He shared the news of the $3.5 million purchase of his luxury estate in Roxbury, Connecticut this past April.

And on Sunday Fredrik Eklund showed off the new digs, using the Stories feature of Instagram, as he strolled the expansive property with his miniature dachshunds Mini Mouse and Fritzy.

The 39-year-old showed off the estate's infinity pool, large yard, and a few of its luxurious rooms to a background track of The Weeknd.

The video began with a look at the stunning front of the classic Georgian mansion as Fredik threw a tennis ball and then captured his dogs running across the expansive yard to chase it.

Fredrik then moved to the backyard, panning to catch a glimpse of a large, outdoor patio framed with large, white columns.

After showing off the beautiful pond on the property, Fredrik moved over to the home's stunning infinity pool, which was surrounded by wicker lounge chairs.

Once he was out by the pool, the New York City real estate broker had a little fun with his two pups, throwing a tennis ball into the water.

The tiny dogs didn't seem to want to take a dip, and the next few clips showed the poor pups trying to figure out a way to snag the toy without hopping in.

One dog was filmed running the length of the pool, almost taking a dive as it carefully maneuvered along the water-level edge.

At one point, Fredrik got in close to catch one of the dogs seemingly racked with indecision as he scooched to the edge of the water, desperately trying to reach the ball that floated feet away.

The reality TV star then looked to have hopped into the water to catch a different angle, shooting from behind the floating tennis ball as the dog dipped one paw in the water hesitantly dipped one paw in the water.

Another clip showed the tennis ball just off of the water's edge, and yet still too far for the pup to snag, sending him finally onto the pool's steps to try and grab it.

Tricky! The poor dogs didn't seem to want to go into the water, racing around the length of the pool to try and come up with another way to retrieve it

So close and yet so far: One of the miniature dachshunds stood at the very edge of the pool, looking longingly out at the water to where the tennis ball was floating

After Fredrik's eager pet finally managed to reach the ball, the star started a new video, in which his four-legged friends looked thrilled as he prepared to toss the toy across the yard.

Then Frederick headed into a regal-looking living room, panning to the beautiful fireplace as he showed off a knick knack.

'My nickname is The Piggy,' Fredrik captioned the clip, in which he zoomed in on the pig statue.

Fredrik announced the purchase of the breathtaking home back in April, later posting on social media in August that he - along with husband Derek Kaplan and his son Kai - were spending their first night there.

Earlier in the weekend Fredrik had shared a sweet snap of himself and Derek enjoying the holiday in their new home.

'Happy Labor Day Weekend from FreDerek. #4wieners,' he had captioned the photo, which was tagged at 'Maple Bank Farm.'
