Cabarita

<html><body>
The Swans legend Tony 'Plugger' Lockett can add 'King of the Hill' to his list of nicknames.

Well, that's how his new $3.28 million acquisition at Cabarita Beach was marketed.

Lockett, now a specialist forward coach at the Swans, and wife Vicki have been shuffling around their property portfolio in recent months, culminated in the recent purchase on the north coast.

It all started when they listed Roscoe Park, their longtime Southern Highlands retreat, last year.

They secured $4.2 million for the Moss Vale home which was bought by Michelle Cameron, wife of Suncorp executive Michael Cameron.

The 40 hectare estate, that cost $1.2 mililon when Lockett retired the first time, features a six bedroom house and an indoor pool complex.

He took up cattle farming and greyhound racing. 

After the Southern Highlands sale, Lockett had hinted it was time for a sea change as their four daughters were almost all grown up. 

They signalled they didn't intend leaving the Highlands all together however as in another property move, the Lockett's have secured a 750 square metres land parcel in Braemar, a northern village of the Southern Highlands near Mittagong for $820,000. 

The rejigging of their property has included the sale of a two bedroom investment apartment at Mollymook on the NSW south coast.

The apartment in the beachfront Mariners block of six had a $799,000 guide and was snapped up in 23 days through LJ Hooker Ulladulla agent Gary Cox.

Lockett, who scored 1,360 goals in a career of 281 games, starting in 1983 with St Kilda and ending in 2002 with the Swans, sits at less than his playing days weights as a recent strict diet see him go from from 125 kilograms to 97.

He can when tempted use the internal lift at the opulent five-level home at Cabarita Beach.

Plugger won't be up and down the stairs, with an internal lift servicing each level.

Dubbed King of the Hill by Coastal Real Estate Group selling agent Mason Garten, the home has panoramic views from its oceanfront position atop Cabarita Headland.

The luxury home spanning 1090 square metres has five bedrooms, an executive home office, billiards room and an outdoor swimming pool and spa.

A whole level master retreat has its own private lounge, gym, dressing room, ensuite and balcony.

The rooftop entertaining terrace has approvals for creating an entertaining space with bar and cabana.

The couple have owned elsewhere in the area.

Cabarita, then Castlecrag top the week's sales

<html><body>
The NSW north coast Cabarita Beach holiday home of swimming great Susie O’Neill and her doctor husband Cliff Fairley was passed in at weekend auction, but sold soon after for $3 million to a Singapore-based expat.
The Olympic gold medallist bought the <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-nsw-cabarita+beach-124667610" target="_blank">two-storey, four-bedroom beachfront</a> house in 2003 for $2.3 million.
The house has been earning around $25,000 annually as a holiday rental, with Christmas rentals securing around $3200 a week, while off season sits at $1700 a week. 
It would achieve $700 to $750 per week on a permanent rental basis. 
Lorna Savage and Brent Savage of LS Properties had the Cypress Crescent offering having secured $2.95 million early last year for a modern home not far away.
"The astute purchaser may choose to maintain this bit of 'Caba history' and hold onto their fabulous investment as is, or build their architectural dream home to sit comfortably among the existing residences. 
"They will enjoy it for years to come," Savage said. 
The world award-winning, boutique hotel Halcyon House is just a few homes down.
“We preferred the quiet lifestyle and village feel that Cabarita provides,” said O'Neill, who was known by the moniker Madame Butterfly.
“We had closely watched the tightly-held street of Cypress Crescent and after many years had an opportunity to buy in 2003.
“When the kids were young we would spend a lot of long weekends there and most of our holidays enjoying the beach lifestyle, nippers and surfing.”
Swimming’s golden girl and mother of two said it was an intentional move not to buy a holiday house with a pool - with the location just metres from the sand.
The 607 square metre property has a wide veranda overlooking the beach as well as a modern kitchen, two bathrooms and wooden floors.
O’Neill said the decision to sell was a difficult one for her family, but with a busy growing family and many sporting and extra curricular commitments in Brisbane, they were not using the house much.
“It’s time for another family to get the same enjoyment," she said.
The buyer had recently holidayed at the nearby Horizons motel on the strip.
