Renowned for his aggressive batting style, Adelaide product Head has also scored an impressive property portfolio in recent years.
For example, Head and wife Jessica Davies purchased an Adelaide estate for $3.05 million in 2020.
The home is located in Mitcham, in Adelaide's inner-south.
The four-bedroom home sits on 7396 square metres, and features views to the ocean, Adelaide CBD and the plains of Brown Hill Creek.
"A totally unique luxury offering, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be the owners of an exceptional resort-style home on an amazing estate," the property's marketing stated at the time.
"Positioned above Springfield alongside distinguished and significant neighbouring properties, this residence boasts arguably the very best panoramic views across leafy suburbs to the city, to the sea and down the coast.
"Set on stunning landscaped grounds with a series of lovely terraces, the stylish bespoke-built classic home overlooks a property to be envied."
Head also bought a seaside home in Adelaide's Tennyson in 2017, later selling it for $1.85 million in 2022.
According to Cotality records, the four-bedroom home had been purchased for $1.45 million.
The home features open-plan living, a theatre, an alfresco entertainment area with an outdoor kitchen and a swimming pool.
"Architecturally cast to nurture a family with rare flexibility and entertain like few can thanks to its games room, home theatre, pool, spa and a pavilion with piped music and outdoor kitchen; the only thing better than being in this luxurious one-of-a-kind home is walking to the beach through its back gate," the property's marketing stated.
Head also owns a property in Kidman Park, in Adelaide's western suburbs, although few details are known publicly.
