Jennifer Hawkins and husband Jake Wall have put their Terrigal home on the market, offering a glimpse into the sprawling $6 million escape from public life.
Sitting on nine acres with private lagoon access, the gated property is the picture of seclusion for the celebrity couple and their two children, Frankie Violet, aged 5, and Hendrix, 3.
The former Miss Universe and her ex-footballer husband reportedly purchased the property in 2021 in order to be closer to Hawkins’ parents on the New South Wales north coast. Realestate.com.au reports the pair had plans to knock down the existing structure and build a new home with the aid of Wall’s construction company, J Group Projects. However, a development approval is yet to be secured.
Hawkins and Wall are said to have vacated the property in favour of renting in town with their two children.
The couple is also currently building an ocean-front property in Whale Beach, after knocking down the previous home once owned by opera singer Joan Sutherland. Hawkins and Wall previously sold their $20 million dollar home in the Sydney suburb of Newport in 2019.

The elegant manor home offers a nod to old world glamour, with a columned entryway and lush surrounding gardens. Nestled amid eucalypts and a manicured, rolling lawn, the property boasts nine acres of greenery between the Scenic Highway and Terrigal Lake. While the elevated house offers views out to Avoca beach, the property also allows for walkable access to the lagoon shore from the back yard.
The two-storey home contains seven bedrooms, with the master including a private balcony and water views.
Sun streams in through the home’s east-facing, floor-to-ceiling windows in both the main bedroom and living spaces.
The home is equipped with wood-burning fireplaces in its open formal and casual living rooms. Hardwood floors sit underfoot on the home’s lower level, with high ceilings and French doors adding to the light and airy appeal.
The kitchen combines the old and new, with stone benchtops and a roomy butler’s pantry paired with an induction cooktop and double ovens. The formal atrium-style dining room completes the elegant interiors, providing the perfect light-drenched corner to take in the morning.
Meanwhile, the four bathrooms come with grand views of their own, still with ample privacy in the tree-lined property.
The Terrigal property was listed in October 2021, with real estate agent Mat Steinwede at McGrath Terrigal. The price is available on request. You can view the full listing here.
