Block judge Marty Fox lists $13m Toorak mansion after baring backside in viral post
The Block judge Marty Fox has gone the full monty in Toorak, baring his backside in a cheeky Instagram post to help sell his own $13m designer digs. The Whitefox founder and luxury property specialist used the stripped-back post to prove a point about the home's complete privacy, and launched one of the most headline-grabbing listings in Toorak's recent memory. 'You can walk out into the yard here and you are in the middle of the best urban postcode Australia has to offer,' the post read. 'Yet, not a single person can look at you if you decide to walk the entire property from front to back in the nude.' Now for sale with a $12m-$13m price guide, the renovated five-bedroom estate occupies more than 1400sq m across a merged double block between Toorak and Hawksburn villages. Fox and his wife Charlotte purchased the home in 2021 and began renovating it before settlement under a licence to occupy. The couple moved in the day before Charlotte gave birth to their third child, Bonnie. Six months later, the pair bought the neighbouring property at the rear and joined the two blocks, creating one of the suburb's most complete lifestyle estates — combining urban seclusion with resort-grade features. Originally built in the 1890s, the home was reimagined under the direction of Castley McCrimmon Architects and built by DOME, with interior finishes hand-picked to reflect the couple's timeless design philosophy. Full-slab Italian marble has been used throughout, alongside Murano glass chandeliers, Venetian plaster walls, Perrin & Rowe tapware, chevron oak floors and antique light fittings sourced by Charlotte in Europe. Landscaping by Nathan Burkett frames the home's rear garden, which includes a heated pool, gym cabana with ensuite, wellness deck with sauna and ice bath, and a pickleball court. The garden has been described in marketing as 'Front Garden of the Year material'. The home is being listed by Whitefox Stonnington director Lana Samuels, a prestige agent and social media influencer known for her reach and local buyer network. Listing material calls the property 'a landmark single-level sanctuary' and 'a once-in-a-generation opportunity' to secure a luxury home of this scale and quality in the heart of Melbourne's most exclusive postcode. Fox has described it as the couple's most personal project yet, and one that became the backdrop to milestone family and business moments — including the conversation that led to his appointment on The Block. Expressions of interest close at 3pm on Tuesday, June 24.

The Block judge Marty Fox and his wife Charlotte list their lavish Toorak home on the market for $13million - and it features one VERY unique outdoor amenity
The Block judge Marty Fox and his wife Charlotte have listed their Toorak home on the market for between $12 - $13million, four years after purchasing it. The couple bought the lavish 1890-built - located in Melbourne 's wealthiest suburb - for $7.2 million in 2021, and did extensive renovations before moving in. The pair made sure to keep the home's historic charm while adding contemporary luxury and amenities. 'It's the largest landholding between Hawksburn and Toorak Villages,' Marty told 'We bought it on a six-month settlement and actually renovated it before moving into it.' From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. The renovation was completed in a rapid four months while Charlotte was pregnant with their third child. The decision to sell came as a surprise to many as they previously described the property as their 'forever home'. The renovation was done in collaboration with Castley McCrimmon Architects and Dome Building. The couple enhanced the home's period details with additions like bi-folds, period French windows and custom skylights. Stylish features also include chevron floors, ornate fireplaces and a pristine kitchen adorned with marble accents and brass hardware. The property also boasts an outdoor oasis complete with a pool, gym, sauna and a unique addition - a pickleball court - made possible through strategic negotiations with neighbouring property owners. 'Our business is growing, and we're travelling a lot,' Marty explained of their decision to sell. 'We feel that our dream is to be able to have a home in Queenstown, New Zealand, a home on the Gold Coast – which we now have – and a smaller home in Melbourne.' Expressions of interest remain open until June 24. Marty is the chief executive of WHITE FOX Real Estate, which he co-founded with his wife. He first appeared on the 2023 season of The Block as a semi-regular judge and returned for the following season. He featured on Nine's hit series as a judge alongside Shaynna Blaze and Darren Palmer. The reality TV star started carving out his career as a real estate agent at the age of 21 before going on to start his own agency. Marty previously revealed he tried to get permission to bid in the 2024 Block auction after being left impressed by one team in particular. The entrepreneur explained he tried to get Channel Nine's permission to submit a bid in the auction but was knocked back. The judges do not put forward any of their offers of their own.
