News has emerged that pop singer and gay icon George Michael bought a new home in an exclusive area of Sydney whilst on vacation earlier this year.
The forty seven year old British pop star, who rose to fame in the 1980’s as a member of the duo “Wham!”, paid six million US dollars for the property in May this year.
George Michael reportedly fell in love with the country when performing sell out shows in Sydney, Perth and Melbourne.
His three storey, five bedroom property is located in a secluded plot on the narrow rocky peninsular along Whales Beach, New South Wales. It overlooks the Tasman Sea and is only an hour’s drive from Sydney.
The property boasts 3,500 square feet of interior living space, an infinity swimming pool, glass walls and a forty-foot long open living area.
The former “Wham!” frontman should find his new home a quiet getaway from the UK and its media attention.
George Michael’s recent arrests for drug possession and driving offences have once again thrust the gay singer into the headlines, for all the wrong reasons. It is also difficult to forget that Michael "engaged in a lewd act" in a Beverley Hills Public toilet some years earlier.
Currently George shares an $8 million dollar home in Highgate, North London with his long-term gay partner Kenny Goss. Kenny was not in Australia at the time of the purchase.
George Michael already owns a number of high-end properties; a 16th century estate outside London, which Oprah Winfrey recently stayed at, and a home in Beverley Hills, California.
