UFC fighter and former world champion Alexander Volkanovski has snapped up an eye-catching, multi-million dollar home in the Illawarra.

The sportsman recently purchased a 12-bedroom, 50-acre property in the region.

The selling agent from Ray White declined to comment on the identity of the buyer, or the final sale price.

However, it is understood Volkanovski was the buyer, and the property sold for around its advertised price guide of $4.5 million.

The selling agent said the property boasted "magnificent views" and was a "totally secluded trophy property".

CoreLogic records show the home sold in June after 37 days on the market, and previously sold in 2002 for $410,000.

The former UFC Featherweight Champion's new digs includes a gym with spectacular views, full man cave with bar and two houses.

The main dwelling is a four-bedroom residence with views to Lake Illawarra and the ocean.

The kitchen boasts a walk-in pantry, and there's a pool room with a wet bar.

Other features of the luxe home include a spa room with a gym, a rumpus room, and a five-car garage with a workshop area.

Outside is a solar-heated concrete pool surrounded by timber decking.

Adjacent to the main house is a one-bedroom granny flat, while the secondary dwelling is a three-bedroom residence with built-in robes and a study.

There's also a farm machinery shed with a nine-metre by 5.1-metre carport storage and a bunkhouse which sleeps nine.
