The couple had spent two years renovating the property, which they had previously bought for $7million in 2014.
In January, Elsa spoke to Vogue Australia about their experience Down Under, saying their old life in Hollywood had been ‘consuming’.
‘I feel Hollywood consumes you in such a way that it feels like work all the time. I think when you’re in it you don’t even realise but when you get out, it changes everything,’ Elsa said.

She added that she had always dreamed of raising her children in nature, and relocating to the Australian coast allowed her to do that.
‘I wanted to pick my kids up, I wanted to take them to school, I wanted to be part of the school and be involved in what they do,’ she said.
Life in Byron Bay has also allowed Elsa to have a farm with horses, which she regularly rides with her daughter, India.
