Alan Jones announces he will be moving back into his Sydney flat after selling his sprawling $17.5million farmhouse in south NSW
Alan Jones has announced he will be moving back into his flat on Circular Quay after selling his rambling farmhouse in south NSW.
The radio station sold its country estate in Fitzroy Falls, west of Kiama on the NSW south coast, last month after it was on the market for a whopping $17.5 million.
Alan, 81, told the Daily Telegraph on Sunday he will remain in Sydney after the sale amid rumors he is moving to Queensland.

“I really only spent about 35 days a year in the Highlands before Covid so I’ll be very happy in my flat,” he said.
He continued: “If my impoverishment means I’m doomed to look out at the Opera House, the Harbor Bridge and Sydney Harbor every day, then there really is no reason for melancholy.”
Alan sold his Elizabeth Farm estate last month, where he lived with his niece Tonia, her husband, tennis coach Justin Taylor, and their children.
The property has two residences, a two bedroom house where Alan lived and an eight bedroom bungalow where the Taylors had occupied.

It is believed to have sold under the asking price of $15 million on a walk-in basis, where furniture could be purchased along with the home.
The purchase included a forest called Wombat Woods with large sculptures of a giraffe and an elephant on the site.
The grounds include a lake and island with landscaped gardens, stables, tennis courts and a two bedroom caretaker’s house.

The stables, built in 2016, have six boxes, a washing area, saddle/feeding room, a tea kitchen and a laundry room.
There are 12 horse farms with post and rail fences and a lighted dressage arena, with the property ideal for hobby farmers to keep horses, cattle and sheep.
Alan bought the property in 2003 for $2.6 million before connecting the two large residences with a central courtyard in an extensive renovation.
