Chris and Bec Judd have sold the Arthurs Seat holiday home they just finished renovating this year.
Rebecca and Chris Judd have sold the Arthur’s Seat holiday home and renovation project they finished only a few months ago.
The power couple, initially known for Chris’s on-field success in the AFL as a two-time Brownlow Medalist and Carlton stalwart, are increasingly making headlines for Bec’s style-savvy and businesses including the Jaggad sportswear label.
Regularly documenting their home renovation projects on social media, the pair announced earlier this year that they had “exciting times ahead” as they listed the “Arthurs seat beauty” in the Mornington Peninsula hinterland.

Listed with a $2.85m-$3m asking price, it is not yet clear what was paid for the property, which records show has been on the market since March — though the Judd’s plans to sell first emerged in February.
Marshall White Stonnington director Ben Vieth handled the sale, and yesterday confirmed the deal but not a price.
However, Mr Vieth said the result had been a happy one for the buyers and sellers.
“It’s a really good result for everyone,” he said.
“And Bec and Chris are excited to announce what’s next, but I’m not privy to that yet.”

The home’s stylish interiors were overseen by Bec Judd.
The renovations were overseen by the Judds and The Melbourne Builder & Co with the gardens designed by Nathan Burkett Landscape Architecture.
While the home was being marketed Mr Vieth described it as “literally a compound which you turn up to on the weekend and it has everything”.
After its sale he added that while the pair would be sad to say farewell to a place they had enjoyed with their family, the fact they had proudly put their name to the home had helped convince the buyers of the quality of the works.
“This was genuinely designed by Bec, and it speaks for itself,” Mr Vieth said.
The home was designed with indoor-outdoor entertaining in mind, to maximise enjoyment of its expansive outdoor living spaces and gardens.
High quality marble was used extensively around the home, setting the standard for renovations in the hinterland hamlet.
Among the landscaping there is a pool, lake, dam and a pavilion.
The property is also close to wineries and beaches.
Records show the Judd’s bought the home for $1,212,500 in 2016, with the Mornington Peninsula experiencing a property market surge during the pandemic that followed.
PropTrack data shows that in May, 2015, the median house price for the municipality was $550,000, but that figure more than doubled to $1.23m by 2022.
However, it has subsequently dropped to $1.085m.
Set among other sprawling homes, the property is perfect as a getaway for peace and privacy.
The home’s landscaping also factored in visuals from above as it created a striking backing for day to day enjoyment or events.
Today, top-end buyer’s agent Matthew Cleverdon from Morell and Koren said “there are opportunities presenting” on the Mornington Peninsula for buyers who were patient.
