Newlywed TV and radio star Brittany Hockley snaps up glam Gold Coast home for $2.43m

Radio host, Life Uncut podcaster and The Bachelor runner-up, Brittany Hockley, has purchased her first home as a newlywed with her husband, Ben Siegrist.

In a joint Instagram post, Hockley, 37, and Siegrist, a Swiss professional footballer, announced the news of their $2.43 million Gold Coast property buy.

The caption read: 'So happy to say we bought our dream home!!'

"We may be living on opposite sides of the world chasing our own dreams, but we are working towards our future together, and that's the most important thing."

Hockley also revealed that the couple, who wed in Bali on June 4, purchased the house on their wedding night.

"Married and a house this past month, what a time! (We actually bought this on our wedding night... must have been feeling the good vibes and/or had a few too many cocktails) This is just the start," she wrote.

Hockley, who rose to fame as a contestant on Channel 10's The Bachelor and appears on Channel 7's latest season of Dancing With The Stars, began dating Europe-based Siegrist, 33, three years ago.

Despite getting hitched last month, the couple maintains a long-distance relationship.

While the couple doesn't have plans to live in the home in the immediate future, Hockley revealed that the luxury Palm Springs-inspired property will be offered as a location for photo shoots.

The five-bedroom, three-bathroom residence, Casa Palma, already has its own Instagram page with the bio reading: 'Luxe GC home - available for styled shoots. Coming soon'.

The page racked up 16,000 followers within two days.

"While this is a happy time and this is our dream home one day, I unfortunately won't be moving here now," Hockley said in her Instagram stories.

"I'll take you along the journey but sharing this now because this space will be available for photo shoots soon".

The resort-style property hit the market in April after the original 1990s-era home underwent a complete renovation, including a striking white render facade.

A statement arched glass door opens to the entry foyer with stone-look tiles and a feature pendant light.

There are five bedrooms, including two master-style suites, each with an ensuite.

Interior features include Venetian render walls, archways, skylights, brushed brass fixtures, Caesarstone benchtops, floor-to-ceiling sheer curtains and concrete flooring.

The sleek kitchen has an oversized oven, an integrated dishwasher, a double sink and a bi-fold servery window to the alfresco area.

At the heart of the home is the open living and dining area with concrete flooring, raked ceilings with exposed beams, a built-in bar and an illuminated internal garden.

Outside is an alfresco entertaining area with a built-in barbecue, a sink, electric blinds, fans, and outdoor heaters.

The backyard has an outdoor shower, a lagoon-style heated magnesium in-ground swimming pool, and a spa.

The front yard has an in-ground trampoline surrounded by lush gardens with palms and cacti lighting.

In a recent Instagram Q&A post, Hockley described how the couple's relationship works despite living apart.

"Ben and I have been together nearly three years, and we have never lived together," she said.

"Everyone is asking, 'Are you going to live together now that we're married?' The answer is no.

"It's not by choice, as when we met, we both had signed different contracts, long-term contracts for our jobs... not to say we won't live together one day."
