Final touches reveal luxury details of Jennifer Hawkins and Jake Wall's $30m estate

Jennifer Hawkins and Jake Wall's development company J Group Projects are putting the finishing touches on their $30 million mega mansion in Whale Beach.

A sneak peek at the latest phase of the Rocca Bella project reveals the lavish residence's outdoor amenities, including a travertine swimming pool and oceanside basketball half-court.

The artificial turf court includes a built-in basketball hoop with a sandstone feature wall providing the backdrop.

There is no expense spared on the luxurious infinity-edge swimming pool, which is entirely cast in travertine stone.

Travertine and sandstone are a feature of the show-stopping fire pit that cantilevers over the clifftop and takes in spectacular ocean views.

The fire pit has an adjoinng plunge spa.

An expansive lawn stretches along the front of the block with landscaped gardens, including towering palm trees.

Rocca Bella, developed by J Group Projects, has been in the works for five years.

In 2020, former Miss Universe Hawkins and Wall, a carpenter by trade, paid $6.95 million for the 3073-square-metre Whale Beach property, which was once owned by the legendary Australian operatic soprano Dame Joan Sutherland.

The demolition of the original 1950s home at 24-26 Rayner Road was completed in 2021 to make way for the construction of Rocca Bella.

The mega mansion was reportedly sold to a mystery buyer for about $30 million.

It is the largest oceanfront estate on Sydney's Northern Beaches.

Plans reveal the three-storey house will include an internal lift connecting the three floors.

There are five bedrooms, multiple living areas, a large open-plan kitchen, a living and dining space with a wine room and garaging for five cars.

The master wing features the main bedroom, complete with a private balcony, an oversized en-suite, and a walk-in robe.

Other features include a gym, a bowling alley, a home theatre and a sauna.

A prominent feature of the build is a trademark use of sandstone, which is featured on the exterior walls of the building.

Last year, the neighbouring tri-level house at 30 Rayner Road was demolished to make way for a new dwelling rumoured to be another part of the compound constructed by J Group Projects.

Plans reveal a three-storey dwelling with two ensuite bedrooms, multiple living areas, a kitchen, an internal lift and a padel court.

J Group Projects is listed as the client on the development application.

Records show demolition work began on November 1, and the project has an estimated cost of $2,213,662.

Cotality records reveal the 1980s-era four-bedroom property sold for $7 million in March 2023.

Last year, industry sources told View.com.au that it is believed that the purchaser was the same buyer as Hawkins and Wall's $30 million development next door.

The source said, "I believe it is being built to house the cars on behalf of the new owner. It is all part of one development.

"Downstairs will have a padel ball court, and there are two bedrooms, so it was an existing house that has been knocked down to accommodate that."

Jen and Jake's property moves

In 2020, the couple's Newport mansion, Casa Paloma, fetched the highest-ever sale price in the Northern Beaches after it was sold for $24.5 million.

The cashed-up buyer? Atlassian co-founder and tech billionaire Mike Cannon-Brookes.

Wall also built their five-bedroom home at 18 Molong Street, North Curl Curl, which was sold for $7.2 million in 2021.

The couple is now selling a multimillion-dollar English-style manor on the Central Coast, four years after securing the nine-acre property.

In 2021, the pair paid $6 million for the seven-bedroom, four-bathroom mansion, which overlooks a lagoon, in Terrigal.

Hawkins and Wall married in Bali in 2013 and share two children.
