Jennifer Hawkins and Jake Wall are gearing up to hand over the keys to their multimillion-dollar mega mansion development at Whale Beach.

Followers praised the design in the comments: "Sensational! the foundations alone to build that is mind blowing. Well done!" and "What a spectacular view, love the design architecture of the house and is so beautiful".
Aerial footage reveals the immense scale of the four-level build that occupies 3073 square metres across a double block, making it the largest estate in Sydney's Northern Beaches.
The luxury property's outdoor amenities include a travertine swimming pool with a deck and an oceanside basketball half-court with artificial turf, a built-in basketball hoop and a sandstone feature wall.

New footage shows the pool has been filled, and the lawns and landscaped gardens, including towering mature palm trees, are finished.
One of the striking design features is an infinity edge plunge spa connected to a fire pit area that cantilevers over the clifftop.

It is estimated the property will be worth $45 million once it is completed.
Works began in 2021 after the former Miss Universe Hawkins and Wall, a carpenter by trade, paid $6.95 million for the site in 2020.

The landmark property was once owned by legendary Australian opera performer, Dame Joan Sutherland.
The demolition of the original 1950s home at 24-26 Rayner Road was completed in 2021 to begin construction of Rocca Bella.

Plans for the build reveal 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 floors are connected by an internal lift, including the master wing comprising the main bedroom, complete with a private balcony, an oversized en-suite, and a walk-in robe.

Other property features include a gym, a bowling alley, a home theatre and a sauna.
The latest aerial footage also shows a glimpse of the works at the neighbouring property that is also under construction by J Group Projects.

The original three-level house at 30 Rayner Road was demolished in 2024 to build a new dwelling rumoured to be another part of the Rocca Bella compound.
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.

In 2024, industry sources told View.com.au that it is believed that the purchaser is also the owner of Rocca Bella.

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."

Meanwhile, Hawkins and Wall, both originally from Newcastle, are still trying to find a buyer for their multimillion-dollar English-style manor on the Central Coast.
Four years after securing the nine-acre property in Terrigal for $6 million, the seven-bedroom, four-bathroom mansion, which overlooks a lagoon, returned to the market last year with Mat Steinwde of McGrath Terrigal.
