The couple had previously purchased the four-bedroom, three-bathroom property in 2014 for $2.35million, two years before tying the knot.
While the exterior of the property has caused much debate over the years, photos published by The Wentworth Courier showed off a tasteful interior and resort-style courtyard with a pool.
In May 2017, Jesinta and Buddy gave their two-storey residence a makeover, changing the beige and white facade to dark charcoal.

However, the paint job was not well-received by style and design experts.
Interior designer Juliet Love told Realestate.com.au at the time that the facelift was a bold move but wasn’t well executed.
In 2018, the couple went one step further with their home’s striking makeover by adding a stone exterior wall and a wooden door gate that matched the dark colour of the facade.
