Ricky and Rianna Ponting buy Portsea weekender

The former Australian cricket captain turned commentator Ricky Ponting and his wife Rianna have bought in Portsea.

The couple paid $3.51 million for the home, close to Fishermans Beach which had a $775,000 build in 2009.

The four-bedroom, three-bathroom will be a weekender from their home on Brighton’s “golden mile”, which they bought for $10 million in 2013.

The two levels home has a resort style heated pool and spa along with in-ground trampoline and basketball practice area on its 1,068 square metres.

It was sold by Sothebys who struggled to find a buyer with the property listed for more than 300 days.
