The Swans legend Tony 'Plugger' Lockett can add 'King of the Hill' to his list of nicknames.

Well, that's how his new $3.28 million acquisition at Cabarita Beach was marketed.

Lockett, now a specialist forward coach at the Swans, and wife Vicki have been shuffling around their property portfolio in recent months, culminated in the recent purchase on the north coast.

It all started when they listed Roscoe Park, their longtime Southern Highlands retreat, last year.

They secured $4.2 million for the Moss Vale home which was bought by Michelle Cameron, wife of Suncorp executive Michael Cameron.

The 40 hectare estate, that cost $1.2 mililon when Lockett retired the first time, features a six bedroom house and an indoor pool complex.

He took up cattle farming and greyhound racing. 

After the Southern Highlands sale, Lockett had hinted it was time for a sea change as their four daughters were almost all grown up. 

They signalled they didn't intend leaving the Highlands all together however as in another property move, the Lockett's have secured a 750 square metres land parcel in Braemar, a northern village of the Southern Highlands near Mittagong for $820,000. 

The rejigging of their property has included the sale of a two bedroom investment apartment at Mollymook on the NSW south coast.

The apartment in the beachfront Mariners block of six had a $799,000 guide and was snapped up in 23 days through LJ Hooker Ulladulla agent Gary Cox.

Lockett, who scored 1,360 goals in a career of 281 games, starting in 1983 with St Kilda and ending in 2002 with the Swans, sits at less than his playing days weights as a recent strict diet see him go from from 125 kilograms to 97.

He can when tempted use the internal lift at the opulent five-level home at Cabarita Beach.

Plugger won't be up and down the stairs, with an internal lift servicing each level.

Dubbed King of the Hill by Coastal Real Estate Group selling agent Mason Garten, the home has panoramic views from its oceanfront position atop Cabarita Headland.

The luxury home spanning 1090 square metres has five bedrooms, an executive home office, billiards room and an outdoor swimming pool and spa.

A whole level master retreat has its own private lounge, gym, dressing room, ensuite and balcony.

The rooftop entertaining terrace has approvals for creating an entertaining space with bar and cabana.

The couple have owned elsewhere in the area.

Tony 'Plugger' Lockett buys in Cabarita Beach

Heath Shaw, the GWS AFL player, has humourously assumed the title of “Lord”.
It came after Lord Heath Shaw purchased a small plot of land in the Scottish Highlands area of Glencoe, which all come with the title Lord.
He paid A$60 for one square foot.
Lots are priced up to $1000 for 1000 sq foot.
The aim of the investment scheme is to return the once lush Highland landscape, ravaged by commercial forestry and overgrazing over the years, back to its former glory.
"The Lord is on the way to training along Parramatta Road this morning in a horse and cart," he told the 3MMM Hot Breakfast team.
He posted about his new status and property purchase on Twitter yesterday, where he's changed his handle to reflect his new status.
The documentation saw the AFL footballer "entirely renounce, relinquish and abandon the use of my former name of Heath Shaw and assume, adopt and determine to take and use from the date hereof the name and title of Lord Heath Shaw in substitution for my former name of Heath Shaw,” the first clause of the deed reads.
Heath has bought into the first Highland Titles Nature Reserve, which opened in 2007.
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2018/4/30/glencoe0.jpg" alt="">
It is made up of thousands of plots which are supported by a global community of Lairds.
The land is free to visit whether you have <a href="https://www.highlandtitles.com/buy-a-plot/" target="_blank">purchased a plot</a> or not.
Located close to the historical Glencoe, the reserve is one of two Highland Titles reserves.
The website advised "every person that purchases a plot from Highland Titles becomes a Laird, Lord or Lady of Glencoe, even if it is a 1 sqft plot."
The Highland Titles Nature Reserve is sustained by the ongoing support of the over 100,000+ Highland Titles community.
"With the purchase of every plot, we are able to work with our partners to  plant more trees, build more shelters for the animals that inhabit the reserves, and progress in our efforts to conserve the land for future generations as well as offer a unique and charming gift to those who support the progress of our efforts.
"Join a community of over 200,000 people around the world who have made a contribution towards conserving Scotland," the website suggests.
The Glencoe Wood estate is located off the main road (A828) between Oban and Fort William in the Highlands of Scotland. The nearest village is Duror, and the nearest Post Code is PA38 4BW.
"It’s official, I am the first AFL player in it history to become a Lord," he tweeted humorously.
His twitter handle was changed accordingly with the accompanying <a class="PrettyLink hashtag customisable" href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/thisisthewordofthelord?src=hash" rel="tag" data-query-source="hashtag_click" data-scribe="element:hashtag">#thisisthewordofthelord</a>

