Model Jennifer Hawkins is selling a Lake Macquarie district investment, one of the last homes in her once extensive investment portfolio.
Hawkins, who was born in Newcastle, is seeking between $800,000 and $880,000 for the three-bedroom Minmi home, about 20km inland from the centre of Newcastle.

Hawkins paid $345,000 in 2008, a year after she signed her reputed $4m deal with Myer.
The single-level brick and tiled home on 664sq m features a back deck that overlooks a large lawn with a “man shed”. The home backs on to a reserve.
The marketing by First National Lake Macquarie Edgeworth agent Troy Duncan suggests the potential rental return could be $700 a week for an investor.

In 2016, Hawkins offloaded another investment that had been the first property she ever bought. The three-bedroom Merewether house cost $469,000 in 2006 and was sold for $731,000. Hawkins has been an avid property owner over near two decades, including apartments in Bondi and Coogee.
She’s also built homes with her husband, builder Jake Wall, who heads construction company J Group Projects.
