Design-led developer-builder Lowe Living has unveiled its latest residential development, Jardin House, marking its first foray into Melbourne's blue-chip City of Boroondara.

Located a short walk from Camberwell Junction, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/jardin-house-by-lowe-living-camberwell-335-camberwell-road-camberwell-vic-3124">Jardin House</a> has been designed to appeal to affluent local downsizers and established families seeking a low-maintenance alternative to the large homes that have long defined Camberwell and surrounding suburbs.

The project will comprise a collection of two and three-bedroom apartments ranging from 92 sqm to 280 sqm, alongside a limited number of penthouse residences featuring rooftop terraces spanning more than 100 sqm, with optional private pools.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=146717 project_image_fid=372212]

Lowe Living Co-Founder and Managing Director Tim Lowe said Camberwell represented a natural next step for the developer as it expands into some of Melbourne's most tightly held residential markets.

"Jardin House is an important project for our team as it marks the next evolution of our portfolio into different well-established blue-chip pockets of Melbourne," Lowe said.

"Camberwell, with its incredible walkability, family-led neighbourhood feel and superb access to education and transport, makes it a natural choice for us."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=146717 project_image_fid=372227]

Designed by Tristan Wong Architects, with interiors by Hecker Guthrie and landscaping by Acre, the development takes inspiration from the Art Deco architecture that remains a defining feature of many of Camberwell's established streets.

A curved facade, arched openings, textured brickwork and sculpted forms reference the suburb's architectural heritage, while extensive landscaping softens the building's presence and creates a strong connection to the surrounding tree-lined streetscape.

The project will be set behind a secure gated entrance, with residents arriving through landscaped gardens designed to create a transition between the public realm and private residences.

Inside, the residences feature natural stone and timber finishes, full-height glazing, Miele appliances and generous open-plan living areas designed for long-term owner occupation.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=146717 project_image_fid=372225]

While the apartments themselves have been designed to attract discerning owner-occupiers, it is the amenity offering that sets Jardin House apart from many other boutique projects currently launching across Melbourne.

The centrepiece is a 350 sqm private bathhouse curated in partnership with Aurora Spa &amp; Bathhouse founder Lyndall Mitchell.

The wellness precinct includes mineral pools, hydrotherapy experiences, a Himalayan salt room, sauna, steam room, cold plunge pools and dedicated relaxation spaces, creating what Lowe Living describes as a private wellness retreat exclusively for residents.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=146717 project_image_fid=372222]

The collaboration follows Lowe Living's recent partnership with Aurora at Maison Savoy in Brighton, although Jardin House is the first project to incorporate both indoor and outdoor wellness experiences.

Emma Lowe, Co-Founder and Managing Director of Lowe Living, said wellness was becoming an increasingly important consideration for apartment buyers.

"Collaborating with Lyndall Mitchell from Aurora Spa &amp; Bathhouse for a second time is an intentional nod to creating residences that are more than just homes, but a way to enrich the lives of our residents through wellness and longevity," Lowe said.

The amenity offering is complemented by a Technogym fitness studio, residents' lounge, private dining spaces and concierge services.

The launch comes as developers increasingly target Melbourne's established eastern suburbs, where rising land values, ageing housing stock and growing downsizer demand are creating opportunities for boutique apartment projects.

Lowe said the company expects significant generational wealth transfer across suburbs such as Camberwell in coming years, creating further demand for luxury apartment living.

"Camberwell is a blue-chip suburb where homes regularly transact for multiple millions of dollars," he said.

"The generational change of wealth in these locations expected in the coming years is significant, so we see an opportunity to create exclusive residences that appeal to older families and downsizers in order to meet this demand."

Apartments at Jardin house start from $1,195,000. The project forms part of Lowe Living's near-$1 billion portfolio of new developments across Melbourne.

Lowe Living launches Jardin House in Camberwell

As <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/north-sydney-nsw-2060">North Sydney</a> continues its transition from a commercial centre into a more layered residential and lifestyle precinct, a new generation of apartment developments is reshaping expectations around scale, amenity, and long-term liveability.