GWS star Lord Heath Shaw purchases small plot of land in the Scottish Highlands

<html><body>
The GWS Giants star forward Jonathon Patton is now happily settled in Sydney, and has bought his first home.
The big man, and former No.1 draft pick, has spent $1.6 million on a designer terrace in Alexandria.
He declared his love for Sydney, in particular the east, in a recent interview with Players Voice.
"If someone asks me where home is, Sydney is definitely the answer now," the Noble Park, Melbourne-born forward said.
"If I was asked to describe Sydney now, I’d say it’s an energetic place.
"I live in the east, and there’s so many happy people.
"If you’re on the beaches, you don’t see any trouble. You can hang out and meet South Americans, Europeans, and without even trying you find out more about the world."
Patton bought a $1.24 million investment Edwardian cottage in Melbourne's Richmond in 2016 which briefly contributed to speculation he could return to Melbourne. 
He's been based in Sydney's east in a three bedroom Kensington penthouse for the last couple of years, having moved out of Breakfast Point when he was turning 21.
Patton, who was dropped from the team for last weekend's game against the West Coast, had spent his first couple of years in Sydney living with his team mates nearer the Giants base at Blacktown.
Upon moving to the east, Patton, who turns 25 later this month, said that was when he "really saw what Sydney had to offer".
He said the when the Giants drafted him when he was 18, the only taste of Sydney he had was a national under 16 football championships two years earlier, when he was based at Blacktown for the week.
"That tiny taste of the outer west was about all I knew of Australia’s biggest city."
He said he was expecting to move to Sydney and it would be nowhere near as good as Melbourne.
"I was so wrong," he said.
He says he's at the beach pretty much every day.
His new purchase is closer to the city than the beach, and a commute to the Giants base out west.
He has been spotted out buying furniture at Canvas Home Interiors in Paddington.
The Alexandria property has been reinvented since it last traded for $665,000 in 2008.
Spanning three levels, the three bedroom home features a master retreat sits on the top level, complete with its own walk in wardrobe and ensuite. 
The two middle level bedrooms open to their own balconies, while an entertainers courtyard flows off the open plan kitchen, living and dining room space.
The Agency's Brad Gillespie sold the 1998 built home pre-auction after having a guide of $1.45 million. 
Patton was the Giants leading goal kicker in the 2017 season which saw them make the finals for the second time in a row despite an injury-plagued year.

AFL legend Greg 'Diesel' Williams has sold Ardoch Tower, the Essendon trophy home.
Bought for a suburb record $3.08 million in 2004, Williams <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-vic-essendon-129439314" target="_blank">restored the Brewster Street home</a> opposite Essendon Football Club's Windy Hill HQ.
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2018/10/17/williams1.jpg" alt="">
It had $7 million price hopes, and is believed to have sold near that figure, which will make the 1860s Italianate residence the second highest sale in the suburb.
The home, complete with a tower that has 360 degree views across Melbourne, has five bedrooms, three bathrooms and parking for eight cars.
It features 4 metre high decorative ceilings painted by an artist who died on the Titanic.
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2018/10/17/williams3.jpg" alt="">
A swimming pool, spa, tennis court and an all-weather alfresco area with pizza oven sits in the 2,455 sqm resort-style grounds.
Williams, a dual Brownlow Medal winner, played for Carlton, Sydney and Geelong over his 250 game, 13 year career.

Essendon's Ardoch Tower sold by AFL legend Greg 'Diesel' Williams

<html><body>
Ardoch Tower at Essendon has been listed by AFL great Greg ‘Diesel’ Williams and his wife Mary.
They paid a record $3.08 million when upgrading from nearby in 2004 for the now restored home on its 2453 square metre block opposite Essendon Football Club's Windy Hill headquarters.
It comes with a pool, spa, tennis court and an all-weather alfresco area with a pizza oven in resort-style grounds.
Greg Williams told The Australian earlier this year he was able to move freely again on the tennis court thanks to treatment by Melbourne biotech company Paradigm Biopharma who repurposed an old drug.
The tower in the house boasts 360-degree views across Melbourne.
The former Carlton, Sydney and Geelong star has $7 million expectations for the 1860s Italianate residence.
It features 4 metre high decorative ceilings painted by an artist who died on the Titanic, so the oft-told story suggests.

