Longmoat investment group director Neill Whiston and his wife Jane have emerged as the $12.5 million buyers of Semloh Cove Estate at Palm Beach.
It ranks as the second-highest sale in the pricey coastal suburb this year.
They snapped up the Walter Barda pavilion-style home after just one inspection through LJ Hooker Palm Beach’s David Edwards.
It had been the weekender of former Channel 7 boss Ian Holmes and wife Ann who paid $4 million in 2008.
Set on 690 square metre, the four-level home has four bedrooms, a billiards room and a heated swimming pool and spa.
