Parramatta Eels legend Peter &#39;Sterlo&#39; Sterling and his wife Selina appear set to downsize to Terrigal having sold their longtime Central Coast acreage.

They are tipped as buying a two level $1 million townhouse overlooking bushland in a gated community of 59 townhouses with extensive use of stone and timber along with a resort style pool with BQQ amenities.

It is three bedrooms and two bathrooms.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=9187 project_image_fid=164850]

Sterling, who has had ongoing NRL commentary commitments with Channel 9, has been at the home on the Central Coast since the mid-1990s.

It was in 1997 when two lots totalling over three hectares were bought for $495,000.

There&#39;s been no price disclosure, but buyers were being asked for offers between $3 million and $3.3 million.

Surrounded by tropical gardens, the home has four bedrooms, a media room and an office space.

A verandah wraps around the home, while the master suite, complete with walk-in wardrobe and ensuite, has its own private decking.

An infinity pool, entertainment area with built-in barbecue and outdoor kitchen, as well as a number of horse paddocks, sit in the grounds.&nbsp;

Sterling was introduced to the Central Coast by good mate Paul Taylor, having played together in Parramatta&#39;s first rugby league premiership side in 1981.

Taylor then played and coached for The Entrance in the twilight years of his league career before shifting to Queensland.&nbsp;

The couple first spent a year on a property in neighbouring Holgate, all the time looking for a special piece of the Central Coast they could call home.&nbsp;

&quot;Selina and I drove around all over the place,&quot; Sterling recalled in a 2002 profile which added that his dad and sister were at nearby Killarney Vale.

Sterlo owned for a few years in Collaroy until 1997 and before that had been at Castle Hill.

&quot;When we came into Matcham I said &#39;I&#39;d really like to live here one day.&quot;

Just 12 months later he was - on eight-and-a-half acres of private, rolling hillside with enough room for the horses and an environment perfect for raising children.

&quot;I look out there now and I see the value in what we&#39;ve done,&quot; he said long before it was worth its current $3 million plus.

&quot;Life doesn&#39;t get much better than this,&quot; he once said.

&quot;A lot of people think that I spend most of my time away from home with my television commitments and so on, but that&#39;s not true,&nbsp;I spend most of my time here.

He said he and Selina are real home bodies.

&quot;We&#39;re not real beach people, although we do get down to Wamberal a fair bit during summer.&quot;

Sterlo, one of the all-time great halfbacks, was a major influence in the Eels dominance in the 1980s.

He played 227 games for the Eels, winning four Premierships.

He represented The Blues in the State of Origin 13 times and was inducted into the ARL Hall of Fame in 2006.

Sterlo started his commentary career with Western Sydney radio station 2WS and Channel 10, before moving to the Nine Network.

He later went on to host The Sunday Footy Show, anchoring the program from the show&#39;s inception in 1993 until the end of the 2015 season when Yvonne Sampson took the reins.

He was co-host of Nine&#39;s The NRL Footy Show for 12 years alongside Paul Vautin and currently hosts&nbsp; Nine&#39;s Thursday Night Football&nbsp;and&nbsp;On the Couch with Sterlo.&nbsp;

Injured Manly Sea Eagle Dylan Walker is preparing for family life, settling on a home with partner Alexandra Ivkovic, given the imminent arrival of their first child.
The couple have spent $1.7 million on a Dee Why house, upgrading from Walker's nearby apartment he bought when moving from the South Sydney Rabbitohs to the Manly club.
They're set to welcome a baby boy.
Marketed as an idyllic family home, the 200-built home sits on an elevated 665 square metre parcel with views over Dee Why Lagoon, Long Reef Headland and the ocean.
It has three bedrooms, two bathrooms and an open plan living area with a dining space which extends outdoors to the landscaped gardens.
Raine &amp; Horne Dee Why Collaroy agents Chris Aldren and Harry Pownall sold the home.
They had a $1.6 million guide for its auction, but sold it soon after when offering it up at $1.65 million.
The couple have upgraded in the Northern Beaches from Walker's two bedroom apartment which was nearer the beach.
He paid $815,000 two years ago and has leased it at $600 a week following the upgrade.

