Pearl Beach

<html><body>
NSW’s Minister for the Arts Don ­Harwin has bought at Pearl Beach, the rather creative community on the Central Coast.
Harwin snapped up a three-bedroom investment property just 10 days into its marketing, paying around $1.3 million.
Set 300 metres from the beach, the home had been listed unsuccessfully last year at $1.49 million.
It was playwright David Williamson who enjoyed and then captured the hamlet’s essence during his extended ownership.
Pearl Beach helped inspire his 17th play, Money And Friends.
The now Noosa-based Williamson and his wife Kirstin first bought there in 1979 for $55,000.
Over the decades owners have included television interviewer Andrew Denton, arts philanthropist ­Sophie Landa, actor Robyn Nevin and historian Keith Windschuttle.
Harwin sold at Vincentia on the South Coast in 2017 for $649,000.

Creek Cottage, the Pearl Beach home of the late conservat­ionist Vincent Serventy and his wife Carol, has been sold for $1.4 million.
The Serventy’s, who 30 years ago helped save the Great Barrier Reef from planned oil leases, bought the NSW Central Coast weekender in the mid-1970s for $22,000, moving there per­manently in the 1990s from Hunters Hill. It came to the market earlier this year with $1.5 million hopes through Central Coast Realty agent Stuart Gan, but sold after the price guidance dipped to $1.35 million to $1.45 million.

Set on Diamond Rd, the four-bedroom home is 100 paces from the popular beach.
The home, described as a “once in a generation opportunity” is among the 12 sales ­secured so far this year among the 680 Pearl Beach houses.
The dearest was when Rebel Sports co-founder Robert Gavshon and his wife Jennifer pocketed $2.05 million for their weekender of the past decade. The Dover Heights-based couple upgraded last year to a $4.428 million house on the beach.
Serventy, known as father of conservation in Australia, died aged 91 in 2007.
Long before Steve Irwin, he spent almost seven decades as a lobbyist, writer, filmmaker and lecturer. He wrote more than 70 books, articles and lectures on conservation being in the forefront of battles that saved the Great Barrier Reef, the Franklin River, the northern hairy-nosed wombat and even the migratory wading birds of Botany Bay.
It was in the 1960s when Serventy wrote to then Nine Network boss Sir Frank Packer with a documentary suggestion.
Packer relocated Serventy and his wife to Sydney, bought them a four-wheel-drive and a caravan and Nature Walkabout, Australian television’s first environment program, was aired. He also wrote for The Daily Telegraph.
Serventy’s brother Dominic was a journalist who turned ornithologist and conservationist, co-founding the Western Australian Naturalists’ Club in 1924.

The Blackmore's chief executive Christine Holgate has finally sold her redundant Central Coast weekender.
A price reduction six months ago to $2.2 million has prompted the Pearl Beach sale that was initially listed with $2.6 million hopes with PRD Ettalong Beach agent Stuart Gan over a year ago.
She paid $2.3 million for the bushland retreat in 2008.
The four bedroom home had been deemed surplus to requirements to the head of the vitamin tablet company, who upgraded weekenders last October when she spent $5.2 million on a Walter Barda-designed beachfront.
It too traded at a loss since $5.8 million was paid in 2009 when billionaire retail king Brett Blundy bought from the former Photon Group executive chairman Tim Hughes and his wife, Jackie.
Holgate's Blackmore shares saw trading at $220 record highs earlier this year as they have tapped into the Chinese market for vitamin E, selling some 500,000 tubs a month. They are now trading at $112 on the ASX.
Last December she offloaded $4 million in Blackmores shares at around $171 a share, disclosuring to the ASX that she was "soon to be married" and had sold the shares to help fund the new home.
The UK born Holgate married her partner Michael Harding at a ceremony in the English coastal town of Aldeburgh earlier this year.

Blackmore's chief finally sells Central Coast weekender

<html><body>
Blackmore's chief executive Christine Holgate has scheduled her redundant Pearl Beach weekender for October 29 auction.
It comes with <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-nsw-pearl+beach-121137042" target="_blank">$2 million to $2.2 million price guidance</a>, a year after being listed with $2.45 million hopes. 
The listing follows the head of the vitamin tablet company spending $5.2 million last October to upgrade to the beachfront at the Central Coast weekender location.
The Walter Barda-designed beachfront had previously traded at $5.8 million in 2009 when the retail warehouse industry billionaire Brett Blundy bought from the former Photon Group executive chairman Tim Hughes and his wife, Jackie.
Holgate's now redundant, nearby bushland retreat was bought for $2.3 million in 2008.
It has been listed through Stuart Gan of PRD Nationwide Ettalong, and seems likely to be likewise sold at less than its last purchase price.
Her Blackmore shares saw trading at $220 record highs earlier this year as they have tapped into the Chinese market for vitamin E, selling some 500,000 tubs a month. They are now trading at $100 less on the ASX.
The UK born Holgate married her partner Michael Harding at a ceremony in the English coastal town of Aldeburgh earlier this year.
Last December she offloaded $4 million in Blackmores shares, giving the excuse in a disclosure to the ASX that she was "soon to be married" and had sold the shares to help fund the new home.
