The Bachelor Australia 2017’s Matty “J” Johnson and Laura Byrne have revealed plans to renovate their new $2.19 million holiday house, and it’s absolutely gorgeous!

On August 19, the couple took to Instagram to share several snaps of their new renovation project in Ulladulla, NSW.

“A couple of months ago we bought a dilapidated old house down the South Coast,” they wrote in the caption.

“A little glass house on the seaside filled with stories and history that had been left locked up and empty for the past two years, known as Chante Mer (sing the sea).”

The duo explained that the South Coast was a “magical place” for them because it’s where they tied the knot in November 2022.

“We don’t know what we are doing or what this house will become, but if you want to follow along the chaos @chante.mer.house while we restore this old beauty, honour its joyous little quirks and resist the millennial urge to paint everything white,” they finished.

According to Domain, the lovebirds‘ new home spans 746 square metres and boasts three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a study, and an alfresco area.

The home, described as a “testament to an era of elegance and grace”, has a panoramic ocean view. And could you think of anything more dreamy?

It comes after the pair purchased a $5.2 million semi-detached four-bedroom pad in North Bondi in August 2023 and a $1.87 million family home in Byron Bay in November 2021.

They’re accumulating quite the property portfolio!
