Inside Buddy and Jesinta Franklin’s Gold Coast hideaway as ‘they plan to sell their Sydney home’

AFL star Lance ‘Buddy’ Franklin and his model wife Jesinta are reportedly planning on selling their Sydney home and relocating to the Gold Coast.

The couple own a luxury beachside apartment in Queensland between Kirra and Bilinga which they purchased for $790,000 in 2019. 

The property is located in a block of just 20 residential units and it was designed by BDA Architecture.

According to realestate.com.au, all the buyers in the building were able to customise their homes via an interior design package from the developers.

The building also features a rooftop swimming pool, lounge, barbecue area and cinema room.

It comes after it was reported Buddy and his model wife Jesinta are planning to sell their luxury home in Sydney‘s eastern suburbs and relocate to the Gold Coast. 

The rumours come amid reports Buddy is looking to either leave the Sydney Swans for a new club or retire from footy altogether, after he was asked to take a 50 per cent pay cut in 2023.

Jesinta, who hails from the Gold Coast, has also recently expressed her desire for the couple to live closer to family.

Rumours of the pair’s move to the sunshine state were published in The Daily Telegraph on Sunday.

The publication contacted real estate Paul Biller from Biller Property agency, who listed the couple’s previous home in the affluent suburb of Rose Bay in 2020.

He sold their semi-detached property in an off-market deal for $3.8million.

Mr Biller denied reports that the couple’s home was publicly listed. 

The Franklins, who share two children together, currently live in a luxury ground-floor apartment located nearby, which they also bought off-market.

Jesinta sparked rumours of the move after she spoke to Body+Soul in May about her husband’s football career and the family’s future plans.

‘I think there’s still a lot of good football left in him, but it’s our dream, whether that’s in five years or 10 years or whenever, to be able to live closer to one of the grandparents and have quality time with them,’ the model said.