Retired St Kilda AFL star Leigh Montagna and wife Erinn are selling their smartly renovated Malvern investment.
The 34 year old two time All-Australian paid $560,000 for the 1905 Edwardian in 2005.
It was a project for the couple who renovated around four years ago.
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2018/10/8/mont2.jpg" alt="">
Set on 400 sqm, the single level home comprises three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a wrap-around deck opening from the living room.
In 2016 after its renovation it became an $800 a week rental.
Kay &amp; Burton South Yarra agents Darren Lewenberg and Grant Samuel are marketing the Johnstone Street home for an October 27 auction with a guide of $1.6 million to $1.76 million.
Montagna told the Herald Sun he bought the home after getting his second contract at St Kilda.
"You get your second contract and think, ‘it’s time to start being sensible’."
“It was an old, rundown Edwardian-style house, but I just wanted to get into a blue-chip suburb. It was the worst home in the best street.”
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2018/10/8/mont3.jpg" alt="">
The street record came two doors down when a renovated 1920s home fetched $3.4 million in 2016.
The Albert Park-based Montagna is now in the media working with Fox Footy and Triple M.
He said the family are going to need to upsize in Albert Park at some point, suggesting it will be too hard to leave the area.

Geelong premiership player Tom Hawkins has sold his restored 1920s investment property at Geelong West.
Belafonte, the three bedroom 146 Hope Street house had rear open-plan living and dining, deck and landscaped yard.
It sold through Lee Botsios and Brock Grainger of Fletchers, who while quoting $460,000 to $480,000, secured a $452,000 sale price.
Property Observer understands that Tom Hawkins paid around $410,000 in 2009.
After the sale, the property became available earlier this year for lease at $410 a week asking rental through Release Property Management Geelong, reflecting a 4.7% rental yield.
Hawkins' last asking rental, when it came available in late 2012, was $370 a week. 
RP Data puts <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/property-observer" target="_blank">the suburb's median house price</a> at a record $442,500.
The house was marketed as conserving its many vintage interior features, while adding contemporary polished concrete floors to make a house with well-proportioned rooms and indoor and outdoor living/entertaining spaces.

Former Hawthorn president Jeff Kennett yesterday suggested the Hawks AFL team ought consider relocating to Launceston in Tasmania.
It came after ongoing reports that Hawthorn had been considering selling their Waverley Park complex and moving elsewhere.
Speaking with 3AW broadcaster Neil Mitchell, Jeff Kennett said it would be in the best interest of the club to pack up and move across Bass Strait given their existing links to the island state.
"I think that would be the cheapest and most exciting option. I'm not sure that the board would agree with me [but] when you think it through clearly it could be the opportunity of a lifetime."
“The Aurora Stadium is the best surface in Australia,” he said before adding his property insights.
“The (players) could rent out their houses here (Melbourne) and buy new properties in Launceston, so financially they would do well."
<blockquote>
Many of the listings have enough bedrooms for at least half the team to bunk down with their footballer landlord.
</blockquote>
The outspoken former Victorian premier and former club president's latest radical proposal comes as the future of AFL matches at both ends of the Tasmania island are under increasing scrutiny - and at a time when the Tasmanian residential market remains problematic. Indeed RP Data puts<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/property-observer" target="_blank"> the Launceston median house price </a>at $360,000 down from its $390,000 peak in 2010.
Nonetheless, Property Observer has come up with the pick of the slow selling crop from the 55 listings on realestateview.com.au starting with an historic house that goes to auction this weekend.
<a href="https://www.realestateview.com.au/Real-Estate/15-maitland-street-launceston/Property-Details-buy-residential-6842489" target="_blank">It is an 1863 Victorian mansion set in a walled-English Country Garden setting</a> at 15 Maitland Street (pictured above).
Its been marketed by agent Stuart Ferrall at Harrison Humphreys as having the comfort of the integrated hydronic heating in the home which comes with double brick interior walls. The basement cellar is special. Around $500,000 is tipped.
Many of the listings have enough bedrooms for at least half the team to bunk down with their footballer landlord.
There is a $1.1 million asking price on the 11 bedroom, 11 bathroom Kilmarnock House built in 1905 as a townhouse for John Ingles, a well-known Launceston merchant. 
The completed cost, as charged was a moderate £1,588 pounds, 15 shillings and threepence for the house at 66 Elphin Road (pictured below).
Last offered for sale 33 years ago, <a href="https://www.realestateview.com.au/Real-Estate/66-elphin-road-launceston/Property-Details-buy-residential-6452859" target="_blank">it is for sale through Harcourts agent Jeremy Wilkinson</a>.

