An Australian actress, along with her Academy Award-nominated spouse, has purchased a luxurious property worth millions on the North Shore of Sydney.

The home maximizes natural lighting and includes five spacious bedrooms, one of which serves as an additional master suite or private guest quarters complete with its own bathroom.
There is also has a separate cabana with ensuite, storage and a Murphy bed.
In my expert opinion, this space offers a generously proportioned dining and living zone that boasts a suspended fireplace for cozy ambiance, alongside a conveniently placed TV screen in the lounge area.
Built-in bookshelves also open to reveal a climate-controlled cellar and tasting room.
The house is situated within lush, indigenous gardens and boasts a completely heated swimming pool tiled with Italian materials, as well as a gas hot tub.
According to a report, advertising executive Stuart Archibald is the new owner of the property, having bought it from Facebook’s former CEO, Paul Borrund, back in 2020.
At that time, the sale established a new benchmark, as the property was sold for an impressive $7.25 million – a significant $3 million more than the prior record-holder.
The property next door now holds the record after selling for $11.5million in 2021.
The article further disclosed that this duo additionally owns a property in Bowral, located within the New South Wales Southern Highlands region, which they acquired back in 2017 for a price tag of $1,775,000.

In the upcoming dark comedy “The Roses,” she is set to appear alongside acting stars such as Olivia Coleman, Benedict Cumberbatch, and Allison Janney. Notably, this film is also co-written by her very productive spouse.
This year, Belinda stepped into the role of a director for the first time, showcasing her short film titled “Glove” during Flickerfest 2025.
Apart from Tony, his professional background is quite noteworthy, amassing various accolades, such as a BAFTA award for the exceptional original screenplay category in 2018 for the critically acclaimed film The Favourite.
Alongside Deborah Davis, Tony was among the ten nominees for the Best Original Screenplay Academy Award that same year, as our film garnered multiple nominations.
