Ricky Martin may be coming to Australia to star on the next season of The Voice, but he's putting down roots in New York.

The 40-year-old singer has dropped $6.4 million on an apartment in New York's Upper East Side.

The property features four bedrooms, four bathrooms and has never been lived in.

It's expected Martin will move into the home with his partner Carlos Gonzalez Abell and his twin sons Matteo and Valentino, who were born via an Australian surrogate.
