Loss taken as $6.5 million paid for Paul Little's Noosa retreat

Brisbanite Dana White - not the UFC president - and her husband Tony have spent $6.5 million to buy the Noosa retreat of the former Toll Holdings boss Paul Little.

Little is the chairman of the Essendon Football Club and has been a prominent public figure during the club's investigation by ASADA for alleged doping offenses.

His Witta Circle luxury house went on the market in 2011 with a price tag of $7.2 million having paid $7.6 million in the pre-global financial crisis year, 2007.

Property Observer speculated in August it had been sold for around $6.25 million.

The property comes with five bedrooms, five bathrooms, a cinema and an office.

Barry Andersen at Rymar Properties bought the property for $2.6 million in 2005, selling it to Little in 2007.

The White's own a house in Clayfield, the Brisbane suburb which was bought in 2009 when the family moved from Albury.

(The initial article published wrongly identified the buyer.)
