Blue Mountains property sale where Charlise Mutten allegedly murdered

The multi-million dollar Blue Mountains Wildenstein estate where nine-year-old Charlise Mutten was allegedly murdered is being prepared for sale.

The planned sale of the luxury 5ha property comes as the little girl’s troubled mother Kallista Mutten is due to appear in court this week over a home burglary with her daughter’s accused killer Justin Stein. 

Kallista is back in drug rehab as she awaits her court appearance on charges of stealing firearms and a large amount of family silver.

Her life appears to have taken a wrong turn at least five months before her daughter’s alleged murder at the property.  

Neighbours report a woman was in the company of Justin Stein living in ‘a brown hut’ on Wildenstein for several months in late 2021, when loud music, visitors and vehicles disturbed the tranquil Blue Mountains village. 

Police allege Ms Mutten, 39, broke into a property known as Sylvan Close in Mount Wilson on the evening of August 22 last year and stole two rifles and a large amount of silver cutlery and tableware collectively worth under $60,000.

The property, which is the home of a well-respected elderly Mount Wilson couple, is  a ten minute walk from Wildenstein.

Justin Stein, who is charged with the alleged murder of Kallista’s daughter Charlise in January, is also charged with stealing the firearms in an aggravated break and enter in company to steal goods not exceeding $60,000. 

He was charged in May with two counts of possess an unauthorised firearm, two of possess an unregistered firearm and possessing ammunition without a licence.

Kallista, who is currently in a drug rehab house in southwestern Sydney, spent a stint last November in a luxury rehab facility noted for its celebrity clients in Sydney’s eastern Suburbs.

While in $20,000-a-month drug rehab The Clinic near Bronte Beach, Ms Mutten boasted of having sex with Stein in the back of his red ute when he drove down from Mount Wilson to visit her there.

Daily Mail Australia has learned Stein was regularly coming and going with a woman from Wildenstein the second half of last year.

The 5ha multimillion dollar property which Justin’s brother James Stein Jnr and his husband, Keegan Buzza, ran as a wedding venue, is the scene of the alleged murder of Charlise Mutten, 9.

Police allege Justine Stein shot and killed the girl, who was staying with Kallista during school holidays, between 7pm, January 11, and 10am, January, placed her body in a barrel in the back of his red ute and dumped it 65km away on the Colo River.

 Daily Mail Australia understands the property, bought in 1989 by Justin’s parents James Stein Snr and Annemie Stein, is to be put up for sale.

A real estate agent told Daily Mail Australia the property was coming on to the market soon and the alleged crime which took place there would have to be disclosed as a ‘material fact’ to prospective buyers, lowering the sale price.

The Stein family’s association with the ill-fated property began a year before Justin Stein was born, when the Steins moved from Western Australia to NSW.

Annemie Stein recently shut up shop at the family’s iconic jewellery store Martin & Stein in the heritage-listed Queen Victoria building after 50 years in the antiques and decorative arts business in WA and NSW.

Wildenstein was developed as a wedding location by James Stein Jnr after his own marriage there to radio broadcaster Keegan Buzza in 2015.

AFL star Buddy Franklin and his Miss Universe Australia 2010 wife Jesinta married there in 2016 and TV reporter Julie Snook and actor Hugo Johnstone-Burt held there wedding there in 2021, just 10 months before Charlise Mutten’s death.

However a Mount Wilson villager said the property was not often used as a wedding venue and that last year it had been Justin Stein’s ‘friends’ frequenting its manicured grounds.

Since Charlise’s alleged murder, the property has been empty, visited only by a cleaner and a gardener to maintain it.

Kallista Mutten is believed to have visited Wildenstein in 2020 when the couple became engaged in a whirlwind romance following her 2019 prison release.

Ms Mutten was convicted in November, 2017 of dangerous driving occasioning death and driving with an illicit substance in her system for killing her 53-year-old friend Karen ‘Kaz’ Bunch after driving off road and into the Tweed River while high on ice.

She served two years in prison, before her social media posts show she had met Mr Stein and embarked on a quickfire romance. 

In one loved-up December 2020 photo, Ms Mutten could be seen leaning in to kiss Stein as the pair lay in bed together.

She also shared a photo of the ‘cute church near his family’s home’, posting a photo of Mount Wilson St George Anglican Church, just minutes from Wildenstein and from the property police allege Kallista later burgled in company.

The pair announced their engagement and Ms Mutten said she planned to marry Stein, supposedly in 2022.

In January, it was revealed Ms Mutten was pregnant with Mr Stein’s baby, after she was admitted to a mental health facility in the Blue Mountains following her daughter’s death.

Kallista Sue Mutten is listed for mention in Campbelltown Local Court this week on the alleged aggravated break and enter charge.
