The walk-in, walk-out nature of the deal, where extras such as furniture are included in the sale, is expected to end up selling for closer to $15 million, but the property portion settled for less than that.
The 27-hectare property was called Elizabeth Farm and Charleville in honor of Jones’ parents, although when the former 2GB presenter bought it for $2.6 million in 2003 it was called Sanford Okas.
