‘Extremely low': Mummy blogger Constance Hall's home sale
Mummy blogger Constance Hall has sold the bohemian home she owned with her estranged husband after a prolonged campaign plagued by a low-ball offer from a high-profile buyer.
Aussie mummy blogger Constance Hall has sold the home she owned with her estranged husband following a 'stressful' campaign.
The mum-of-seven, best known for her gritty Facebook blog, revealed she fielded 'extremely low cash offers from very rich well-known families' over the four months since her home was listed with a $1.295m asking price.
In a post shared with her 1.3m followers, Hall said she struggled with 'opening my home every week for the local public to judge'.
'It's more because of the haters and…the ones who love a bit of goss,' she shared.
'That was more stressful than I thought it would be.
'The more public life's become the more private I've made my home.'
She said she was starting to fear the 'right buyer might never come', revealing another hopeful buyer's finance had fell through.
Property records show Hall purchased the six-bedroom, two-bathroom house in Margaret River, Western Australia with former partner Bill Mahon for $580,000 in 2016.
She split from Mahon the following year, with the British carpenter levelling cheating allegations her way, two years after Hall's post describing the couple's 'parent sex' went viral.
The home, described as a 'art house treehouse…fit for a queen', was marketed by Mi Casa Property Boutique agent Leann Jones.
It was marked as 'under offer', however the sale price was not disclosed ahead of settlement.
Set mid tall gum trees on a 501 sqm lot, the house was designed by a local architect and built in 2008, undergoing a major renovation in 2018.
Luxury home up for sale is motorhead's dream
Features include polished concrete walls and high timber ceilings, with wide sliding glass doors framing green views.
The home has eclectic detailing throughout, including a beautiful painted mural wall and colourful tiles, along with tropical water features, a herb garden, outdoor bath and Bali hut.
Ms Jones' listing describes the master bedroom as 'a Queen's retreat', accessed by a spiral staircase and featuring a private balcony and spa.
'The current owners have cherished the peace and serenity of this home, where doors have always remained unlocked — a true testament to the wonderful Margaret River community.
'This is more than a home — it's a lifestyle, a retreat, and a rare opportunity to create unforgettable memories for you and your loved ones.'
The 41-year-old personality, whose online fashion business was put into voluntary administration in 2024, had moved out of the three-storey house in 2020, after her partner Denim was injured in a motorcycle accident.
Records show she paid $1.03m for a 1950s-built house in a Perth suburb in 2023.
Hall revealed the family was planning an extension to their current home with 'the most epic kids' rooms with secret hidey holes and tunnels into their siblings' rooms', along with self-contained accommodation to help single mums in need.
PropTrack data shows a typical house in Margaret River costs $856,000, up 12.9 per cent since last year.

NSW government to cut 165 roles at only dedicated regional department
The state government has come under fire over plans to slash up to 165 jobs from the only department dedicated to regional NSW. The Department of Primary Industry and Regional Development (DPIRD) is expected to reduce its staff by about 4 per cent. More than 75 per cent of the department's staff live and work outside Sydney, with the headquarters based in Orange in the state's central west. NSW Nationals leader Dugald Saunders described the cuts as 'cruel' and a 'slap in the face to an agency that does immeasurable work' in the community. 'It's no secret Chris Minns and his government has a complete disregard for anyone who lives outside the city,' the opposition spokesman for regional NSW said. 'Some of the teams where these redundancies will come from include agriculture and biosecurity, regional development and delivery in the regional programs.' The Dubbo MP said it was 'concerning' the cuts would also impact the enabling services of the Rural Assistance Authority (RAA). The RAA is the lead agency responsible for providing financial assistance to rural and regional businesses, including after natural disasters. 'We've seen devastating floods on the mid-north coast and drought impacting much of southern NSW,' Mr Saunders said. 'How can the government possibly justify this decision.' In a statement, a DPIRD spokesperson said the changes would 'enable us to work in a sustainable and responsible way, while maintaining service levels'. 'The changes will include a realignment of staff structures in several divisions across the department,' the spokesperson said. 'Some staffing changes are related to temporary roles. 'Other impacts include back office administrative roles and roles where duplication exists.' The spokesperson said all impacted staff would be supported, and ongoing employees would have the opportunity to be redeployed elsewhere in the public service. 'Comprehensive consultation will be undertaken with impacted staff and public sector unions, with feedback incorporated into final plans,' the spokesperson said. 'The number of staff impacted will be determined following the consultation and feedback process. At this stage, no final decisions have been made. 'There will be no changes to Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development office locations.' The number of staff at DPIRD has swelled in recent years by more than 1000 to about 4700 full-time employees by July 2023. Senior executive roles also increased. The cuts come after Transport for NSW secretary Josh Murray announced almost 1000 senior roles would be slashed. The Minns Labor government pledged in the lead-up to the 2023 state election to cut senior executive roles in the public service by 15 per cent. It is understood that both cuts to TfNSW and DPIRD are in pursuit of the state government's target.
