Former Bachelor star Sam Wood is selling his Melbourne home while in custody after being charged with domestic violence offences.

Sam Wood and Snezana Wood are selling their luxurious Brighton home in Melbourne whilst the former The Bachelor star is in custody facing domestic violence charges. Wood has been charged with assault occasioning bodily harm, domestic violence and strangulation in a domestic setting following an alleged incident involving Snezana in Noosa on 3 October. He has denied the allegations.

Wood was refused bail and remains on remand at Wolston Correctional Centre, a high-security prison in Brisbane's west, housed in a separate wing under a safety order intended to protect him from other prisoners. The couple purchased the resort-style property on Hanby Street in the affluent bayside suburb in September 2025 for $7.15 million. It features five bedrooms, a sunken lounge, a tennis court, a pool and spa, a study and hardwood timber floors.

According to the Australian Financial Review, the home was 'days, if not hours, away' from being listed for sale when Wood was arrested. The couple had been carrying out pre-sale preparations including repainting, refreshing carpets and garden maintenance. It is believed they wanted to sell the property after purchasing another seven-bedroom home nearby, estimated to be worth more than $6 million. Snezana was recently photographed without her wedding ring during an outing in Melbourne.
