Scott Farquhar and Kim Jackson have doubled down on their favourite Central Coast holiday ground, splashing more than $10 million for a beachfront getaway.
Nick Fordham has listed his penthouse consolidation of two apartments in Surry Hills.Tech billionaire Scott Farquhar and his wife, investment banker Kim Jackson are known for having a somewhat low-key approach to their discretionary property purchases – at least among Australia’s billionaire class.
But as Gina Rinehart stakes her claim to Noosa, Andrew “Twiggy” Forrest to the late Olivia Newton-John’s Gaia Retreat in Byron Bay, and Mike Cannon-Brookes claims a good part of Palm Beach, the Southern Highlands and now Dunk Island, the Farquhar-Jackson family are doubling down on the Central Coast.
Local values have come a long way since Farquhar first bought into the market in 2010. At the time the then 30-year-old, who was living in a two-bedroom apartment in Pyrmont, bought an architect-designed house with five bedrooms on 556 square metres for $3.57 million.Fast-forward to 2022 and the couple’s new digs – a kicked-football distance away – is another designer home with the same number of bedrooms and on the same land size, but for the marked-up price of 200 per cent more.