<img src="/images/2014/04/11/launceston%20april%2011%20two.jpg" alt="">
At West Launceston, there is a $920,000 asking price on Edenholme Grange, just minutes from the city centre and Cataract Gorge, through Harcourts agent Courtney Hogan.

The oldest on offer is on the so-called Quality Row, a heritage listed four storey Georgian residence built by James Bennell in 1843/44 at <a href="https://www.realestateview.com.au/Real-Estate/169-st-john-street-launceston/Property-Details-buy-residential-5891379" target="_blank">165 St John Street</a> (pictured below) with 12 pane sash windows with original shutters. 
<img src="/images/2014/04/11/launceston%20april%2011%20four.jpg" alt="">
No doubt the Hawk players would prefer something a little more contemporary akin to their Melbourne surrounds.
<a href="https://www.realestateview.com.au/Real-Estate/5b-eastbourne-street-south-launceston/Property-Details-buy-residential-6036073" target="_blank">So 5B Eastbourne Street at South Launceston</a> (pictured below) would be the go at $465,000.

<img src="/images/2014/04/11/launceston%20april%2011%20five.jpg" alt="">
Apartment wise it would be hard to go past <a href="https://www.realestateview.com.au/Real-Estate/4-287-charles-street-launceston/Property-Details-buy-residential-1391122" target="_blank">the newly completed complex</a>, The Charles at 287 Charles Street (pictured below). Not cheap as with nine sold the remaining prices through Harcourts range between apartment 4 at $1,190,000 and apartment 13 at $1,650,000.

<img src="/images/2014/04/11/launceston%20april%2011%20six.jpg" alt="">
The cheapest apartment in the town is $108,000 in the Best Western complex.

Vendor Robert Knott went strong on the the Greek symbology in Mediterranean themed artistry which includes the Sistine Chapel inspired ceiling artwork. It all sort of begins on the driveway turning circle with Tasmania's largest private fountain forming a centre piece. 
The marketing of Old Marchington says its overlooks vineyards and rolling pastures that could easily mirror a glimpse of Tuscany. 
The Hawks currently fly in, fly out for four AFL games annually.
They aren't alone. The North Melbourne Kangaroos will play two games at the Blundstone Arena at Bellerive oval in Hobart late in the 2014 season.
And the former Collingwood and Fremantle star Chris Tarrant does it five times a year signing up to play in the local league for North Launceston Bombers.
The 33-year-old, 268-game AFL veteran played one match for the Northern Bombers last season. Tarrant is set to play his first match for the season on Good Friday against Launceston, followed by the Anzac Day clash against Clarence, Lauderdale on 24 May, Burnie on 19 June and the Western Storm on 22 August.
<blockquote>
The Hawks currently fly in, fly out for four AFL games annually.

Tarrant lives on the mainland and keeps busy with business commitments in the health and fitness industry, about to release his own organic protein powder called Inta Organics.
Tarrant and his wife, model Lauren Strauss, live in a $3.15 million 1880s South Yarra house bought in 2012 after they sold their Adelaide Street, Armadale French Provincial style home for $3.85 million also in 2012, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5kTRy-JvAjc" target="_blank">having listed it initially in 2010</a>.

