Entreprenuer Tom Lane, an heir to the Oroton fashion empire, and his wife Emma have sold in Manly.

The off-market $10.5 million sale of the Lane's home was sold to Tom's big brother Ross Lane, who sits on the Oroton board.

The absolute beachfront property was built after being previously owned by the Olympian Betty Cuthbert.

It had been purchased by Tom and Emma in 2007 for $4.4 million.

Tom and Emma Lane are now based in the Byron Bay township where they bought a $3.25 million house late last year.

They run their 32-hectare organic farming and tourist venture The Farm at nearby Ewingsdale.

Ross Lane recently sold his oceanfront home for $9.5 million to Seven's chief executive Tim Worner through McGrath's Jake Rowe.
