The Matildas: Sam Kerr buys vacant block of land on South Beach in Perth for $940,000 so she can build her dream home close to her parents

Sam Kerr, captain of the Matildas, has taken a significant step in securing her future in her hometown by purchasing a vacant block of land in the South Beach suburb of North Coogee, Perth. The star striker, known for her incredible athleticism on the soccer field, spent $940,000 on the 200sqm lot, which is conveniently located near her parents’ home.

The area holds special meaning for Kerr, as she grew up in the surrounding community, where her love for sports first took root. Now, with plans to build a luxurious three-storey townhouse, she is set to establish her dream home in a place rich with personal and family memories.

Kerr’s decision to invest in this property comes amid her busy schedule, yet it reflects her desire to stay connected to her roots. The new home will be only a short distance from Fremantle, the suburb where Kerr was born and raised, further cementing her ties to the region.

Having switched from Australian Rules football to soccer at a young age, Kerr quickly rose to prominence, making her debut for the Matildas at just 15. Her success in international football has made her a household name, but her latest move highlights her enduring connection to family and her home city.
