NEED TO KNOW
- Samantha Armytage’s Hyams Beach home has sold for around $3 million
- The home has been on and off the market since 2023
- Sam rented out the property as a holiday rental for $1200 a night
After spending an extended period available for sale since December 2023, the waterfront beach shack owned and renovated by the TV personality Samantha Armytage has finally sold for around $3 million.
Samantha put the renovated beach shack up for sale after her split from Richard Lavender, her husband of four years. Having moved out of the horse breeder’s Southern Highlands home, there was initially speculation that Samantha was planning to spend time in her South Coast home.
While Sam herself has enjoyed many blissful escapes to her Hyams Beach property in recent years with Richard and her beloved late Labrador Retriever, Banjo, she’s also shared it with holiday goers, renting it for short-term stays on Airbnb for $1200 a night.
Sam purchased the property, located on a pristine stretch of coastline right between Hyams Beach and Chinamans Beach in 2018 for $1.765 million and promptly refreshed the interiors, swapping out nautical decor for a chic, all-white colour palette.
Before and after
Samantha Armytage isn’t the only Australian celebrity who has been drawn to Hyams Beach’s glorious white sand and salty sea air. INXS drummer Jon Farris once lived just doors down from Samantha’s weekender, while The Block judge Darren Palmer recently opened the doors to his Hyams Beach hideaway ‘Akora Cottage’.
The NSW South Coast property isn’t Sam’s only waterfront abode—she also enjoys waterfront views at her property in Sydney’s Rushcutter’s Bay or retreat to her idyllic country home in the NSW Southern Highlands.
