Widow of late cricket legend Dean Jones’ lists their family home
The family home of the late cricketing legend Dean Jones has been listed for sale by his wife Jane.
The Macedon Ranges property where late Australian cricketer, coach and commentator lived with his family has been listed by his wife, Jane Jones with price hopes of $2.4 million.
The batsman resided at the 9-13 William St, Romsey, estate for over 30 years with his wife and their two daughters, Phoebe and Isabella, before his tragic death in 2020.
Ms Jones said her husband always enjoyed coming back to the tranquil property after the “hustle and bustle of cricket life”.
“With the amount of travelling he did, he had a big career overseas in India and Pakistan so he wasn’t home very much,” she said.
“But when he did come home he just loved the country lifestyle and kicking back and relaxing after being on the road for eight months of the year.”
The sprawling 3501sq m property has a history dating back to 1900 when it was built by the local White family, who were one of three owners of the estate over its lifetime.
Jellis Craig Woodend agent Leanne Pearman said the property also had “beautiful oak trees” in the backyard which were planted in the 1890s and were now heritage listed.
Over the Jones’ 33 years in the four-bedroom house, Jane completed and oversaw many renovations including upgrades to the kitchen and bathrooms.
There are also seven original fireplaces throughout, plus glass doors leading to an indoor heated swimming pool with a sauna and a gym, all opening to the outdoor kitchen and terrace.
