Wallis Island is a nature reserve near Forster, New South Wales, Australia. It was created in January 1983 and covers an area of 584ha (454.5 acres). It sits within Wallis Lake, just south of the Coolongolook River. It is known for the Forster (Wallis Island) Airport and a $20 million Australian chateau.
Chateau Le Marais is a 15-year labour of love for former Woollahra antiques dealers Andre and Cecile Fink, who reportedly snapped up the once virgin island parcel in 1996 for a modest $290,000.
The luxurious property was initially intended to serve as the Finks' home and as a showroom for their antiques. However, following the 2007 financial crisis, the Finks' antique business took a hit and, in 2010, the couple were forced to put up the incomplete mansion for sale in 2010, with a price tag of $20 million.
