The family moved to the tax free haven so the former world number one could be closer to tournaments in the US and Europe.

In 2011, Bec and Lleyton tried to sell the property for $15 million, but there was no interest.

They tried again in 2014 with a lower asking price of $10 million, however there were still no offers.
