On March 26th, Jennifer Hawkins and her husband Jake Wall have poured $30 million into a massive cliff-top mansion in Whale Beach, north of Sydney. The luxury home, about 41 kilometers from the city center, kicked off five years ago and could be worth $45 million once. Finished. Recent aerial photos show big progress, with the four-level main house now featuring sealed roofing and glass walls. They've completed a manicured garden, pool deck, basketball half-court, and an infinity pool with stunning views over the central coast. Locals in this exclusive coastal spot aren't thrilled about the build. Construction trucks have blocked narrow streets and driveways for hours, damaged lawns, and created constant noise in what used to be a peaceful neighborhood. The couple sold the property last year in an off-market deal to a neighbor, David Applebee, for $30 million. His company filed paperwork, and he's already tearing down a nearby lot to make the

estate even bigger. Work continues on terrace areas next to the main house, promising an even grander set up overlooking the ocean. You've been listening to entertainment and celebrity news today, AI-powered pop culture coverage.
