Trans-Tasman sport super couple Israel and Maria Folau recently forked out A$6.75 million on a new, six-bedroom, four-bathroom home near Brisbane.
The lavish estate in Brookfield, designed by Shaun Lockyer Architects, features an array of luxurious amenities including a wine cellar, billiards room, media rooms, and a spacious six-car garage. The property sits on a sprawling 1ha estate, boasting an elevated pool overlooking the grounds.
It was sold by Alan and Caroline McCulloch – the couple behind the women’s footwear label Frankie4 – and listed with A$7m to A$8m expectations. The property had more than 10,000 views within its first week on realestate.com.au.
