‘Collection’ on island

JOHN Calleija, international jeweller, and wife Noni obviously view Ephraim Island in the Broadwater as a rare gem – Calleija cash spent there has just topped $8.5 million.

The buying, in Noni’s name, started last year when three waterfront lots were bought from the Ridong group for $5.35 million, deals which came after Calleija sold up at Sanctuary Cove for $10.9 million.

A freestanding waterfront home a stroll away has just been added to the Calleija ‘collection’ for $3.165 million.
