There are potentially unrevealed new residential plans by Jennifer Hawkins-Wall and Jake Wall on the horizon.

They have quietly listed their Terrigal, Central Coast acreage that has rolling lawns down to Avoca Lake. Mat Steinwede at McGrath Terrigal has the listing.

Their $6m purchase of the 3.3ha holding was secured in 2021 and settled in mid-2022.

At the time, the couple had advised agents they were on the lookout for a Central Coast home which would put daughter, Frankie Violet, and son, Hendrix, closer to their grandparents based in the ­Newcastle-Lake Macquarie ­district.

The celeb couple remain leasing nearby on the coast.

The redundant Scenic Highway property comes with an empty seven-bedroom old-English style manor, one of only a handful bordering the water. The local chatter had been that they planned to knock down the house and build using Jake Wall’s award-winning construction company, J Group Projects.

But there’s not been any development approval.

Meanwhile, their four-year build of the mega mansion at Whale Beach on the Rocca Bella estate continues.

But the couple do not intend to live in the property, with a Christmas Eve 2021 caveat revealing the home has been sold via a put and call option to a mystery buyer, reputedly for a little under $30m.

The initial purchasing paperwork was lodged by lawyers Mills Oakley signed by finance entrepreneur Simon Tripp who had no ­beneficial interest in the purchasing company.

It’s only one of a handful of homes bordering the water.


They paid $6m for the property in 2021.


Now the company is directed by David Appleby from Speed and Stracey Lawyers who are continuing to shield the buyer’s identity. The mystery buyer added the adjoining Rayner Rd lot in 2023 for $7m.

The original home on a double block, once owned by the opera singer, Joan Sutherland, cost $6.95m in 2020.
