Jaggad owner Bec Judd and AFL great Chris Judd sell Arthurs Seat holiday home after finishing reno
Rebecca and Chris Judd have sold the Arthur's Seat holiday home and renovation project they finished only a few months ago.
The power couple, initially known for Chris's on-field success in the AFL as a two-time Brownlow Medalist and Carlton stalwart, are increasingly making headlines for Bec's style-savvy and businesses including the Jaggad sportswear label.
Regularly documenting their home renovation projects on social media, the pair announced earlier this year that they had 'exciting times ahead' as they listed the ' Arthurs seat beauty ' in the Mornington Peninsula hinterland.
Listed with a $2.85m-$3m asking price, it is not yet clear what was paid for the property, which records show has been on the market since March — though the Judd's plans to sell first emerged in February.
Marshall White Stonnington director Ben Vieth handled the sale, and yesterday confirmed the deal but not a price.
However, Mr Vieth said the result had been a happy one for the buyers and sellers.
'It's a really good result for everyone,' he said.
'And Bec and Chris are excited to announce what's next, but I'm not privy to that yet.'
The renovations were overseen by the Judds and The Melbourne Builder & Co with the gardens designed by Nathan Burkett Landscape Architecture.
While the home was being marketed Mr Vieth described it as 'literally a compound which you turn up to on the weekend and it has everything'.
After its sale he added that while the pair would be sad to say farewell to a place they had enjoyed with their family, the fact they had proudly put their name to the home had helped convince the buyers of the quality of the works.
'This was genuinely designed by Bec, and it speaks for itself,' Mr Vieth said.
Among the landscaping there is a pool, lake, dam and a pavilion.
The property is also close to wineries and beaches.
Records show the Judd's bought the home for $1,212,500 in 2016, with the Mornington Peninsula experiencing a property market surge during the pandemic that followed.
PropTrack data shows that in May, 2015, the median house price for the municipality was $550,000, but that figure more than doubled to $1.23m by 2022.
However, it has subsequently dropped to $1.085m.
Today, top-end buyer's agent Matthew Cleverdon from Morell and Koren said 'there are opportunities presenting' on the Mornington Peninsula for buyers who were patient.

Australia could be in a per capita recession if GDP slumps significantly, economists warn
Top economists fear Australia could return to a per capita recession when the March quarterly figures are released on Wednesday. The nation was in a per capita recession – where population growth alone kept Australia out of an official recession – for seven straight quarters before economic activity picked up again in December. Growth is tipped to sink again in the March quarter, ahead of the ABS releasing the official data at 11.30am. Oxford Economics Australia lead economist Ben Udy told NewsWire previous partials released, including retail spending and current account balance, painted a worrying picture ahead of the full picture being revealed. 'It could push us back into a per capita recession, but it is not something I would worry about too heavily,' he said. 'The economy is just stalling and will pick up in the months ahead.' Mr Udy is currently forecasting quarterly growth of around 0.1 to 0.2 per cent when the numbers are released. Independent economist Saul Eslake agreed, telling NewsWire he no longer makes his own assessment of these figures, but based on current market forecasts, Australia could slide back into the negatives. 'The market has been forecasting [a quarterly forecast of] 0.4 per cent. 'You had a minus 0.1 from net exports but had a plus 0.1 from net inventories, so that is a wash. 'We know business investment was soft in the March quarter, it could be a tad less than 0.4'. 'If it is, that might show up as another quarter of negative per capita growth because we had seven in a row and then had an eighth that was positive.' Mr Udy also pointed to other key data from the ABS, including government consumption, retail sales and trade, all showing weak partial data prints. But he said these were driven by a number of one-off factors, including higher interest rates, low levels of consumer confidence and ex-tropical cyclone Alfred in Queensland disrupting economic activity. 'Importantly a number of these factors have been in play for a while but have been offset by strong growth in the public sector which waned in Q1,' he said. The economist said if Wednesday's figures show a per capita recession, the economy would likely snap out of it quickly, albeit starting from a low point. 'If GDP per capita was to decline in the first quarter, we would expect it to pick up pretty quickly in the months ahead,' he said.

