Hamish and Zoe Foster Blake snap up stunning natural retreat
Lego Masters Australia host Hamish Blake and author Zoe Foster Blake have jumped on the celebrity bandwagon heading south of Sydney after spending more than $4 million on a scenic home.
The celebrity couple are the latest to buy into the south coast, following on from recent purchases made by Deborah Hutton and Gerry Harvey in the area.
Their new six-bedroom, five-bathroom home in Jamberoo - about an hour and a half south of Sydney - was last sold in 1996 for $566,000, but has undergone extensive renovations since.
According to the listing, the home is nestled in “some of the most stunning scenery in Australia”, offering “breathtaking views of verdant valleys and hills to a sparkling seascape beyond”.
It also has views of the Pacific Ocean and Lake Illawarra from the outdoor balcony that wraps around the entire house and looks over a croquet lawn.
Spread out across just one level, the home’s interiors include an open plan dining room and gourmet kitchen, a lounge room with a stone fireplace, and bedrooms housed within two separate wings that also come with their own en-suites.
Outside, the 7.47-acre property also includes an orchard with lemon, lime, orange and grapefruit trees, a herb and vegetable garden, and a double-car garage set up as a teenagers retreat complete with a billiard table and separate sitting area.
The home is another large addition to the couple’s real estate portfolio which comes just a year after they dropped a whopping $8.925 million on a home in Vaucluse.
The home was sold to the couple by Ray White’s Michelle Lay.
