Lance Franklin, wife Jesinta and their two children are on the move, with their Gold Coast mansion up for grabs as teased on Channel 7 just a few weeks ago.
The AFL legend called time on his career last year and immediately headed north from Sydney.

Despite enjoying their ‘dream home’ Jesinta recently revealed they were weighing up a huge change for lifestyle reasons.
“We love it. We absolutely love it. We’re actually thinking of selling up and buying a farm now, so yeah, we’ll see how we go,” Jesinta told The Morning Show last month.
“But that could be the next thing we’re talking about the next time I’m here. Potentially (we could sell up). I mean, yes.
“We just love the idea of being on land, growing our own food, having horses, a couple of Highland cows, we’d love that. It could be something interesting.”
The Franklins are now reportedly selling up, though it is unclear if they have already brought another property — farm or otherwise.
They bought the Reedy Creek home, which was only built in 2021, for $8.75 million in late 2022 when Franklin was still playing for the Sydney Swans.
It has five bedrooms with ensuites and an impressive resort-style pool as well as incredible views over the Gold Coast hinterland.
Franklin’s move prompted the AFL’s Suns to explore the possibility of luring him to the club in an off-field role but that did not come to pass.
Largely out of the spotlight since retiring, Franklin appeared at the MCG two weeks ago to be feted as the Hawks clashed with the Swans.
The trip down to Melbourne was a rare opportunity for the dual premiership winner to immerse himself in football once again — at least in person.
“We’re getting so much quality time together and we always make sure that we watch the Swannies and the Hawks games,” Jesinta said of their weekends since Franklin retired.
“There’s those two games we carve out the time out for and watch them.
“So we still feel like we’re a little bit a part of it but it’s nice not to be stressed out by it or have the pressure of winning or losing.”
Jesinta said the career role reversal made possible by Franklin being home had been the biggest change in the past nine months.
Moments before the interview, she received a photo of Franklin vacuuming.
“Look, we’re still working on picking up our dirty laundry and learning to put them in the basket,” Jesinta said.
“But no, other than that it’s so nice to have him around. It’s so nice to have that extra support at home as well.
“For so long I was the support system to him because footy always came first and there was just not a lot of room in his schedule to move.
“Now it’s really nice to have that reciprocated so I can do a little bit more with my career and he can be at home with the kids.”
Franklin won premierships with Hawthorn in 2008 and 2013, kicking 580 goals in 182 games for the club before his shock switch to Sydney.
He kicked another 486 goals in 172 games with the Swans but couldn’t add to his flag tally despite making three grand finals in red and white.
