Cashed-up advertising and media legend John Singleton has re-listed his luxury estate in Killcare Heights on the Central Coast.

The 179 Scenic Road property, which features a four-bedroom primary residence and a separate two-bedroom guesthouse, does not have a listed price guide.
Singleton initially put the house on the market in August 2024, five months after divorcing his second wife, Central Coast local Sarah Warry.
The couple split only a few months after marrying.
The resort-style property, which boasts ocean views and is built next to Bouddi National Park, was intended to be the couple's marital retreat.
It has been left mostly unused under Singleton's ownership, who also owns property nearby in Mount White.
The property is located next door to Central Coast restaurant and accommodation venue Bells at Killcare, which Mr Singleton sold in 2017.
Listed by expressions of interest with Josh Canellis at Wiseberry Peninsular, the coastal acreage is described as "a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for those seeking private coastal living or perhaps a lucrative business venture".
Expressions of interest close on December 12.
Designed by renowned architect Kevin Snell, the pavilion-style residence captures views from every room.
Large windows take in panoramic ocean views, stretching from Manly and Palm Beach to the Hawkesbury River.
Inside, the main residence features an open-plan concept, with a spacious kitchen, living area, and dining area, all set beneath timber-lined high ceilings.
The kitchen features an oversized island bench, a butler's pantry, and statement pendant lights hang above the dining area.
The living area has floor-to-ceiling windows and a wood-burning fireplace.
There is also a cellar and a study.
A palatial master suite spans one wing of the top floor, including a massive ensuite and a dressing room.
The master suite also has private balcony access on two sides.
The ground level comprises three bedrooms, a home theatre, a main bathroom, a powder room and internal access from the garage.
Outside, there are two large entertaining decks with uninterrupted ocean views.
Additionally, there is a two-bedroom self-contained guest house with a kitchenette, a living room, laundry, a powder room and a bathroom.
The guest house also has a wrap-around verandah.
The grounds include a magnesium swimming pool with a cabana, a tennis court, a fire pit zone and established orchards.
Singleton, who has a reported net worth of $850 million, amassed his fortune in the advertising industry during the 1970s and 1980s.
He sold his 32.2 per cent stake in the Macquarie Media radio network to Nine Entertainment for $80 million in 2019.
His split from Warry marked his seventh divorce, including a failed marriage to ex-60 Minutes journalist Liz Hayes in 1991.
According to Cotality, the median house price in Killcare Heights is $1.93 million.
