They've called the red brick residence home for the last decade, having paid $2.4 million in 2008, just a few years after it was built.
The five bedroom home sits in 1,208 sqm of manicured gardens which feature a tennis court and saltwater swimming pool.
Tim Fraser at Di Jones North Shore secured the pre-auction sale.
Mortlock captained the Wallby's, Brumbies and Melbourne Rebels over his illustrious 14 year career.
He pulled on the Wallaby's jersey 80 times, winning the famous Bledisloe and Tri-Nation Series' victories of 2000.

Wallaby legend Stirling Mortlock sells at Pymble

<html><body>
Retired Wallaby Stirling Mortlock and wife Caroline are selling their Pymble family home, with a move to the Southern Highlands on the horizon.
Mortlock, who captained the Walalby's, Brumbies and the Melbourne Rebels, paid $2.4 million for the 2005-built home in 2008.
He retired from rugby in 2012 and became a wealth director at NAB, before moving to Peak Advisors last year.
The five bedroom, double brick home is set in manicured private gardens which feature a saltwater swimming pool and a tennis court.
Di Jones North Shore agent Tim Fraser has set a June 23 auction.
Mortlock made 80 appearances for the Wallabys.
The centre grew up around the area, playing his junior football with Lindfield Juniors, before representing Gordon at Colt level. He was picked up by the Brumbies in 1998.
He called Poiters, the 1904 Killara mansion, home when he was a boy. His parents sold it last year for $5.45 million.

Stirling Mortlock lists Pymble home with South Highlands move mooted

The best-selling author Lisa Heidke is contemplating a sea change to the South Coast.
It follows the sale of her long-held Pymble home for $5.18 million.
Proud to call its chick-lit, Heidke, the author of six contemporary fiction novels, has been living in the North Shore home for 16 years with her family who were instragamed earlier this year decluttering the home into skips.
She paid $2.64 million in 2002, having previously been based in Sydney's inner west.
Heidke blogged one minute she was living in the inner west, the next she was "surprised one morning to wake up and find myself with three children and living on the North Shore".
She's yet to confirm on her blog her next move, but it will certainly involve downsizing. 
Over her long ownership and in between novels and creative writing teaching, Heidke extensively renovated the six bedroom, four bathroom 1900s Federation home, giving particular focus to restoring the terraces and adding a new heated swimming pool and spa.
The full brick home has a wine cellar, billiard room and a home cinema.
A tennis court sits in the 2020 square metre grounds.
Her most recently published book, The Callahan Split in 2015, was billed as one about love, loss, lust, and plenty of sisterly rivalry in the tennis tournament world.
She wrote it in her so-called “handbag room".
McGrath Pymble agent William Robinson sold the home. 
The $5 million plus sale was easily a Wellesley Road record, topping the $3.17 million paid for a 1980s home in 2015.
The family are expected to spend more time at their Gerroa clifftop that they've owned for two decades.
The Melbourne-borm Heidke grew up in Brisbane but came to Sydney aged 22 after a stint in London and worked in book and magazine publishing.
She has released a number of novels, with This Wife's Life and Lucy Springer's Story both shortlisted for the Varuna/HarperCollins Manuscript Awards.

A modernist 1972 Pymble home designed by award-winning architect Russell Jack has been listed for sale.
The <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-nsw-pymble-126783602" target="_blank">solid brick home</a>, marketed as a perfectly-preserved example of The Sydney School style of architecture, is set to sell for the first time in over 20 years.
It last sold at $765,000 in 1993.
<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/2017/11/2/Pymble3.jpg" alt=""> 
Last traded for $765,000 in 1993, the Pymble Avenue family home is imbued with Scandinavian and Japanese influences.
It was designed with a L-shaped layout with sliding doors opening to the outdoor living spaces, overlooking the 12 metre pool with diving board and resort-like cabana.
 <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/2017/11/2/Pymble1.jpg" alt="">
The home on 2230 sqm has five bedrooms and three bathrooms. The master has its own dressing room, ensuite and private courtyard.
Stone Real Estate Turramurra agents Andy Howden and Rob Szosta have set a November 18 auction.
Jack, who designed and lived in The Jack House in Wahroonga, drew heavily upon that design with similar features, such as Tasmanian Oak, black double-bolted beams etc, although the Pymble house is much larger. 
The property was commissioned by Geoffrey Forsaith and his wife, Robin.  Geoffrey Forsaith was a friend of Kerry Packer and, as Australian Cricket Team Manager, worked with Packer on the introduction of the World Cricket Series back in the 1970s (which caused a furore in the cricket world.) 
With beautiful flow, and a private and resort-like feel, the property was the scene of many parties frequented by the big cricketing names of those days - Dennis Lillee, the Chappell brothers (Greg, Ian and Trevor), Rod Marsh, Jeff Thompson, among others.
The current owners, Malcolm and Wendy Carver, had lived a few houses up the road.
Malcolm, himself is an architect and an artist, and Wendy are passionate about the property’s design, functionality and history.
