Shannon and his family live on a 100 acre property near Casino, NSW.
Last year, the reality TV favourite said moving to the big city cost him work.
He explained that living in Sydney meant less gigs, not more – and he had to relocate back to the country with his wife and children.
‘I was 500 metres inside greater Sydney last year and lost like 20 gigs out of it,’ he told The Daily Telegraph.
‘People from Tasmania were flying over the top of me to replace me on gigs in Queensland so it was really tough,’ he went on.
‘And so we’ve pulled the pin on living in the city and got back on some acreage again.’

Shannon has largely stayed out of the spotlight but he did reveal in 2021 that he proposed to his wife, Rochelle Ogston, again.
Appearing on 2DayFM’s Hughesy Ed and Erin, Shannon said he popped the question in December while performing at a Newcastle pub.
‘I asked her to marry me again,’ Shannon told the radio hosts, adding he gave Rochelle a new ring from Simon Curwood Jewellers to mark the special occasion.

Shannon and Rochelle celebrated their 17th wedding anniversary in May 2021, and share four children.
The proud father said the second wedding will be a family affair, with the intention of involving sons Cody, 20, Blake, 19, and Colton, 3, and daughter Sienna, 15.
When asked why Shannon and Rochelle chose to recommit after 17 years of marriage, the former Australian Idol star said they’d entered ‘a different place’ in the relationship over the past few years after they welcomed their youngest child.
‘With the little fella coming along, it’s been a bit of a turning point,’ the What About Me singer said.
