Jaw-dropping ‘Goldywood' estate is back on the market
A jaw-dropping luxury estate used to accommodate actors shooting at nearby film studios is back on the market.
The sprawling property at 36 Jenkins Court, Upper Coomera is priced at more than $8m and marketed by Amir Prestige agents, Alex and Victoria Fleri.
It's been on and off the market for the past five years since being transformed into a private retreat fit for film stars.
The current owners spent close to $3m on the rebuild after purchasing the property as a deceased estate for $1.2m in 2016.
Anchored by a contemporary five-bedroom, four-bathroom home, the estate commands breathtaking 360-degree views stretching from Brisbane to northern New South Wales, and showcasing the glittering lights of the Gold Coast skyline.
Features include a basketball court, infinity pool and spa, tennis court, firepit, commercial-grade gym and yoga garden, along with a recently upgraded professional recording studio.
The estate has doubled as a home away from home for visiting actors shooting film productions in the region.
The nearby Village Roadshow Studios comprises world-class facilities and has hosted productions including Nautilus, Aquaman, San Andreas, and Unbroken, while the city itself has earned the nickname 'Goldywood' for its local investment into the film industry.
The home includes five large bedrooms including an opulent master suite along with three renovated bathrooms and a powder room, plus a media room and fireplace lounge.
Illuminated waterfall stone benchtops in the kitchen anchor expansive living areas, flowing onto a vast covered terrace.
Mr Fleri – who moonlights as an actor and film producer himself – confirmed Aussie screen veteran and Gladiator star Russell Crowe was among actors who had stayed at the Jenkins Court estate.
Oscar-winner Crowe stars in the upcoming thriller Bear Country, shooting on the Gold Coast this year and marking a return to the Glitter Strip for the award-winning Aussie actor, who also appeared in Land of Bad, another local production filmed in 2022 with Luke and Liam Hemsworth.
Builder's marvel named Aus hottest home
One of the Hemsworth brothers is also understood to have stayed at the property.
'The location within a secure gated estate provides the openness of an acreage while being ensconced in privacy, and then of course there's the view, the quality and inclusions of the home itself and the lifestyle that comes with it,' Mr Fleri said.
'With the basketball and the tennis courts, all of the property's features create the luxury vibe that is comparable to the Hollywood Hills lifestyle, and that is why it is a drawcard for the Village Roadshow guestlist.'
Mr Fleri said the owners had maintained a close relationship with the location hunters and studio executives, and would also be positioned within easy reach of a new screen production facility planned for Yatala, between the Coast and Brisbane.
The property is marketed via an expressions of interest campaign.
