Joey Essex has put his £3million mansion, which is complete with pool and a beach house up for sale as he prepares to move to Dubai.
The TOWIE star, 35, previously rented out the house for a massive £13,000 a month, but has now decided to sell as he turns his back on reality TV.
Following a break in at the property in 2022, Joey set his sights on the UAE and met with Dubai officials in 2023 who 'welcomed' him to the city.
His stunning home in Chigwell is currently listed on Right Move for offers between £2,750,000 and £3,000,000.
It features an extravagant 'Posh Room', a lavish beach house and bar, a hot tub, and a basketball court.
Joey's four bedroom bachelor pad is equipped with an impressive kitchen diner which has bi-folding doors leading out to a pool in the back garden.

The property - which is a five-minute walk from his childhood home - also has three dressing rooms.
Estate agent John Thoma writes: 'A stunning four bedroom detached home located on one of Chigwell’s most sought-after roads on a large plot of approximately 0.32 acres with fantastic potential, having previously benefited from planning permission to extend into the loft space.
'This beautiful home is arranged over two floors and offers spacious, well-proportioned rooms throughout.
'There are farmland views to the front whilst being a short walk to the central line, excellent schools and local amenities and overlooks farmland to the front.'
Joey appeared on This Morning where he brought cameras into his home ahead of his appearance on the revived series of MTV Cribs.
Joey's home features an extravagant 'posh' room which the former TOWIE cast member explained he uses whenever he has family visiting or if he 'has a girl around'.
He also gave viewers a look at his bedroom which features a large double bed with several throw pillows with dark purple bedding.
The Essex native pulled out all the stops for his beach house area, with a large pool to kick back and relax in with friends.

He said: 'This all just came to my mind. When I bought this house, I knew what I was going to do to it. I knew I would have a posh room. I knew the pool would be there'
Joey, who found fame on TOWIE in 2011, paid £1.6 million for the Chigwell pad in 2014 - almost half what it is now worth. He will therefore stand to make a tidy profit (pictured on MTV's Cribs)

Joey is understood to be in the market for a secure property, a warm climate and a low crime rate - and having already spent plenty of time partying on the Arab Peninsula, Dubai ticks every box.

In 2023, Joey shared snaps of himself at the luxurious Burj Al Arab hotel upon landing in Dubai.
Alongside the snaps, he wrote: 'At the world's most luxurious hotel Burj Al Arab I met up with the Dubai Government. They told me Dubai is now my home.
'Thank you to Mahmoud Al Burai & Shahab Ahmed Alsaadi for everything you have put in place for me and Dubai police, Dubai tourism board, Dubai media for getting in touch and taking time to meet me and giving me the warmest welcome to their country.
He added: 'Happiness is the way forward. Inshallah.'
Several of Joey's followers and celebrity pals commented on the post to wish him well as he begins life in the new country.
The move comes following reports that a break-in at Joey's Essex home left him an 'emotional wreck'.
Joey was left 'horrified and shaken' after discovering his £3million home had been ransacked by thieves, it was reported in January 2023.

A source told The Sun: 'Joey has started house-hunting in Dubai. He is planning to buy a base out there so he can jet off whenever he likes.
'Joey will be splitting his time between his home in Essex and his new place in Dubai. He loves the lifestyle out there and feels completely safe.'
His bachelor pad was raided while he was on a night out with his pal James 'Diags' Bennewith.
Joey lost a mustard Louis Vuitton weekend bag worth £2,500, and a £1,900 grey Maison Goyard cross-body bag, as well as other valuable items, such as a black Fendi rucksack worth about £4,500.
Joey contacted Essex Police, who investigated the break-in, while friends said he was left 'terrified and shaken' and an 'emotional wreck'.
