Inside the lavish homes of State of Origin’s biggest stars including Latrell Mitchell and Reece Walsh

Football stars risked it all during the State of Origin, a brutal and bloody battle between arch-rivals Queensland and New South Wales.

But they can certainly seek solace after the final whistle, as these titans have slippery homes where they can rest and relax after 80 grueling minutes of combat.

Here, Daily Mail Australia takes a look at the luxurious homes Origin stars own.

Reece Walsh

Queensland and Brisbane Broncos superstar Reece Walsh is the proud owner of a huge Gold Coast property with eight bedrooms and an entertainment area.

The 21-year-old defender bought the 5,433-square-metre property for $1.88 million in May after the former owners lowered the asking price in an effort to “meet the market.”

The house, located in the northern end of the city, is made up of three independent homes in a wooded environment.

It had previously been on the market for an asking price of $2 million, but has not sold since it first went on sale in 2022.

The main house features five bedrooms, two bathrooms and a study, as well as a large open plan living and dining room. There’s also a sleek kitchen with an island bench and a serving window.

Outside, there is a swimming pool and outdoor area and a covered patio that surrounds the house.

Both guest houses can be accessed via a separate road. One has two bedrooms, the other just one, and there is also a large shed with enough space for an office or gym.

Latrell Mitchell

Rabbitohs gun Latrell Mitchell owns a posh property in the southern Sydney suburb of Chifley.

The Blues star snapped up the home in August 2022 for $4.275 million, a record sale for the low-key suburb at the time.

He initially posted an image of himself with his wife, Brielle Mercy, and their two children on Instagram. The image, which showed the family in front of the sold sign, was accompanied by the caption “making moves.”

Mitchell later deleted the post, but not before Bunnies teammate Cody Walker offered to move.

The house consists of five bedrooms, the master bedroom with a private bathroom and custom carpentry.

For the kids, there is a cinema room near the main open stone kitchen, living room and dining room, and the house features a variety of skylights.

On the approximately 900 m² property there is also a putting green, as well as a swimming pool, sauna and kitchen with barbecue.

Jarome Luai

Panthers playmaker Jarome Luai, like Mitchell, owns a five-bedroom house.

The Blues star’s property is in the Penrith area and the master bedroom, located on the second floor, has a dressing room and en-suite bathroom.

The rear open-air terrace overlooks the extensive 645 m² gardens.

The home also features a number of formal and informal living areas, with the property adding that there are a number of multi-purpose rooms suitable for a library, gym or music room.

Tom and Jake Trbojevic

The Trbojevic brothers are not only skilled operators in the field, but they also know how to make their investments, having accumulated an impressive property portfolio.

The couple own seven properties on Sydney’s northern beaches worth at least $6.65 million, according to realestate.com.au.

The NSW Blues stars each invested $964,000 in a house and land package at Warriewood’s Fern Creek estate.

Jake, 30, and Tom, 27, started buying property from a young age. Jake bought a two-bedroom apartment in Narrabeen for $680,000 in 2014 and snapped up a one-bedroom apartment in Brookvale two years later for $590,000.

Tom’s first property was purchased in 2016, an $895,000 two-bedroom unit in Manly, followed by a $1 million two-bedroom unit in the same area.

Ben Caza

Dragons star Ben Hunt bought a holiday home in Byron Bay with his nutritionist wife Bridget in May.

The couple spent $2.7 million on a property in Newrybar, near Bangalow, with the 20-hectare property being a luxury farm stay belonging to local businessman Norm Black.

The vacation home, which has four bedrooms and two living rooms and features views of Mount Warning, rents for just under $1,500.

There is a hot tub next to the pool, as well as a four-bay machinery shed with a separate study.

Felise Kaufusi

Queensland and Dolphins star Felise Kaufusi has bought a new pad that is the envy of the state’s wealthiest locals.

He broke a house price record in a suburb on Brisbane’s north side almost two years ago after buying one of the most beautiful homes in the Banyo area for $1.6 million.

The property is a classic four-bedroom Queenslander that was built over 100 years ago.

The completely renovated home features sloped wood ceilings, VH walls, restored original windows, stained rubberwood floors, pressed tin ceilings, plantation shutters, and luxury Hamptons-style finishes.

Stephen Crichton

New Bulldogs signing Stephen Crichton has bought a new home in the Penrith area, despite leaving the Panthers last summer.

The center bought a new house in Tregear, which is a few suburbs opposite Penrith and 36km west of Sydney’s CBD.

The property, located on a “quiet and highly sought after” street, sold in December 2022 for $848,500 and contains five bedrooms, a huge rear garden and the possibility of adding a granny flat.

According to News Corp’s Buzz Rothfield, Crichton bought the house for his parents and family.

The property listing said: ‘Everything is new. There’s nothing left but to move!

Daly Cherry Evans

Football veteran Daly Cherry-Evans owns the kind of home that befits his status as the sport’s elder statesman.

The Manly captain and his partner Vessa Rockliff own a designer home located opposite the famous northern beaches in 2018, and the house has its own swimming pool.

There are four bedrooms, open plan living and dining room with a sunken lounge, an upper level sitting room and an outdoor terrace next to the 10 meter above ground chlorinated saline pool.
