From the Footy Field to the Farm – Latrell Mitchell’s Shed Story
Nothing says rural Australia like wide open land, family close by, and the space to create a life on your own terms. And that’s exactly what NRL star Latrell Mitchell has carved out for himself on the NSW South Coast.
While most Aussies know him for his big hits and even bigger plays on the footy field, away from the game Latrell is focused on the things that matter most—his land, his community, and his roots.
“It’s not just a shed. It’s a part of my home,”
Latrell tells us, standing proudly on his property. Surrounded by rolling hills and paddocks, he explains how his shed isn’t just for storing gear. It’s a space that supports his lifestyle and reflects his values.
After years of travel and time in the spotlight, creating something long-term for his family became a top priority. And when it came to adding a shed to the property, he knew it had to be reliable, tough, and tailored to his way of life.
“The team was unreal,” Latrell says. “It was easy. Straightforward. They knew exactly what I needed.”
Whether he’s loading up the quad bike, getting things done around the property, or watching his kids run around in the paddock, the shed has become part of daily life—practical, personal, and made to suit the rhythm of rural living.
From city stadiums to quiet country lanes, Latrell hasn’t forgotten where he came from. His shed is a reflection of that—honest, hardworking, and made for the land.
