However, it is understood Volkanovski was the buyer, and the property sold for around its advertised price guide of $4.5 million.

The selling agent said the property boasted “magnificent views” and was a “totally secluded trophy property”.

CoreLogic records show the home sold in June after 37 days on the market and previously sold in 2002 for $410,000.
