Popular Nova drive radio star Kate Ritchie has offloaded Fallow Field, her Burradoo weekender.
She’s taken advantage of the booming market in the Southern Highlands, which has seen prices skyrocket due to the COVID-19 triggered exodus from Sydney.
Ritchie paid $1.75 million for the heritage estate in 2016 when it was bought with her then husband of six years, the former rugby league player Stuart Webb.

Why this humble house attracted 31 bidders
Ritchie bought the home in 2016.
The home has four bedrooms.
It resold off market for $3.2 million earlier this month while Ritchie was spotted holding hands with youthful businessman boyfriend John Bell as they holidayed in Byron Bay.
There was a rare reveal of the weekender when a photo of Fallow Field was posted to her 320,000 Instagram followers on her last day of ownership, with the cryptic caption: “Some things stand the test of time.”

The four-bedroom, three bathroom weekender set down a private, tree-lined driveway has been bought by builder Robert Sellors and wife Kate, who sold their Paddington terrace for just over $3.7 million late last year. As well as the residence, the 6420sqm holding comes with a late 1800s carriage house with a hayloft.
There is also a carriage house.
Ritchie still has a house in Randwick.
It is not Ritchie’s only disposal, as last November she offloaded her long-held Bellevue Hill investment apartment for $885,000. She had paid $335,000 for the two bed apartment in 2000 when she was just 22, and had been affectionately known as Sally Fletcher on Home And Away for 14 years.
It leaves Ritchie with the house in Randwick, bought for $990,000 in 2003 when upsizing from Bellevue Hill.
