The Burrawang weekender Sam Amytage sold in 2020 for $3.1m.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Armytage pocketed a bullish $3.1m in August 2020 from her sale, three months after the couple\u2019s engagement and four months before their wedding.<\/p>\n

But the cottage has onsold recently at nearly double the price \u2013 for $6m, which is a record price for acreage in the village.<\/p>\n

Vendor Patsy Peacock, the talent recruitment veteran, has sold the 2ha holding to Max Johnston, the former chairman of Austcann, the ASX-listed company developing cannabinoid-derived therapeutic products, and his wife, Alice.<\/p>\n

Pear Tree Cottage, a five-bedroom, four-bathroom homestead with wraparound verandas built in 2001, had been purchased by Armytage in 2017 for $2.2m.<\/p>\n

Lavender bought his 40ha holding for $1,950,000 from Southern Highlands farmer Theo Onisforou in 2007.<\/p>\n

It was announced this week that Armytage will be swapping roles with Natalie Gruzlewski as host of Channel 7\u2019s Farmer Wants A Wife.<\/p>\n

It follows Armytage\u2019s role in 2022 as guest host, where she made occasional appearances to offer advice to the farmers and contestants.<\/p>\n

Armytage sold her Bondi home to live with Lavender on his rural property, but retains a city bolthole at Rushcutters Bay and a Hyams Beach retreat.<\/p>\n
