Having headed back to Queensland, NRL Brisbane Broncos star recruit Ben Hunt and his nutritionist wife Bridget are selling their former Sydney home.

The Hunts didn’t quite make it into Dragons heartland when they bought the home in 2018, after moving south from Brisbane.

They bought in Caringbah South for $1.61m.

Designed in the Queenslander style, the residence allows parking underneath.

The home has five bedrooms and two bathrooms on its 866sq m block.

Ben and Bridget Hunt are selling their Caringbah South home.

The open plan kitchen, living and dining area opens to a covered deck and landscaped yard.

The 2010-built home is being marketed as “Coast Meets Country” by MattBlak Property Cronulla agents Blake Spooner and Cameron Mattison.

They are seeking $2.2m.

Designed in the Queenslander style, the five-bedroom and two-bathroom residence allows parking underneath.

Rockhampton-born Hunt made the move to the Brisbane Broncos for the 2025 season, and buyers’ agent and former NRL player Matt Srama recently told realestate.com.au that the Hunts have been renting on the southern Gold Coast.

So far this season he has played five games as five-eighth ahead of Friday’s clash with the Roosters at Suncorp Stadium while Ezra Mam is suspended, and then is expected to shift to hooker.

Wearing the No. 6 has certainly been different for Hunt, who has played 243 of his 338 NRL games at halfback.

He told Fox Sports he believes the Broncos, under coach Michael Maguire, were his best chance of winning a premiership before retirement.

Ahead of his relocation, he secured an acreage in Newrybar, outside of Byron in the Ballina Shire, paying $2.7m.

The 20ha property has been a luxury farm stay in the portfolio of local entrepreneur Norm Black, the co-owner of TripADeal, and his accommodation superhost wife Fiona. The purchase was put under scrutiny since the Dragons are sponsored by TripADeal.

There has been no recent registered purchase in Queensland, although Hunt does own north of the border.

The Hunts have owned the home since 2018.

One of the five bedrooms.

His Bridgeman Downs property was bought in 2013 during his first stint at the Broncos, where he started his career.

He paid $375,000 for a 500sq m block of land, before commissioning the build of a four-bedroom, two-bathroom home.

It has been a rental since, and was first let at $670 a week in 2017.

The home, located around 17km north of Suncorp Stadium, was up for lease at $825 a week in 2023 and then $875 a week last August when rented through Josh Braidwood of Mosaic Property Management.

realestate.com.au suggests its current value likely sits between $1.38m and $1.54m.