Anthony Albanese leaves door ajar to super tax compromise with Coalition
You can now listen to The Australian's articles. Give us your feedback. You can now listen to The Australian's articles. Anthony Albanese has opened the door to rewriting his proposed superannuation tax hikes to strike a deal with the Coalition that would sideline the Greens, as business calls for a new era of bipartisanship to enact generational reforms that address the nation's growing economic challenges. The Prime Minister welcomed signs the Coalition was willing to negotiate on legislation, with a renewed appetite for consensus to be tested on budget repair, productivity-enhancing reforms, environmental law reforms, a 2035 emissions reduction target, cuts to student debt and Australia's response to geostrategic and trade challenges in the era of Donald Trump. After opposition Treasury spokesman Ted O'Brien told The Australian on Sunday he would be willing to consider a deal on superannuation reform if Labor axed the model to tax unrealised capital gains, Mr Albanese said on Tuesday the government could not pass legislation through parliament on its own. When asked if he would consider tweaking the superannuation proposal to win the support of the Coalition, Mr Albanese said: 'We do not have a majority in the Senate; we obviously work with different parties.' With Labor needing the support of either the Coalition or the Greens to pass legislation through the Senate, Mr Albanese urged the opposition to back his election promise to cut student debt by 20 per cent when parliament resumed in July. 'If the signal from the Coalition is across the board – I'm not talking specifically (about superannuation) here – that they will be more constructive and not just be part of a no-alition with the Greens party, then that would be welcome,' Mr Albanese said. 'I think people in the last term of parliament saw a Coalition that was just committed to blocking everything: housing investment, support for further investment in education.' Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry chief executive Andrew McKellar said business would welcome a constructive approach between the major parties, rather than giving the Greens final say on legislation. 'From a business point of view, wherever possible, we want to see constructive engagement between the major parties to get policy outcomes that are in the national interest,' Mr McKellar said. 'We would prioritise anything that is around issues that go to productivity, competitiveness, energy solutions. 'If there's a bunch of issues that are left to be resolved at the mercy of the Greens, then I think business would have very significant concerns that is not going to lead to outcomes which are in the interest of the nation or of our economic performance.' Jim Chalmers' plans to double the tax on superannuation earnings for balances above $3m to 30 per cent without indexation also includes a new tax on unrealised capital gains, which business figures and senior economists have condemned. The Australian has spoken to senior Labor MPs who are opposed to the model of taxing unrealised capital gains. Mr O'Brien has made clear a new model would be needed for the Coalition to be open to any proposal to raise more revenue through superannuation, with the 'red line' being taxing unrealised capital gains and a lack of indexation. A deal between Labor and the Greens would see the unrealised capital gains model be retained and potentially impact more people than the Treasurer intended. Mr O'Brien will tell an event hosted by the Property Council of Australia on Wednesday that Labor's proposal would make housing even less affordable, as investors moved their money out of superannuation into property to avoid the tax. 'In principle, regardless of what policies come forward, as an opposition we will be constructive where we can and critical where we must,' he will say, according to draft comments provided to The Australian. 'If Mr Albanese is fair dinkum about speaking with the Coalition on his super tax he needs to know that we find this entire proposal repugnant. The Coalition believes in lower simpler and fairer taxes. It just so happens that Labor's super tax is super big and super bad.' Mr Albanese's comments build pressure on Dr Chalmers, who has faced an onslaught of criticism over his tax grab, which could dampen the amount of money superannuants invest in start-ups, green and renewable companies, mining and critical minerals explorers, farmers and property investors. Senior Liberal MPs said they were shocked to find Mr O'Brien had spoken in favour of negotiating with Labor on higher superannuation taxes in exchange for dumping the unrealised gains tax proposal, with any deal likely to cause serious division within the Coalition. But there are members of shadow cabinet