Improved transport connections through the Victoria Cross Metro, continued investment in dining and public spaces, and a constrained supply of new luxury apartments have sharpened demand for homes that combine proximity to the CBD with the privacy and outlook traditionally associated with harbourside houses.

At 177 Walker Street, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/aland">ALAND</a>’s new apartment development <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-walden-north-sydney-177-walker-street-north-sydney-nsw-2060">The Walden</a> enters the market with a distinctly residential approach to high-rise living. The 30-level tower will deliver 161 residences, ranging from one-bedroom apartments through to sub-penthouses and a full-floor penthouse, all oriented to capture uninterrupted views across Sydney Harbour, the Opera House, and out toward the Pacific Ocean.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134323 project_image_fid=6395]

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/rothelowman">Rothelowman</a>, the project takes advantage of the site’s natural topography and elevated position above the harbour. Rather than relying on density alone, the architecture focuses on outlook, orientation, and spatial flow, with every apartment occupying a corner position to maximise natural light and cross ventilation.

Rothelowman says the site itself shaped much of the architectural response.

“The site has a long history in terms of its inevitable transformation and when we came in, we took inspiration from the idea of reestablishing a sense of the site’s natural terrain and fall. Our scheme aims to integrate with the terrain and the landscape, using the undulating site to slowly reveal glimpses and views of the harbour. The rotation of the tower off grid means every apartment has a view and is naturally cross ventilated. The building's colour palette is quintessentially Sydney, with bronze and sandstone and a luminescent green colour in the glass, making it very earthy and grounded in its location.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134323 project_image_fid=6399]

Inside the residences, the emphasis moves toward larger-format living typically associated with standalone homes. Kitchens sit at the centre of the apartments, connecting directly to open-plan dining and living areas before extending outward into expansive winter gardens and balconies. Calacatta marble, bespoke joinery, integrated appliances, and custom metal detailing are used throughout, while three distinct interior palettes, Terrace, Opera, and Harbour, allow buyers to personalise the spaces without compromising the architectural consistency of the project.

The larger residences place particular attention on separation between entertaining and private zones. In many apartments, master suites occupy the outer corners of the floorplates, allowing bedrooms to benefit from floor-to-ceiling glazing and harbour outlooks independent of the living spaces. Dressing rooms and ensuites continue the material palette through fluted detailing, freestanding baths, and layered stone finishes.

Rothelowman says the design intent centred on creating homes that feel enduring rather than transient.

“Our philosophy is all about the way people live in these spaces, and we wanted to create homes that reflect the quality of life in this unique Sydney location. The apartments showcase expansive living spaces that are generous, sophisticated, and bold, with the ability to connect with views throughout each apartment.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134323 project_image_fid=353235]

A separate four-storey amenity building known as The Pavilion expands the residential offering beyond the apartments themselves. Positioned alongside the tower, the building consolidates wellness, recreation, and social spaces into a dedicated resident retreat. Facilities include a 20-metre rooftop pool and sundeck, sauna, spa, ice bath, wellness studio, gymnasium, concierge service, wine cellar, residents’ lounge, private dining spaces, and dedicated co-working areas with meeting rooms and boardroom facilities.

The amenity mix reflects the buyer profile emerging in North Sydney, where owner-occupiers and downsizers are increasingly prioritising convenience, apartment scale, and long-term usability over purely investment-driven decisions.

The Walden also represents a significant milestone for ALAND, marking the company’s first major move into Sydney’s inner-city luxury apartment market after more than two decades delivering large-scale residential communities across Greater Sydney. Founder Andrew Hrsto says the Walker Street site stood apart because of both its positioning and its rarity.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134323 project_image_fid=6390]

“As a company, we had been searching for a site in one of Sydney’s blue-chip locations, spanning the Eastern Suburbs, the Sydney CBD and the North Shore, and when we had the opportunity to purchase this site, we immediately recognised that it could be something iconic.”

