Singer-songwriter Delta Goodrem and her husband, guitarist Matthew Copley, have settled on a $10.9 million mansion in Rose Bay, with October settlement documents revealing the couple as the buyers of the four-bedroom, three-bathroom house.
The purchase was a private treaty sale completed on May 27, but the price was not disclosed at the time; settlement later confirmed the price and the buyers. The vendor was David Allen, of Plato Investment Management and president of the Eastern Suburbs Rugby Club. Goodrem and Copley married in Malta in June 2025.
The home has French oak herringbone floors, an imported Italian marble fireplace and a white kitchen with a breakfast bar and butler's pantry. Bedrooms feature patterned wallpaper, while outside there are multiple al fresco entertaining zones, a bougainvillea-draped terrace, a pool and gardens by landscape designer Paul Bangay.
Rose Bay's median house price is $6.35 million on Domain data, up 22.1 per cent in the year to September. Records show Goodrem also owns a Darlinghurst unit bought for $4.825 million in 2018. The singer is currently a contestant on Strictly Come Dancing and placed fourth at this year's Eurovision Song Contest representing Australia; her eighth studio album, Pure, is due next year. The Rose Bay sale was handled by D'Leanne Lewis of Laing+Simmons Double Bay, and Simon Cohen of Cohen Handler is understood to have acted as the buyer's agent.
Analysis
Why This Matters
- The purchase confirms another high-value transaction in Sydney's eastern suburbs, where Rose Bay's median house price rose 22.1 per cent in the year to September.
- Because the sale was a private treaty, the settlement documents were the first public record of both the price and the buyers.
- The purchase adds to Goodrem's Sydney property holdings, which already include a Darlinghurst unit bought in 2018.
Background
Goodrem and Copley married in Malta in June 2025, and the Rose Bay home was sold in May of the same year, with settlement completed in October. The private treaty process meant the name behind the purchase only emerged once settlement documents were lodged.
What to Watch
- The next Domain price figures for Rose Bay, which will show whether the 22.1 per cent annual growth recorded to September continued.
- Whether other high-end Sydney sales concluded privately also surface in settlement records, providing a clearer picture of upper-end prices.