The St Kilda champion Nick Riewoldt didn't jag a buyer when his contemporary South Melbourne townhouse home went to weekend auction, but sold shortly after at an undisclosed price.
Their was definite latent buying interest, but with hands in their pockets, the only bid was the $1.6 million vendor bid.
Melbourne agents secured a healthy 72.3% weekend clearance rate, according to Australian Property Monitors, against a revised 71.7% tally for the previous weekend.
The sold Riewoldt property was listed through Marshall White agent Michael Paproth who expected more than $1.6 million at the auction which was attended by Nick's father Joe.
<img src="/images/2014/04/14/riewoldt%20april%2014.jpg" alt="">
Photo: Nick Reiwoldt's South Melbourne townhouse goes to weekend auction.
It cost around $1.2 million in 2009, in the project undertaken by Linara Property Developments.
Building began in 2007 with 32 three-storey town houses on the corner of Cecil and Dorcas streets, the suburb's largest housing development in decades was constructed on the site of an old service station and some Uniting Church land. 
The town houses were spread over four blocks, with one facing Dorcas Street, another Cecil Street and two internal blocks. There were 16 townhouse designs, with five-metre or six-metre frontages and floor plans ranging from 195 square metres to 335 square metres. All within walking distance of South Melbourne Market and the Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre and about a minute's walk to the South Melbourne light-rail station.
The Mrocki developer family have also undertaken The Victoria on Beaconsfield project, Maxx at St Kilda in a joint venture, and Linx in Prahran. Linara Projects Group was founded by brothers Leon and Harry Mrocki since coming from trade backgrounds having developed more than 1000 apartments in Melbourne during the past 20 years.
Marketed as a substantial contemporary residence, <a href="/news/30076-nick-riewoldt-lists-south-melbourne-apartment" target="_blank">the Riewoldt abode</a> comes with downstairs bedroom with en suite, that would work as a home office.
There are three further bedrooms on the first floor including the main bedroom featuring balcony, retreat zone and double shower en suite.
The top floor living/dining areas has polished floors that flow to a balcony with city views.

The nine year Saints captain, who is married to Catherine Heard, has apparently bought the large Brighton family home by private treaty in late February.
It was among 1,261 weekend offerings in Melbourne with an $870 million worth of stock, including around $640 million in houses set to be offered under the hammer and $230 million worth of apartments.
Australian Property Monitors research assistant Neil Tan advised that this weekend's offerings was some 142% higher than the same weekend last year. 
Melbourne's 1,277 auctions this Saturday was its fourth weekend above 1,000 this year with about 450 units and 810 houses for scheduled auction.
Melbourne's median weekend for house prices was $737,000 and the median unit price was $520,000, based on the initial 994 initial results.
That's much higher than the typical $568,000 Melbourne median for houses and the median for typical $420,000 Melbourne units.

Delisted AFL premiership player Darren Jolly and his wife Deanne are the mystery couple on the next series of The Block, the office block conversion currently underway in High Street, Prahran.
The Sunday Herald Sun, normally compliant with the Channel 9 demands for embargoed Block secrecy, broke the revelation on the weekend, having earlier alluded to a retired sportstar being a contestant.
Last month the couple sold <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-vic-surrey+hills-116232795" target="_blank">their self-renovated Edwardian era Surrey Hills</a> home ahead of the scheduled auction.
It was renovated by the ruckman on days off and after training, along with designs by his fashionista wife.
Last year Jolly completed his building and construction certificate four at night school. The couple paid $1.35 million in 2010.
It was joked among his then Collingwood AFL teammates of his growing interest in renovation and property development
But it was actually Heath Shaw, the former Magpies defender now at GWS, who suggested that he wouldn't mind taking on a spot on The Block.
"I would really enjoy that and I know Darren Jolly is into his home renovations, I could get big Dazza and do all the co-ordination stuff and he could do the building,'' Shaw said in the lead-up to the listing of his then recently completed Kew East home.
Paul Richards, <a href="/news/29255-darren-jolly-lists-surrey-hills-cottage" target="_blank">the Bekdon Richards listing agent</a>, described the Jolly's three bedroom cottage renovation as one of the best he’d seen in 13 years in real estate.
Their 1910 house on 450 square metres had period features including high ceilings, stained glass and original fireplaces as well as for contemporary comforts such as refrigerated cooling and ducted heating. 
Just two doors along - another three bedroom 1910 cottage on 410 square metres last sold at $1.1 million in 2007 - sold ahead of its scheduled March auction too. Both recent sale prices have been undisclosed.
<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/property-observer" target="_blank">The current Surrey Hills median house price sits at a record $1.28 million</a>, according to RP Data.
There was a $2.15 million sale of a renovated five bedroom cottage on 845 square metres set the street record last November.
The former Collingwood, Sydney and Melbourne ruckman, a two-time premiership player and reluctant 2013 AFL retiree, is St Kilda's part-time ruck coach.
A silly rumour prank that the ruckman was set to to play with the Bonbeach side during 2014, is seemingly set to come to fruition this Friday.
After hearing the rumour, the Bonbeach Sharks president Reece Murphy phoned Jolly who both started to think about it.
At this stage, Jolly has agreed to play only one game with Bonbeach - on Good Friday, when the Sharks host reigning premiers EdiAsp, according to the local paper, the Frankston Standard Leader.
Presumably The Block cameras will be there to cover it, confidentially.