Celebrity angler Andrew Ettingshausen and his wife Monique have their Port Hacking home listed with $4 million plus hopes for 24 May through McGrath agent Bernadette Berlyn.
The five-bedroom, three bathroom waterfront property with views to Maianbar and of the Royal National Park comes with a wet-edged pool.
The former Cronulla Sharks player, known as ET, retired after the 2000 NRL season.
He then hosted the fishing show, Escape with ET. 
<a href="https://www.mcgrath.com.au/buy/house-port-hacking-nsw-2229/196944/?searchID=38645262" target="_blank">The 1,130-square-metre property</a> with a boathouse, jetty and pontoon was bought more than two decades ago for $575,000 in 1990 when it was a modest two bedroom cottage.
The marketing now describes it as a "grandly scaled home occupies a prized peninsula position with dynamic river views."
In the early 1990s Andrew Ettingshausen, was described as being "the face, body and image" of rugby league and a list Australia's richest sportsmen and women suggested Ettingshausen earned through football and endorsements, approximately $500,000 in 1991. 
He was presumed to be in the $150,000 plus bracket with Cronulla-Sutherland; also working for the NSW Rugby League in their schools program; had a contract with Coca-Cola and paid appearances on Channel Seven and 2DAYFM and other endorsements.

It was 2007 when the wandering NRL player Willie Mason bought a home at Clovelly for $2.3 million. His contract at the Bulldogs and endorsement deals earnt him at least $600,000 a year on the back of winning the Clive Churchill Medal in the 2004 premiership victory.
Mason, whose mates dubbed him "the king of the eastern suburbs" during his subsequent stint with the Sydney Roosters, then headed briefly to the Cowboys in far north Queensland.
He certainly missed the lifestyle around Clovelly, during his 2011 stint in France playing rugby union for Toulon.
Title Tattle recalls longtime Channel 9/Fairfax rugby league reporter Danny Weidler writing that Mason had renovated the property and was relying on his French deal, and $1,500 weekly rental, to keep the mortgage under control.
It was then off to the Newcastle Knights where he currently flats with a teammate. Title Tattle presumes Mason is among the unpaid players at the club where Nathan Tinkler's ownership is unravelling. The Hunter Sports Group released a statement today confirming they have handed over ownership.
Title Tattle undertook a review this week of the team's property portfolio only to spot the Clovelly property of Mason (pictured above) has been <a href="https://www.belleproperty.com/40P0815" target="_blank">listed for June 21 auction through Belle agent Daniel Gillespie</a>.
It is set directly opposite Clovelly Beach, with ocean and coastal views to Wedding Cake Island and is a coveted oceanfront reserve setting with freshly schemed interiors.
There are two double bedrooms and two distinct living areas, including one opening to a glass-framed entertaining terrace with views. It is freestanding to the east side.
Willie Mason was born in Auckland in 1980, moving to Australia as a five-year-old growing up at Toronto. He was recently praised for visiting children in hospital, then later while shopping at Westfield Kotara, much to his credit, remembering a patient and pausing to encourage his recovery. 
A $2.5 million plus price is its unconfirmed price guidance.

Manly-Warringah fullback Brett Stewart has listed his Balgowlah house with hopes of $1.35 million-plus.
The four-bedroom townhouse, with water glimpses, comes with a pool. It cost $1.33 million in late 2011.

<a href="https://www.belleproperty.com/12P4661" target="_blank">The three storey Nield Avenue townhouse duplex</a> was built five years ago.
The News Ltd local paper, The Manly Daily reported it was a move that would prompt further speculation surrounding his future at the Sea Eagles.
However, Stewart said the sale was about downsizing, as he was tired of cleaning and maintaining such a big home.
He said he would be remaining in Balgowlah.

Cronulla Sharks coach Shane Flanagan has listed his longtime Bangor home having spent $2.3 million on a contemporary five-bedroom house in Caringbah South.
It has been listed for 30 April auction <a href="https://raywhitemenai.com.au/nsw/bangor/1122210/" target="_blank">through Ray White Menai agent Matt Debreczen</a> who expects about $1 million.
The two level 1980s built house was bought for $330,000 in 1994 with wife, Cathie.
<a href="/news/29873-cronulla-sharks-coach-shane-flanagan-buys-in-caringbah-south" target="_blank">His next architecturally designed property</a> overlooking Burraneer Bay was recently sold through John Schwarzer, of Highland Property Agents.
Flanagan, who also signed on with the club last month for another three years, has been suspended by the NRL following the ASADA investigation for its part in the 2011 supplements scandal.
Flanagan took over the lead coaching role from Ricky Stuart, who after quitting the Parramatta Eels is now with the Canberra Raiders.
The former plumber, Flanagan, a Sutherland Shire resident for the past 29 years, had been Stuart's right-hand man for six years previously at the Roosters and the Sharks.
