Reece Walsh, the young gun from the Brisbane Broncos and a rising star in State of Origin, has made a savvy move off the field by securing a sprawling mansion on the Gold Coast.
With eight bedrooms and a standout entertaining zone, this property is sure to be a haven for some top-notch gatherings.
The 21-year-old rugby league fullback didn't hesitate to snap up this gem, located on the city's northern fringe, for $1.88 million.
The estate, which includes three separate dwellings in a bush setting, was previously listed for $2 million before the owners dropped their asking price to "meet the market" - a move that proved to be a game-changer for Walsh.
This purchase comes at an interesting time, as Walsh is still playing hardball with the Broncos over a reported $5.5 million contract upgrade offer.
But with his eye on the prize and a taste for the finer things in life, it's clear that Walsh is playing his cards right both on and off the field.
Handled by Freedom Property agent Kylie MacDonald, this deal is just the beginning of what promises to be a lucrative career for Reece Walsh.
And as he gears up for his anticipated return to play this weekend, after missing Magic Round due to injury, it's clear that Walsh is ready to tackle whatever challenges come his way - whether it's on the field or in the real estate market.