At launch, The Walden recorded more than $103 million in sales, with buyers drawn to the project’s harbour positioning, apartment scale, and proximity to the Metro, which now connects North Sydney to Barangaroo in three minutes and Martin Place in five.

ALAND has commenced construction, and is expecting a completion date in 2028.

The ACT will become the first jurisdiction in Australia to abolish stamp duty for all first home buyers, with no income caps and no property price thresholds from 1 July.

The move, announced as part of the ACT Budget, completes a key election commitment from the Barr Government and removes what Chief Minister Andrew Barr described as one of the biggest barriers to entering the housing market. The reform forms part of the ACT's long-running transition away from transaction taxes and towards a broader-based property tax system.

"This budget marks a major milestone in our long-term tax reform program," Barr said, adding that the government had maintained a sustained focus on removing barriers to home ownership. He said stamp duty had long been one of the largest upfront hurdles facing buyers and that from July, "that barrier is gone" for first home buyers in the Territory.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=139989 project_image_fid=350986]

The changes come alongside a range of measures designed to encourage new housing supply, including support for the delivery of so-called "missing middle" housing such as terraces, townhouses and low-rise multi-unit developments.

The announcement has renewed debate around whether the ACT's approach could provide a blueprint for improving housing affordability nationally.

New research from OurTop10.com.au, conducted by Primara Research, suggests the Territory's decade-long reform agenda has produced outcomes unmatched elsewhere in Australia.

While stamp duty costs have increased by an average 67 per cent nationally over the past decade, the ACT has recorded growth of just 15 per cent, the lowest increase of any jurisdiction.

The Territory has also emerged as one of the strongest performers on housing delivery. Based on population-weighted housing targets, the ACT is sitting less than one per cent behind its target. Victoria is the next closest at seven per cent behind, while the national average sits 25 per cent below target. New South Wales is tracking 39 per cent behind.

The latest reform removes one of the final barriers facing first home buyers in Canberra.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=139989 project_image_fid=359152]

The average Australian home buyer currently pays $61,714 in stamp duty. In the ACT, that figure is $38,399 despite the Territory having the third-highest median house price in the country.

Until now, the ACT's first home buyer concession scheme only applied to purchases up to $1.02 million, around $51,000 below Canberra's median house price of $1.071 million. In practical terms, many first home buyers were unable to access the median-priced home without losing the concession.

From July, those restrictions disappear.

Every first home buyer in the ACT will pay no stamp duty, regardless of income or purchase price.

Canberra remains one of Australia's most expensive housing markets, with dwelling values increasing 82 per cent over the past decade. However, that growth ranks only 11th among Australia's 15 major housing markets, suggesting affordability pressures have been less severe than in many other parts of the country.

Simon Ma, CEO of OurTop10.com.au, said the latest reforms recognise that many first home buyers have simply outgrown thresholds set years ago.

"Many first home buyers aren't just looking for a way onto the ladder, they want a home their family can actually live in," Ma said.

"In a market where the median house price is over a million dollars, a concession scheme that cuts out at $1.02 million was never going to get them there.

"Removing the ceiling entirely means ACT first home buyers can now pursue the home they actually want, rather than limiting themselves to a price point designed for a very different market."

Whether other states follow remains to be seen. But at a time when most jurisdictions are struggling to improve affordability while also increasing housing supply, the ACT has quietly become the national test case for both.

15% stamp duty growth. Just 1% off the national housing target. Zero stamp duty for FHBs. Is the ACT the blueprint for the great Australian dream?

ACT abolishes stamp duty for first home buyers

A rooftop pool and spa overlooking the Brisbane CBD, private dining spaces, expansive landscaped gardens and a residents' lounge are set to crown <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/callista-on-park-west-end-49-mollison-street-west-end-qld-4101">Callista on Park</a>, the final residential building within Brisbane's West Village precinct.

The rooftop amenity collection has been designed as an extension of the lifestyle already established throughout West Village, providing residents with a series of indoor and outdoor spaces that capitalise on the building's elevated position above West End.

