The house mangoes bought: Farmers snap up ‘Jim Beam House’ for record price

Key points

• Darwin's Jim Beam House at 94 East Point Rd, Fannie Bay, has sold for $10 million to mango growers Nino and Tina Niceforo. The price beat the Northern Territory residential sales record of $8.5 million, set in 2022.
• The seller, John Robinson, is a tourism and hospitality entrepreneur. Selling agent Seth Chin said the sale reflected confidence in the Territory economy and property market, and that Darwin's top end was performing strongly while southern markets slowed.
• The home was built in the 1980s for bourbon importer Norm Forster.
