Alan Jones’ farm has sold but only after it was heavily discounted.
Sydney builder Blake Cottle, of FDC Construction, and wife Justine bought veteran broadcaster Alan Jones’s Fitzroy Falls property for a record $12,800,005, according to the settlement paperwork.
The Southern Highlands farm had hit the market early last year with $17.5m hopes. It was relisted in October with a $15m-$16m price guide.
The farm was offered on a walk-in, walkout basis, so may have involved some of the animals.
