Bali Body founders sell their Mediterranean-inspired Mt Martha home

‘Scala House’ at 24 Dominion Rd, Mount Martha has sold for $4.7m.

Aussie skin care entrepreneurs Laura Foley and Dave Oosterloo have sold their Mediterranean-style Mount Martha abode for just under their price hopes.

Listed in November with a $4.8m-$5.2m price guide, the four-bedroom house ‘Scala House’ at 24 Dominion Rd sold for $4.7m in the first week of January.

The couple launched their sun care, self tan and skincare company Bali Body in 2014 with the goal of creating a brand that’s cruelty free and for sensitive skin, which can now be purchased in more than 150 countries.

It’s understood the brand rakes in $2m a month in sales, and the founders signed a $30m deal with Coles towards the end of last year, and they’ve just offloaded their beloved residence designed by Wolveridge Architects and built by Ongarello.

Ms Foley said they were thrilled with the outcome, and were excited for the new owners who would be able to enjoy the home they built.

She added that the pair had purchased another property in the area and were planning to build another abode.

The enclosed pool house integrated with the main residence, featuring a bar fridge and a place to lounge.

Curves, texture and minimalism are consistent design elements throughout the residence.

The open plan kitchen and living space is the centrepiece of the home, featuring Patagonian Quartzite stonework.

Three large bedrooms with bookshelves and built-in wardrobes lead towards the primary bedroom wing, which has a walk-in wardrobe and ensuite.

There’s also an enclosed pool house part of the main residence with bar fridges adjacent from the pool and spa.

Warlimont & Nutt Real Estate Mt Martha director Trent Cameron said the couple were really happy with the sale and were looking forward to their next journey.

“We had interest in the property from the day it was put online,” Mr Cameron said.

“For quality homes in great locations, I find there are still buyers out there … we’re still finding that they’re still purchasing.”

The kitchen fitted with Patagonian Quartzite and integrated dishwasher and fridge.

Natural light pours into the open plan living and dining space from the large, curved windows.

He added that the agency was receiving inquiries from prospective buyers looking for properties like this one in the area.

Mr Cameron told the Herald Sun earlier that the couple’s decision to sell their home wasn’t initially part of their plan, but were drawn to other opportunities.