A swimming pool and heated spa form the centrepiece of the rooftop offering, surrounded by landscaped gardens developed through a collaboration between developer Sekisui House and ASPECT Studios. The design incorporates expansive lawn areas surrounded by English garden-inspired planting.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134800 project_image_fid=370648]

Residents will also have access to two barbecue and outdoor dining areas positioned to take advantage of views across Brisbane's skyline, neighbouring Mollison Park, and the surrounding inner-city landscape.

For larger gatherings, the rooftop includes a private dining room centred around a substantial stone island bench, complete with a full kitchen and a 10-seat dining table set beneath four-metre-high ceilings. The space has been designed to overlook both the rooftop gardens and the Brisbane CBD skyline.

A separate residents' lounge provides an additional indoor retreat connected to the broader rooftop amenity offering, creating another space for residents to work, relax or entertain guests.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134800 project_image_fid=370647]

The attention to detail extends beyond the rooftop.

Upon arrival, residents will enter through a lobby featuring a bespoke ceiling light installation developed in collaboration between Sekisui House and Alcorn Middleton Architecture. The arrival experience is complemented by private resident mailboxes and carefully considered interior finishes designed to reflect the premium positioning of the building.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134800 project_image_fid=372541]

The amenity offering forms part of Callista on Park, the final residential release within the decade-long transformation of the former Peters Ice Cream Factory site into West Village, one of Brisbane's most established mixed-use communities.

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/rothelowman">Rothelowman</a> and being delivered by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/builders/hutchinson-builders">Hutchinson Builders</a>, Callista represents the most premium residential offering within the masterplanned precinct.

Construction is now entering its final stages, with scaffolding beginning to come down and completion expected in the first quarter of 2027.

Prices for the three-bedroom plus MPR apartments start from just over $2.6 million.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134800 project_image_fid=351535]

Callista will mark the final opportunity to purchase within West Village, where residents have direct access to more than 35 retail, dining, wellness and medical operators including Harris Farm Markets, Woolworths, Function Well and Goodlife Health Clubs, Metro Arts, and a growing collection of restaurants and cafés.

Located just 800 metres from the Brisbane CBD, the precinct also places residents within walking distance of South Bank, West End's dining scene, riverfront parklands and major public transport connections.

For Sekisui House, which has delivered more than two million homes globally, Callista serves as the concluding piece of the West Village masterplan, bringing together the precinct's heritage character, parkland setting and emphasis on walkability in a final collection of larger-format residences.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/wahroonga-nsw-2076">Wahroonga</a>’s enduring appeal has long been tied to its balance of bushland, established amenity, and access to some of Sydney’s most respected education and healthcare institutions.

Along Fox Valley Road, that combination is becoming increasingly sought after by buyers looking to remain connected to the Upper North Shore lifestyle while prioritising walkability, wellbeing, and convenience.

Developer Capital Corporation's initial vision of a 62-hectare site on Fox Valley Road was that they could create their own walkable community, bordered by&nbsp;more than 25 hectares of bushland and adjoining Coups Creek.

<img alt="Wahroonga" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="b84917a1-0d75-49b9-888c-ddf7ebfd6692" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/NEW2026_Wahroonga_Walkway.gif?VersionId=Gk3_xi5ssYfalmwuQQ5umQakddceC31j" />

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-residences-at-wahroonga-estate-169-fox-valley-road-wahroonga-nsw-2076">The Residences at Wahroonga Estate</a> draws directly on the area’s natural landscape, with walking trails and green corridors linking into sections of Lane Cove National Park. The surrounding network of bushwalks, cycling tracks, and reserves reinforces the suburb’s long-standing reputation as one of Sydney’s most nature-oriented residential pockets, while still maintaining close ties to village retail and transport infrastructure.

The address places residents within minutes of Wahroonga and Turramurra villages, where cafés, local grocers, boutiques, and everyday services support a highly localised lifestyle. Popular nearby venues including The Fox Café and Breeze Valley Café provide easy options for morning coffee or casual dining, while longstanding retailers such as IGA Wahroonga Fresh and Novella Fine Books continue to anchor the area’s village character.

