From putting greens to golf simulators, former MAFS groom Clint Rice lists golfer's dream home

A luxury home owned by former Married at First Sight contestant Clint Rice has hit the market in Tasmania.

Rice, a golf pro and businessman, is chasing $2.95 million to $3.2 million for the ultra-modern three-bedroom, three-bathroom house which was completed in 2023.

Set on 1,870 square metres, the property near Launceston at 3 Rochester Court in Riverside, includes a five-hole putting green, an indoor golf simulator, a full-sized tennis court, a gym, a theatre room and a bar.

Rice, 44, entered MAFS Australia as a substitute groom for contestant Lauren Hall, after her first marriage to "runaway groom" Eliot Donovan ended after three days.

While the relationship didn't last either, Rice went on to find love with another one of the show's brides, Jacqui Burfoot, who announced their engagement in April 2025.

Set across two levels, the floorplan is specifically designed for entertaining downstairs and daily living upstairs.

"I had a designer from Hobart who I worked with for about 18 months to get it right because it is a unique-shaped property," Rice told View.com.au.

"It was about fitting everything I wanted in a build on that particular piece of land.

"I have lived in a bunch of different places over the years, throughout the mainland and overseas as well, and I basically incorporated all elements that I've liked in places into the one property and pretty much nailed it."

The main bedroom is a king-sized suite with a large dressing room and a luxurious ensuite with a double shower, double vanity, underfloor heating and a skylight.

"It is one of my favourite places in the house," he said.

"The bedroom flows into a dressing room and that goes into the ensuite with a walk-in shower, so it's like its own retreat you can hang out in.

"It's such a nice space and overlooks the tennis court."

Two additional bedrooms include large built-in robes and the main bathroom has a bathtub, a limestone-topped vanity and an oversized shower with a skylight.

Upstairs, the open-plan kitchen, dining, living area overlooks the tennis court, putting green, and opens to the east-facing deck with views across the Tamar River and mountain ranges.

The kitchen features dolomite stone benches, a butler's pantry, two Smeg pyrolytic ovens, a Smeg induction cooktop and an integrated Liebherr fridge and freezer.

The five-hole putting green is fully drained at each hole and professionally designed by Nicklaus Design.

The property also features extensive automation including entry gates, air conditioning, lighting and electrical all controlled directly from a phone app.

"I had the next owners in mind when I was building it, so it could suit a family with kids, a professional couple or retirees," he said.

"It caters for such a wide audience and even being a three bedroom house, there are a couple of spaces that could be turned into bedrooms.

"If you didn't want the gym, you could convert that into two bedrooms.

"It's also low maintenance and the gardens are specifically designed for that, there are no lawns to be treated and it's a property designed for someone with a busy lifestyle."

With the couple set to move to Queensland, the property is on the market with Andrew Macdonald at The Agency Launceston.

"We are going to relocate to Queensland to Sanctuary Cove at Hope Island in particular," he said.

"I have a bunch of mates up there that I used to play on tour with and it's just a great location."

Rice and Burfoot aren't the only MAFS stars making property moves across Australia:

Jules Robinson and Cameron Merchant

Season six contestants Jules Robinson and Cameron Merchant are one of the longest-lasting couples who met on Married at First Sight.

Married in 2019, the pair share two children and have made several property moves during their time together, including selling a Gold Coast investment property for $700,000 in 2024.

The couple bought the Mermaid Beach townhouse three years earlier for $550,000.

Merchant, a former cricketer, and hairdresser-turned-media personality Robinson, also own a luxury six-bedroom, three-bathroom house on the Nerang River in Broadbeach Waters on the Gold Coast purchased for $3.65 million in 2022.

They also retain a house in Sydney's Northern Beaches bought for $1.806 million, also in 2022.

Tara-Lee Preston

Former Married at First Sight contestant Tara-Lee Preston recently sold her Mediterranean-inspired home in Lake Macquarie in regional NSW as she prepares to move north to Queensland.

Preston, who appeared as a "back-up bride" on the 2025 season of Channel Nine's reality television show, earned a tidy profit with the $1.55 million sale of her four-bedroom, three-bathroom house at 6 Elizabeth Place in Swansea.

She purchased the lakeside home, El Castillo, in August 2020 for $910,000.

It returned to the market five years later after undergoing a major makeover that added $640,000 in value to the property.

Ryan Gallagher

Ex-MAFS contestant Ryan Gallagher carved out a career in reality TV after appearing on season five of the match-making show when he was paired with Davinia Rankin.

Rankin cheated on Gallagher with another contestant, Dean Wells, resulting in one of the show's biggest scandals.

Gallagher moved on to appear on I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here, and The Challenge Australia, where he met Olympic swimmer Emily Seebohm.

The duo share a son but split in 2025 and Gallagher, a carpenter by trade, has since moved on and purchased a $500,000 unit as an investment property in the Brisbane suburb of Clayfield.

John Aitken

John Aitken has stuck with MAFS since its inception in 2015.

The psychologist and long-time relationship expert on the Channel Nine reality television show is set to take his five-bedroom, two-bedroom property, 'Tyneside', in Willoughby East to auction on March 5.

The sandstone residence is listed with a guide of $5.8 million with Rose Farina and Jeff Woo at McGrath Northbridge.

Aiken and his wife Kelly Swanson-Roe, an interior designer, bought the 777-square-metre property in 2019 for $2.93 million.

Built circa 1880 for one of Willoughby's pioneering families, Tyneside spans two levels.

Inside, the home features period details including high ceilings, four fireplaces, a luxurious marble kitchen and a resort-style swimming pool and alfresco area.
