Chris Scott, the former holiday letting management rights entrepreneur, has relisted his Gold Coast hinterland house.

The five-bedroom Tallai house has a grand entrance with marble floors. The house, with 2,325 square metres of living space, is on a 6,878-square-metre block.

It was bought in 2003 for $3 million from car auction executive Colin Crewe and it was listed with $5.5 million hopes in 2007. By late 2009 the asking price was around $3.95 million.

It’s now being quoted through McGrath agent Patricia Box at $2.9 million plus.

After gaining an honours degree in economics Scott spent two decades operating road and sea freight operations in Singapore and the US until he returned to Australia with his family in 1998.

In 2006 he secured $210 million, his share of the $700 million overly ambitious MFS takeover of the S8 travel group he founded.
