According to Core Logic RP Data figures, the 12-month median house sale price for Caringbah South was just $1.23 million — just a fraction of the estimated cost of the sport star’s glamorous pad.

The most paid for a home in the suburb, which has been a favourite with sports stars including Shane Watson and Lee Furlong who sold there for a reported $3.9 million last year, was $8.5 million, paid late last year for a five-bedroom house on 4600sq m.

Now living in China after Cahill signed a $10 million deal with Shanghai Shenhua, the famous footballer, his wife Rebekah Greenhill and their four children have not called the 1260sq m pile home for years.

“Obviously not many people have known about this house,” Cahill told the Sunday Telegraph last month.

“It’s where I used to go if I got injured to do my rehab quietly, go fishing, or just chill in the cinema room and not leave the house, especially when I had big tournaments or games,” he said.

“No one knew I was there and there was no excuse to ever leave.”

“The one thing I like about the home is being in my own exclusive area and not having to leave the house, which might sound boring, but that’s who I am,” he said.

“I’m not in the country often, so it’s more for practical reasons. A home like that is something for a lifetime and needs to be enjoyed properly with family.”

The property in the Sutherland Shire was described by Cahill as an ideal family home. Source: Supplied