&nbsp;

Healthcare access remains one of the defining locational advantages of the estate. Sydney Adventist Hospital, known locally as The San, sits directly adjacent and is one of the largest and most respected private hospitals in New South Wales. The hospital precinct incorporates specialist medical services, radiology, physiotherapy, and outpatient care, contributing to growing buyer demand from downsizers and owner-occupiers seeking long-term convenience and peace of mind.

Research commissioned by Capital Corporation found that health and wellbeing considerations are increasingly influencing downsizing decisions, particularly among buyers wanting to remain within familiar neighbourhoods while accessing medical infrastructure more easily.

Education has also historically underpinned demand across Wahroonga and the broader Upper North Shore. The estate sits close to several of Sydney’s leading private and independent schools, including Knox Grammar, Abbotsleigh, Barker College, Pymble Ladies’ College, Ravenswood School for Girls, and Loreto Normanhurst. Co-educational options including Wahroonga Adventist School and Sydney Adventist School further strengthen the area’s appeal to established families looking for long-term schooling pathways within a tightly held catchment.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135247 project_image_fid=262183]

Transport connectivity supports the suburb’s liveability without compromising its quieter residential character. Wahroonga and Turramurra train stations provide direct rail access into the Sydney CBD, while the nearby Pacific Highway and M1 motorway strengthen links across the North Shore and broader metropolitan area. At the same time, the heavily treed streetscape and low-density character continue to distinguish the precinct from more urbanised parts of Sydney.

The Residences at Wahroonga Estate forms the first stage of <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/capital-corporation">Capital Corporation</a>’s broader masterplanned vision for the precinct, delivered alongside the Seventh-day Adventist Church.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135247 project_image_fid=364995]

Now under construction by Gold Star iCIRT-rated builder <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/builders/dasco-australia">DASCO</a>, The Residences at Wahroonga Estate will deliver a collection of one, two, and three-bedroom apartments priced from $990,000, with completion anticipated in 2027.

Like father like son, Michael Palmer has been busy buying prestige Brisbane property.
The mining entrepreneur's scion has spent $5.1 million on a Fig Tree Pocket riverfront home.
It is just two doors along from his dad, the mining entrepreneur Clive Palmer.
The one hectare property sits across the road from Michael's current west Brisbane acreage which cost $1.85 million in 2016.
The five bedroom home has a 6,000 bottle temperature-controlled wine cellar, gym and sauna and a tennis court and pool.
The property hit the market this time two years ago and initially sought over $7 million.
Earlier this year Clive Palmer spent $7.5 million Rivergum Retreat, the Fig Tree Pocket home of Linc Energy founder Peter Bond who had wanted $12 million when it first went up for sale back in 2016.
Bond had spent $9.5 million in 2008.
The 28 year old Michael's other properties include a couple of houses in Paradise Point, where there are five homes owned by the Palmer clan on the dress circle King Arthurs Court.
Clive owns a $9.5 million waterfront across three lots totalling 2,420 sqm.

