Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman are Australian national treasures, but they're also international celebrity royalty. The pair is globally renowned for their respective careers, and along with welcoming two daughters into the world, they've also carved out a place for themselves in the real estate industry.
Yes, it's any wonder the pair has time for relaxation of any kind, but when they're the proud owners of multiple properties spanning each corner of the earth, we can imagine they make an effort to prioritize downtime.
Per Real Estate, the couple has dropped over $25 million in properties over the past decade, which is a jaw-dropping amount.
Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman seem to have one of the wildest prenup agreements, however, it seems to be working for them.
Urban and Kidman's Residence Is Definitely A Dream House
Be prepared to be amazed when it comes to the couple's house in Nashville, Tennessee because their house has everything you can possibly imagine. Less than two years after purchasing their Southern Highlands hideout, the couple bagged a seven-bedroom Nashville mansion for $3.47 million ($AUD 4.89 million).
Known as the Queen of Northumberland, the property features eight bathrooms, a tennis court, a swimming pool, a home theater and a hobby room. Unsurprisingly, given its sheer size, this quickly became their 'primary home' and the couple still own it to this day.
Nicole's husband Keith Urban is still able to write and record new music from home as the couple have their very own recording studio equipped with all of the speakers, mixing desks and recording equipment you'd expect to see in a professional studio.
After Marriage Came The Houses
One year after the couple wed, Kidman and Urban purchased their first home together for $2.45 million (AU$3.54 million) in 2007. The 36-acre country spread in Franklin, Tennessee was located just south of downtown Nashville, and was likely the perfect location for Urban to maintain a presence in the country music scene.
The main house featured four bedrooms and six bathrooms (two of them half) and was filled with natural light courtesy of the skylights scattered throughout. The main bedroom, likely snagged by the couple, had its own private sitting room, stone-tile bathroom with a garden tub and of course, a huge walk-in closet.
After occupying the house for just shy of ten years, the pair listed it in 2016 and found a buyer — albeit two years later — who snapped up the property for $2.7 million (AU$3.9 million), though they had originally asked for $3.45 million (AU$4.98 million).
In the same year that they acquired the Queen of Northumberland, Urban and Kidman forked out another $4.7 million (AU$6.79 million) contemporary home in Los Angeles. Given her status as a Hollywood heavyweight and his judge role on American Idol, it made sense for them to lay down roots in the celebrity-filled neighborhood.
The home, which boasted five bedrooms, five bathrooms (one half), a wraparound deck, covered patio areas and a pool, was made for warm LA days spent outside, and likely reminded them of home back in Australia.
The couple appears to still own this property.
The Couple Invest In Many Other Houses
In 2010, Urban and Kidman acquired a very stylish pad in New York City's West Chelsea neighborhood. Known for being stylish and sophisticated, the location seemed like a perfect fit for their stints in the Big Apple. Located in 200 Eleventh building (which has been said to attract multiple A-list buyers) the lobby is so stylized that a sign had to be erected which said: "This is a residence. Please do not enter."
Dropping a cool $10 million (AU$14. 43 million), the apartment offered floor-to-ceiling windows which allowed sunlight to stream through, a freestanding bathtub, enviable views of the midtown skyline and a futuristic car park elevator that would take you up to the 10th floor, still inside the vehicle.
As of 2020, the couple were still reported as owning this property.
In 2020, per The New York Post, the couple paid around $3.5 million (AU$5 million) for a two-bedroom apartment 108 Leonard St, New York. It's worth noting that the purchase was made during the early days of the pandemic, with Urban rumored to have a reignited interest in real estate as a result.
Nicole and Keith are currently married for sixteen years and share two daughters together.
