You can tell every decision came from a place of care, and that’s what buyers connect with.”
Sam Wood remains active in the fitness space after selling his platform “28 by Sam Wood” for $71m in 2022, while Snezana has recently turned her attention to fashion, launching a jewellery collection in collaboration with Shannakian Fine Jewellery.
Now, the couple’s dream home is ready for its next chapter, and the right buyer.
Private inspections are underway. The relaunch is coming soon.
