Brisbane Lions star Lachie Neale and his wife Jules are preparing to sell their multi-million dollar Brisbane home, as the fallout from an alleged cheating scandal continues to unfold. The former power couple's marriage breakdown has been under intense public scrutiny, and now their once forever home is set to hit the market.
Luxury Property Hits the Market
A for-sale sign appeared on the lawn of their two-storey mansion in the peaceful eastern suburb of Seven Hills on Wednesday. The property is being listed by McGrath Real Estate, though it has yet to appear online. Potential buyers are being directed to contact the agents directly for more information, as the burgundy-coloured sign provides no additional details.
Impressive Home Features
The enviable Hamptons-style residence boasts five bedrooms, three bathrooms, and three carports. It also features a swimming pool, a spacious backyard, and an alfresco dining area, making it a luxurious family home. According to Domain's property value estimate, the home could fetch up to $3.35 million on the current market.
Lachie and Jules purchased the newly renovated property at auction in July 2022 for $2.43 million. Recent photos taken by Backgrid show tradesmen putting on the finishing touches, including vacuuming the entryway and carrying cleaning products, suggesting the home is being prepared for sale.
Background of the Scandal
The decision to sell comes after Jules Neale revealed in December that she had been betrayed in the most unimaginable way, shooting down rumours that the couple was working through marriage issues. It is widely believed that this betrayal refers to an alleged affair between Lachie Neale and Jules' close friend, Tess Crosley.
While Neale has not publicly confirmed the infidelity, he did issue an apology, stating, I have let my family down and I apologise for my actions that have let down those that are closest to me. Following the scandal, Jules has moved back to Perth with their two young children and has been sharing happier moments on social media with friends and family.
Moving Forward
As the Neales navigate this difficult period, the sale of their Brisbane home marks a significant step in their separate paths. The property, once a symbol of their family life, is now poised to become a high-value real estate transaction, drawing attention from both sports fans and property enthusiasts alike.
