The two-level residence at 35 Twenty Fifth Ave, Palm Beach will be put to auction.
Selling a house can be a stressful experience at the best of times, even more so when the owner is subject to a COVID-19 bubble.
Gold Coast Titans rugby league player Nathan Peats has been juggling the logistics of putting his Palm Beach property to market while adhering to strict NRL guidelines which prohibit any contact outside of home and training.
“When the agent comes I have to take off in my car until it’s finished,” said Mr Peats, who shares the home with wife Jade and their sons Leyton, 5, and Harlen-Reign, 3.
“I don’t think I’ll even be able to attend the auction.”

The four-bedroom house at 35 Twenty Fifth Ave has been home for the past three years for the Peats, who married at Gilston Manor last year and are expecting their third child in October.
One block back from the beach and a short walk to Tallebudgera Creek, the property’s location has been ideal for a young family.
“It’s a great place to bring kids up and we definitely want to come back,” Mr Peats said.
“It’s a cracking suburb and we’re at the quieter end so it’s really a top spot.”
The kitchen is modern and spacious.
Modern and open plan inside, the couple has made improvements including a new entertaining deck and atro turf for easy maintenance.
“You can open the doors up, turn on the surround sound and enjoy a beer on the deck while the kids are in the pool,” said Mr Peats.
Having two main living areas has been a bonus, but it’s the man cave that the hooker will miss the most.
“I’ve got a big lounge in there with Foxtel, a pool table and a fridge for the drinks,” he said.
The new deck is ideal for entertaining family and friends.
The auction campaign, being handled by LJ Hooker’s Jo Elwin, comes after five seasons with the Titans for 30-year-old Peats who is keeping all options open come September.
“I’m not too sure what the future holds,” he said.
“We just thought selling the house would make it easier to transition, be that to another club here [in Australia] or overseas I just don’t know yet.”
The family entertainer is close to the beach and Tallebudgera Creek.
The Sydney-born hooker made his NRL debut with South Sydney and went on to play three seasons with Paramatta before signing with the Titans in 2016.
Career highlights include five appearances with the Indigenous All Stars and donning the NSW jersey in the 2017 State of Origin series.
The onsite auction is scheduled for noon on Saturday, 29 August.
