Guy Sebastian has given fans a rare look inside his $10 million Sydney that sparked a bitter years-long war with his neighbours.
The 44-year-old singer took to Instagram to share a tongue-in-cheek video tour of his Maroubra mansion via drone.
The former Voice Australia judge showed off his living room, gym, kitchen and backyard in a clip titled POV you bought a drone but might return it…
The house tour took a chaotic turn as the recording device repeatedly fell and hit the Australian Idol alum.

Many fans found the 18-second video amusing, with some suggesting Sebastian should keep the drone and create a video series.
“Packaging should come with a warning, ‘Don’t try this at *home*’”, one person joked.
“The flinching is what makes it so funny,” said another.
“Should have titled this video ‘18 seconds of guy getting attacked by a drone’ Too good lol!!,” a third person wrote.
A fourth user jokingly suggested the musician should keep the drone and “do a whole video series called ‘Crashing the Sebast’”.

The Battle Scars singer and his wife Jules forked out $3.1m for the property in 2013 and spent close to three years constructing their “dream home”. Building costs are said to be around $7m.
Nicknamed ‘Fort Guy’ by locals, the massive estate has been at the centre of a battle with his neighbour in the area for several years.
Various claims have allegedly passed between singer Sebastian and his immediate neighbour Phillip Hanslow since 2017, of which some have ended up in court.
His home sits on 1400 sqm, while Hanslow has a 325 sqm block.
“We didn’t grow up in houses like this,” Sebastian has said of the home.
“Every day, we (he and wife Jules) look at each other and say, ‘Why is this us?’
“But there is beauty in feeling like an alien in your own space. You never fail to appreciate it.”

The property previously had a much smaller home on site, which was knocked down to make way for Sebastian’s “dream home”.
It seems his neighbour doesn’t share the same appreciation.
“He’s (Sebastian) paranoid about security and has a large security camera outside so anywhere I go outside on the property, he can see,” Mr Hanslow has claimed.
“We’re going to have to sell. We’re too old for this.”
Sebastian said of the dispute, which had been going for more than five years, he wished he had never fallen out with his neighbour.
“It is something that is out of my hands,” Sebastian told The Daily Telegraph. “I have had to put up with a lot of things that have been said … but I can’t keep fighting all of that anymore.”
