The Voice judge, Ronan Keating, and his television producer wife Storm have paid around $6.3m for an ocean-view Tamarama Valley treehouse that is accessed only by foot.
Known as Waterfall House, it has a three-bedroom 1920s residence plus a two-bedroom apartment on its 417sq m sloping rainforest block.
The home last traded for $1.73m in 2010 when bought by True South filmmaker David Klaiber and his then wife, Michaela, who was the recent vendor.

The celebrity couple retain a £5m eco-mansion in the UK countryside at Rickmansworth, Hertfordshire, along with properties in Dublin and Dubai.
The former Boyzone singer had previously described the 2023 move into their Hertfordshire dream home as their “last house move ever” in part because of the emotional and financial toll the nine-year construction project took on them.
Until recently, they had also viewed Dubai as a central global base, allowing him to easily reach Australia, Asia or Europe.

The couple, who met on the set of X-Factor Australia in 2011 and married in 2015, have been renting in Sydney’s coastal east with their two children. The $16m Bronte home was last listed as a $7500 a week rental.
“Buying real estate in NSW was quite an ordeal,” Storm recently told Nine Entertainment.
“In order to navigate the NSW real estate industry unscathed, you need a buyer’s agent,” she added.
It was bought with the assistance of discreet buyer’s agents Zoe Tack and Leon Jacques from Aurum Advisory through Alex Phillips, who will shortly depart the PPD agency partnership.
Storm had owned a $2.8m property at Maroubra as Sharyn Storm Uechtritz, which was sold for $2.8m in 2012 having been bought for $1.46m in 2007, two years before her marriage to Tim Ivers.