One of Sydney's most telegenic couples, models Roberta Pecoraro and her model and designer boyfriend Jono Friend have bought their first property together.
The modelling power couple, who earlier this year collaborated on a UNIQLO then Emporio Armani campaign, paid $820,000 for a one bedroom Bellevue Hill apartment.
They settled on the <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/sold/property-apartment-nsw-bellevue+hill-128689302" target="_blank">Art Deco unit</a> shortly before heading overseas to the catwalks of Europe.
Its a cosy 60 square metre Victoria Road apartment that sits on the top floor of the late 1930s block Reddington.
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2018/10/15/pec2.jpg" alt="">
Last traded for $717,500 in 2015, the one bedroom apartment features a sunroom.
The couple have been together four years. Friend runs menswear clothing line DearFriend &amp; Co, a brand he set up with model mate Adin Taylor.
They have a store on Bondi's Gould Street.
It's Friend's first property, but Roberta's second foray into the Sydney property market.
She became a renvestor last year, spending $588,888 on a one bedroom Annandale apartment which she promptly leased at $450 a week.
Pecoraro's sister Jess, a popular Sydney fashion stylist, has been active in the market too.
Jess recently sold the Annandale home she shared with husband Steven Monaco.
Earlier this year they sold their one bedroom North Bondi apartment for $1,625,000.
"It’s always fun working together—she’s my best friend," Roberta said in an interview with Who What Wear earlier this year. 
A budding dancer, Roberta fell into modelling at the age of 17.
She attended Sydney Fashion Weekend where she was scouted through the Chic Model Management pop up.
Friend is also represented to Chic Model Management.
Pecoraco opened Australian Fashion Week earlier this year, having opened it initially last year for the Dion Lee show.
This year in Australia she walked for Camilla and Marc, We Are Kindred, Macgraw and Hansel and Gretel among others.
She says she'd love to walk for Gucci one day.
The two sisters grew up around fashion. Their mother was a designer in Italy until they migrated to Sydney.

Manly Sea Eagles skipper Dale Cherry-Evans and partner Vessa Rockliff have quietly upgraded in the northern beaches.
It comes as Channel 7 reported that if Neil Henry is appointed Sea Eagles coach to replace Trent Barrett then captain Daly Cherry-Evans will seek a release to leave the club.
The couple seem set to move almost on the beach, shifting from their inland cottage also in Curl Curl.
Their $3.4 million designer home purchase opposite Curl Curl Beach had been listed with $3.7 million hopes by Emma Lo Russo, the older sister of local Channel 7 House Rules presenter Joh Griggs, and whose Emma's husband Paul.
The architect-designed home was constructed in the early 2000s having paid $330,000 in 1993.
“We designed the house for great entertaining," Russo told the Manly Daily when it was listed in June.
"You can cook from the kitchen and see the kids playing in the pool," Russo said.
Cherry-Evans and Rockliff have three kids after welcoming their third daughter late last year.
The four bedroom home has an open plan living and dining area with a sunken lounge room, an upper level sitting room and an alfresco deck which accompanies the raised 10 metre salt-chlorinated swimming pool.
Stone Real Estate Dee Why agent Toby Martin sold the home in 94 days.
The home sits just 500 metres away from the couple's former residence.
They've been based in the single level, four bedroom home since 2014 when they paid $1,355,000, shortly before the birth of their second child.
That too features a saltwater swimming pool.
Cherry-Evans is still waiting for a buyer for his redundant Gold Coast home he bought when he agreed to join the Titans back in 2015, only to backflip on the deal and sign a bumper deal with Manly.
The 1970s beach house in Mermaid Beach quickly became a $1,300 a week rental, having cost $1.45 million.
Evans is back in green and gold after a four year exile. He will be captaining the Prime Ministers XIII in his national football comeback against Papa New Guinea this weekend.

A former Newtown neighbourhood bakery, listed with $3.3 million price hopes, has been sold for $3.75 million by Alison Chamberlain and Stephen from <a href="https://lorriegrahamblog.com/original-finish/">Original Finish</a>.
They are downsizing and recalibrating their business.
The Hennings Lane has been a working upholsterer’s and antiques workshop for the last three decades. It sold pre-auctioned through William Phillips at BresicWhitney.

