Fitness entrepreneur and influencer Kayla Itsines has purchased a luxury waterfront mansion on the Gold Coast for $13 million after an extended search for the right property, according to realestate.com.au
The Sweat app co-founder and her husband, Jae Woodroffe, had been quietly exploring the region’s high-end property market, inspecting several homes across some of southeast Queensland’s most prestigious suburbs before securing the Mermaid Waters estate ahead of its scheduled auction.
Cohen Handler Gold Coast agent Luke Serhan, who negotiated the purchase, said properties of this scale were rarely available.
“When clients operate at Kayla’s level of global profile, the process becomes about far more than simply finding a property,” Mr Serhan said.
“It’s about opening doors to opportunities that are rarely visible to the broader market and ensuring the acquisition aligns with both lifestyle and sound investment strategy.”
The five-bedroom, four-bathroom home sits on a 2280-square-metre triple block with 81.5 metres of water frontage. Completed in 2023 by DB Build, it won the President’s Award at the 2024 Gold Coast Housing and Construction Awards.
Designed in a Tropical Colonial style by Sydney architects Hicks and Holmsted, the property features pitched roofs, French doors and expansive verandas.
“The overall effect is very much that of a private resort,” selling agent Gypsea Youngsmith said.
Itsines, who has more than 15 million social media followers, said working with a buyer’s agent helped secure the property after an initially difficult search.
