Entertainer Natalie Bassingthwaighte and her musician former husband, Cameron McGlinchey, have secured an offer for their former Ewingsdale home after they reduced the price.

It was initially listed in August, with $3m to $3.25m hopes, through Su Reynolds and Renee Schofield, of First National.

The price was later adjusted from $2.7m to $2.9m.

The sale price of the Byron Bay hinterland property – which comprises two single-level buildings, a four-bedroom primary residence and a studio – has not been revealed.

Set on 4758sq m, its grounds include a four-car garage and workshop.

The pair paid $2.15m in late 2020 for the 1985-built home, which was repainted after a kitchen refurbishment and renovations to the alfresco area, pool and deck.

Since being on the market, the realestate.com.au listing has had 6895 page views.

The Plantation Drive sale comes 14 months after Bassingthwaighte and McGlinchey announced they had split after 13 years.

They had been bandmates in the band Rogue Traders before marrying in 2011.

The house was bought shortly after they sold their $4m Brighton residence, in bayside Melbourne, during the early stages of the pandemic, in 2020.

The home last traded hands in 2020.


For $2.15m


The home sits on 4758 sqm.


The former Neighbours star, who is in a relationship with Pip Loth, is currently writing a book with Pantera Publishing.

In an interview last month, she said of the book: “It’s a lot, at times, but being vulnerable has to take courage, and it can hurt and it can be torturous at times but, at the same time, you are evolving as a person, helping yourself and then, in turn, helping others.”