and Liberal luminaries who favour striking a deal with the government. The Coalition has a shadow cabinet meeting this Thursday, with one Liberal MP saying it could be 'messy', amid a push for the focus of the meeting to be on the 'principle' of being against higher taxes. Former Treasury spokesman Angus Taylor – whose supporters are likely to lead the charge against a deal with Labor – went to the last election opposing any new taxes on superannuation. But his plan also included higher income taxes than Labor, bigger deficits for two years, a failure to forecast a surplus and very little economic reform. On Labor's current model, tax experts are concerned superannuants have already started shifting assets out of their accounts, putting in doubt that the $40bn in revenue the federal government is expected to receive from the tax over the next decade. The Parliamentary Budget Office, which costed the Coalition's policy to scrap Labor's unrealised capital gains tax plan, says taxpayers would be hit with a $5.5bn bill over the forward estimates, including more than $2.4bn by the fourth year, and almost $7bn a year within 10 years. An tax office spokesman said the department was concerned about changes in behaviour of superannuants as more people become aware of the impact. 'While the legislation is yet to pass parliament, we have seen some early suggestions that private groups may seek to alter their arrangements to limit their exposure to the proposed Division 296 tax in case the legislation is passed at a later date,' the spokesman said. 'Our focus is on understanding emerging issues and ensuring we are well-positioned to respond to any risks that may arise and ensure that private groups are made aware of any potential tax consequences for entities within their group as a result of any changes to their arrangements.' Thousands of people have signed a petition launched by Wilson Asset Management chairman Geoff Wilson to stop the unrealised gains component of the proposal.

TGA approves Mounjaro as first medicine registered to treat obstructive sleep apnoea in adults with obesity
Don't miss out on the headlines from Lifestyle. Followed categories will be added to My News. A new drug is expected to be approved by Australia's Therapeutic Goods Association (TGA) as the first ever prescribed medicinal treatment for Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA). The medicine, called Mounjaro (tirzepatide) is designed specifically to treat adults with OSA - a disease which affects around 780,000 Australians. The drug is designed specifically to help treat people who are diagnosed with OSA as a result of obesity given the strong link that exists between both conditions. Andrew Beveridge with the machine that helps him breath at night during sleep. Picture: Tricia Watkinson Respiratory and sleep specialist Professor Brendon Yee said the drug was a 'treatment option' for patients with moderate-to-severe OSA. 'You wouldn't use this medication in sleep apnoea patients who are not obese - which is maybe about 20% of patients,' Professor Yee said. 'There isn't one kind of treatment for the disease…it's important to assess patients based on what the best treatment is for them. Sometimes it may be a combination of things, for instance a combination of weight loss plus a trial of CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) machines,' he said. 'Mounjaro is private script only, it's TGA approved. It's based on a sleep study and patients have to have obesity… it has the advantage that people can lose weight… but you have to sustain that weight loss.' Damon Sedgwick works in IT and loves performing in amateur theatre - something he found himself doing less and less after he was diagnosed with OSA. 'My partner noticed I was snoring in bed and I would stop breathing at times. I went and had a sleep study and was diagnosed with OSA,' Mr Wedgwick said. 'I tried to use a CPAP…I was using it and I did have a lot of success, but I was still overweight and I still had a dependence on the machine. It was a bit of a burden,' he said. Mounjaro fat-loss drug. Picture: Supplied 'A professor put me in touch with the Woolcock Institute…they said there's a new drug they're trialling and I said yes… the outcome of that after I finished was that I lost about 50 kilos.' Mr Sedgwick said he was able to reclaim the parts of his life which had been put on hold. 'It made a massive difference to my life. I don't snore at night anymore. I used to wake up 60 times on any given night, and now I barely do it once. It's good to be able to move - even walking to the shops is easy now,' he said. 'It's not a miracle shot. It's not a magic bullet, you have to work hard. I still have to watch what I eat and drink, I still have to exercise. It can't be used in isolation, you have to put the hard yards in.'
