Jennifer Hawkins and Jake Wall demolish their Whale Beach property to build new $3million mansion - Daily Mail

Jennifer Hawkins and Jake Wall demolish historic mansion as they begin building their new $3million luxury property on one of Sydney's largest oceanfront estates

Model Jennifer Hawkins and her builder husband Jake Wall have demolished their property at Whale Beach, NSW, after being granted approval to build a $3million mansion in its place. 

The property, known as Rocca Bella, was previously owned by Dame Joan Sutherland and is the largest oceanfront estate on the Northern Beaches. 

Photos published by The Daily Telegraph show the property completely razed to a pile of dirt, which will soon become a sandstone-clad mansion.

Making the most of their 3070sqm area, the couple plan to build a three-storey home panning half of the 50m frontage.

Jennifer and Jake had been forced to amend plans for the mammoth renovation after their initial plans were rejected following objections from neighbours.

Their home was finally reportedly approved by the Northern Beaches Council last week. 

The approved plans include the demolition of the existing house, replacement of the tennis court with a basketball court, and the construction of an infinity pool and four-car garage.

The couple snapped up the $6.9million mansion last September with plans to turn it into a modern estate with designer gardens.

But neighbours complained about the proposed height of their trees, fearing their enviable ocean views would be jeopardised.

The pair's landscaper, Michael Cooke, had to reportedly replace several towering trees with smaller ones to try and keep the couple's neighbours happy.

The spacious home is set on 3,100sqm of land with expansive ocean and coastal views.

Australian model turned property developer Jennifer first entered the real estate market in 2006, two years after she was crowned Miss Universe.

In August last year, she and Jake sold their Newport mansion for a record-breaking $24.5million, to Atlassian co-founder Mike Cannon-Brookes.

The couple built the property on land they'd purchased for $4million in 2014.

However, Jennifer has always been adamant that she and her partner are not 'property flippers', and firmly explained so in an interview with David 'Kochie' Koch on Sunrise in 2020.

Inside Jennifer Hawkins' impressive property portfolio  

Jennifer first entered the property market in 2006, two years after she was crowned Miss Universe.

The beauty first forked out $469,000 for a double-storey house in Merewether, a suburb located in her home city of Newcastle.

She leased out the three-bedroom, two-bathroom property for much of the time it was in her name, before she eventually sold the residence for $782,000 in 2017.

Clearly bitten by the real estate bug, savvy Jennifer added two properties to her portfolio in 2007.

In January of that year, she bought another home in Newcastle's Merewether area for the sum of $620,000.

Like her first property close by, the house was double-storey and featured three bedrooms and two bathrooms.

Jennifer leased out the address for $530 per week, before she sold it in 2015 for $731,000.

Meanwhile, the second property Jennifer purchased in 2007 was a two-bedroom apartment in Sydney's Bondi.

She bought the swanky condo off the plan for $895,000, before living at the address with Jake for several years.

It appeared they tired of the eastern suburbs some time later, selling the property in 2014 for $1.2 million.

By this time, Jennifer and Jake had already begun to build homes, rather than simply buy them.

In 2010, the couple purchased a cliff-side block of land in North Curl Curl for a whopping $1.3 million.

They then partnered with renowned architect Koichi Takada to create a stunning three-storey mansion.

The couple sold the North Curl Curl home in 2014, for a jaw-dropping $4.1 million.

In the meantime, Jennifer and Jake bought another block of land in the same suburb and had already commenced building another incredible mansion.

They paid $1.66 million in 2013 for the block, which had an old weatherboard house on it.

The couple demolished the house, before Jake's company J Group project again collaborated with Koichi Takada to build another home.

Jennifer and Jake sold the North Curl Curl residence for around $5 million in 2016.

The couple then traded up, moving into a mansion in Sydney's exclusive Northern Beaches suburb of Newport.

The home was built on a plot of land bought by the couple for $4 million in 2014.

Jennifer and Jake sold the stunning mansion for a record $24.5million in June this year, six months after listing it on the market.
