They’ve paid $1,382,500 for a 2010-built, four-bedroom house. It sits on a 2446 sqm land parcel, not far from Caroline’s parents.
Duncan Hill Property agent Duncan Hill sold the home to the couple who had been based at Pymble for the past decade.
They paid $2.4 million for the five-bedroom Pymble Ave home with tennis court and saltwater pool in 2008, shortly after it was built.
When they lived in Melbourne during Stirling’s time with the Rebels, they leased the home at $1900 a week.
Mortlock is currently a partner at Unio Advisors having previously spent six years as a wealth director at NAB following his retirement from the game.
He captained the Wallabies, Brumbies and Melbourne Rebels over his illustrious 14 year career.
