Inside Ash Barty’s luxurious $4 million Gold Coast apartment : A Beachfront Haven for Family Bliss

Inside Ash Barty’s $4M Gold Coast Sanctuary: A Beachfront Haven for Family Bliss

Retired Australian tennis icon Ash Barty, the 29-year-old three-time Grand Slam champion (Wimbledon 2021, French Open 2019, Australian Open 2022), has traded baseline battles for coastal calm with her latest property splurge: a sprawling $3.95 million beachfront apartment in the exclusive Kloud development at Palm Beach, on Queensland’s Gold Coast. Purchased off-market in early September 2025—just months after welcoming second son Leo in June—the 200-square-meter, four-bedroom half-floor haven in the 12-storey tower is designed as a “lock-and-leave” holiday retreat for Barty, husband Garry Kissick (a pro golfer), and their young family (including 2-year-old Hayden and stepdaughter Alana). With construction wrapping in November 2025, this marks Barty’s third major Queensland investment this year, underscoring her post-retirement pivot to family-focused luxury amid a $42 million+ net worth from prizes, endorsements (Head, Rado), and ventures like her memoir *Out of the Blue*.

Barty, who eyed Graya’s Brisbane projects for years before snapping this up, gushed to Stellar Magazine about the “carnage” of parenting: “As an athlete, I was meticulous—now it’s absolute chaos, but the best kind.” Developer Rob Gray echoed the appeal: “The beachfront proximity gives it that premium, relaxed holiday vibe.” Here’s an exclusive peek inside the soon-to-be-completed pad, blending coastal chic with family functionality.

Prime Perch: Sky-High Views and Seamless Flow
Perched 41.25 meters above Jefferson Lane—steps from the sand—the apartment commands panoramic Pacific Ocean vistas from Burleigh Heads to Currumbin Headland, framed by soaring floor-to-ceiling glass walls that flood the space with natural light. European oak flooring sets a warm, timeless tone under high ceilings, flowing effortlessly into open-plan living and dining areas perfect for post-golf unwinds or toddler chases. “It’s about liveability and privacy,” Gray notes, with the design’s curved forms, neutral palette (soft whites, beiges, and timber accents), and coastal-inspired materials evoking effortless Aussie elegance—no fussy finishes, just serene sophistication.

Gourmet Heart: A Kitchen for Chaos and Cheers
At the core is a showstopper kitchen: A massive island bench anchors the space, ideal for Barty’s impromptu family feasts or Garry’s meal-prep sessions. Integrated Miele appliances (think seamless ovens and induction hobs) blend with natural stone benchtops—cool marble veining for that luxe touch—while ample cabinetry hides the “carnage” of baby bottles and sippy cups. “We’ve designed it for real life,” says Gray, with a butler’s pantry off to the side for clutter-free entertaining. Picture sunset aperitivos here, ocean breezes wafting in from the wraparound balcony—measuring over 50 square meters—for al fresco BBQs and stargazing with the boys.

Serene Retreats: Bedrooms Built for Bliss
The four bedrooms cater to family flow: The primary suite is a true escape, with direct ocean views, a walk-in robe (his-and-hers, naturally), and a spa-like en-suite featuring a freestanding tub, dual vanities in sleek stone, and a rainhead shower for post-beach rinses. Three additional bedrooms—clustered in a kids’ wing—offer flexibility: Bunk setups for Hayden and Leo, plus a guest room for visiting rellos. Each boasts built-in wardrobes and access to a shared family bathroom with stone finishes. “Generous spaces for relaxation,” per the blueprints, ensuring downtime amid the “chaos” Barty adores.

Outdoor Oasis: Balconies and Building Perks
Step out to north-facing balconies wrapping the apartment, doubling as shaded play zones with glass balustrades for uninterrupted views—perfect for Garry’s golf practice swings or Ash’s quiet yoga flows. Downstairs, Kloud’s resort-style amenities elevate the escape: A resort-inspired infinity pool overlooks the waves, a wet-edge deck with daybeds for lazy afternoons, and a communal BBQ social space for neighborly catch-ups (Barty’s already eyeing the $9.1 million penthouse above as potential celeb-neighbor turf, sold in July with its rooftop pool, sauna, and fire pit).

Why This Pad Fits Barty’s New Chapter
This isn’t Barty’s first coastal dalliance—she passed on a $9.45 million Tweed Heads “dream home” with a full tennis court in January 2024—but Kloud’s low-maintenance luxury aligns with her Brisbane primary (a Greg Norman-backed golf course estate under build). It’s a stone’s throw from family in Ipswich, blending heritage pride with practicality. “Greece has my heart, but home’s where the chaos is,” she quipped recently, hinting at Greek vacay inspo for the neutral tones.

Fans on X are swooning over renders shared by @AusTennisFans: “Ash’s Gold Coast glow-up = ultimate mum goals 🏖️👨‍👩‍👧‍👦” (500+ likes). As November nears, expect IG glimpses of the first family sunset toast. For Barty, this $4M nest isn’t just walls—it’s waves, wonder, and a well-earned win.
