James Economides was the selling agent of the home which was owned by retired transport magnate Greg Poche and his wife Kayvan.
He sold the French provincial home to freight tycoon Clive Thomas and his wife Lee, as couple look set to move to Sydney where their company, C.T. Freight is headquartered.
