Former Australian cricket captain and podcaster Michael Clarke has reportedly purchased another property in the affluent Sydney suburb of Vaucluse. The ex-cricketer bought a tri-level mansion complete with a swimming pool and tennis court for around $20 million by private treaty, according to The Sydney Morning Herald. Michael already owns a European-inspired home in Vaucluse, which he bought for $13 million back in 2021.
Set on 1185 square metres, the modern Vaucluse estate features six king-sized bedrooms and six and a half bathrooms – plenty of room for him, his partner Arabella Sherborne and Michael’s daughter Kelsey Lee, whom he shares custody with ex-wife Kyly.
The eastern Sydney suburb is also home to a number of other Australian celebrities, including Roxy Jacenko, Kyle Sandilands and Zoe Foster Blake and Hamish Blake.
Sprawling across three light-filled levels, the c.1940 residence offers multiple contemporary-style living spaces by Melissa Collision Design. The open-plan kitchen features Calacatta marble and high-end appliances and connects to a spacious living space with a banquette seat and a custom cocktail bar. Downstairs, there is a lower-level rumpus room and gym, while the main bedroom on the upper floor enjoys a private balcony. All three levels are connected by a sculptural white staircase.
Outside, a gas-heated swimming pool and a full-sized tennis court add to the home’s impressive entertainment capabilities. Property records show that the Vaucluse home last sold for $7 million back in 2007.
Since retiring from cricket back in 2015, Michael Clarke has worked in the commentary box and as the host of Sky Racing’s Big Sports Breakfast for five years before quitting at the start of 2025 to work on his podcast, Beyond23 Cricket.