Richard Uechtritz, the former managing director at electronic retailer JB Hi-Fi, seems set to create a Byron Bay compound.
Spending $4.17 million, he's bought Australia's most easterly home on Brownell Drive overlooking Wategos Beach.
The property adjoins his current Byron retreat which cost $6.5 million in 2007. Now he has 1,435 sqm.
LJ Hooker Byron Bay agent Liam Annesley secured the sale. 
Uechtritz was the boss at JB Hifi from 2000 to 2010 before stepping down and joining Seven Group Holdings.
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2018/10/18/uet1.jpg" alt="">
Love &amp; Hatred jewellery designer Giovanni D'Ercole returned recently to Wategos paying $4.3 million for a hillside Christine Vadasz-redesigned 1960s timber-clad cottage.
D'Ercole has been up in the Byron Bay hinterland in recent times.
Wategos last beachfront reserve sale when when Melbourne-based former Swisse Vitamins owner Stephen Ring bought from the art collector and onetime Skilled Engineering group boss Greg Hargrave.
The oceanfront reserve property had been on and off the market for seven years before its recent sale through Byron Bay Property agent Vicky Innes.
Whalewatchers with its dress circle position overlooking Wategos Beach has been listed by the Sydney-based Salmat co-founder Peter Mattick and his wife Pam who have enjoyed the ocean views for 14 years.
<div class="m_6216511519069478328gmail-assets">
Set on eastern end of beachfront Marine Parade, the home is spread over two levels with a central pool.
The Mattick's bought the 803 sq m holding property in 2004 for $3.9 million before commissioning architect Tim Moon. No expense was spared on its finishes including copper, basalt stone and spotted gum floor that integrate the house. 
Listing agent Liam Annesley, of LJ Hooker Byron Bay, says a property like this "is nearly impossible to find on the east coast of Australia."
He's hopeful it will break the $15.68 million record set in 2006 by the house at the other end of the parade, which was bought by property developer Danny Goldberg who seeks $25,000 a week rental for Wategos House.

RECENTLY retired Socceroos captain Mile Jedinak is selling his long-held Sydney investment apartment on the upper north shore.
The St Ives unit almost book-ended his Socceroos career as he bought the apartment from the ­developer in 2009, shortly after making his international debut.
He captained the Socceroos in the 2014 and 2018 World Cups, representing Australia 79 times.
Jedinak, who is now based in the English Midlands with wife Natalie and their three boys, paid $570,000 for the unit.
He currently plays for championship club Aston Villa.
The St Ives offering, set in the Meriton-built Loralea Gardens complex, has two bedrooms and two bathrooms. There is 90sqm of ­internal space.
It has a north-facing lush tree-lined outlook from its 13sqm balcony that runs the full width of the Memorial Ave unit.
The complex with landscaped gardens features a fitness centre with lap pool, spa and sauna. Meriton Group project sales manager Jason Miao has the listing with $850,000 to $900,000 price guidance. It is currently tenanted at $650 a week.

St Ives apartments have soared 47 per cent in price in the past five years, according to CoreLogic, with 8 per cent annual compound growth. The median price for two-bedroom units is $895,000, with a 3.7 per cent rental yield.
Jedinak began his career at Sydney United, with his performances earning him a trial, leading to a contract, with the Central Coast Mariners. The apartment was secured just after Jedinak left the Mariners to join Turkish club Gençlerbirligi.
Two years later the Camperdown-born midfielder moved to the English Premier League where he spent five seasons at London club Crystal Palace.
He made his debut for the Socceroos in 2008 and captained the Socceroo's in the 2014 and 2018 World Cup finals. 
He became a fan favourite at Crystal Palace when he scored a late winner in the final game of the season to secure a playoff place.
He captained the side to a playoff final win, taking them to the Premier League, and winning the player of the year in the process.

Retired Socceroo captain Mile Jedinak lists St Ives investment

There was movement on the title of the eastern suburbs trophy home of Tom Haikin and his wife, Lilly, as the Max Brenner’s Australian franchisee went into voluntary liquidation last week.
It’s been reputedly sold for more than $30 million, although the two caveats lodged on title involved unregistered loans, and were not from a mystery buyer.
The title had four formal mortgages, with the NAB as first mortgagee on the 3000 square metre holding which last traded in 2010 for $23 million.
Wentworth Capital is the second mortgagee, then Citadel Group, then Glenn Wein’s Zajasam Pty Ltd.
Last week, Yael and Amnon Weiler placed a caveat on the title pursuant to a late 2016 loan agreement. Prospa Advance also placed a caveat last week over a late 2017 loan.
The property was being offered to buyers for $33 million earlier this year.
