Step into the captivating world of Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson’s Australian mega-mansion, nestled in the prestigious enclave of Broadbeach Waters. This sprawling architectural masterpiece, which served as a backdrop for a high-octane Hollywood blockbuster starring none other than Dwayne Johnson himself, is now available to those with an appetite for luxury.
Prepare to be swept off your feet, but be prepared to dig deep into your pockets. This crown jewel of a residence, often compared to another illustrious riverfront estate that recently commanded a staggering $24M, promises a lifestyle fit for the stars. Dubbed “Te Moana,” this iconic property at 249-255 Monaco St not only played a pivotal role in Johnson’s 2015 cinematic hit, San Andreas, but also witnessed a significant transaction in August 2020, changing hands for a cool $12.5M.
Behold, an opulent realm that draws parallels with the renowned 59 The Corso on the Isle of Capri, the very property that seized the spotlight with its jaw-dropping $24M sale last month. Marketed through a campaign of intrigue and curiosity led by Rebecca Moffrey of Ray White Burleigh Group, Te Moana’s value геmаιns undisclosed. A true masterpiece of 3296 sqm, it’s akin to the Isle of Capri’s regal mansion that clinched the title of Queensland’s most expensive residential property ever auctioned this past July.
Both of these paradisiacal residences, reminiscent of lavish resorts, were born in the vibrant 1990s, nestled upon coveted waterfront lots boasting an impressive 42 meters each. As if that wasn’t enough, they both stood as alluring prospects for Dwayne Johnson’s cinematic escapades, particularly his seismic journey through San Andreas. Rebecca Moffrey puts it eloquently, “Te Moana undoubtedly stands as one of the Coast’s most extravagant homes, steeped in Hollywood history.”
This haven of luxury, cocooned within tropical gardens, unveils a two-story mansion boasting 5 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms. Beyond its lavish interiors lies an expansive al fresco haven, complete with an outdoor kitchen, perfect for opulent gatherings. The pièce de résistance? A 17-meter swimming pool, punctuated by a pontoon and jetty, where elegance and indulgence converge. A six-car garage discreetly echoes the mansion’s grandeur, completing the picture of unrivaled luxury.
Immerse yourself in the allure of the past, as this Mediterranean-style architectural wonder, lovingly referred to as the “Taj Mahal of its day,” stands as a testament to timeless opulence. Rebecca Moffrey affirms its magnificence, praising the soaring ceilings and airy design that invite natural light to dance throughout the expanse. This is a realm for those who revel in grandeur, who are captivated by sweeping water views that seem to stretch to eternity.
Intricately woven into its storied history, this luxurious abode sheltered Australian Finance Group founder Malcolm Watkins and his partner, the visionary interior designer Peter Kerr, offering solace in the face of the раndемιϲ. Having released their architecturally stunning Toorak dwelling for an impressive $25M, the duo embarked on a journey northwards, drawn by the allure of this coastal paradise. “Leaving behind Melbourne was no small decision after dedicating nearly three years to our Toorak masterpiece. But the allure of this resort-like sanctuary was irresistible,” muses Mr. Watkins.
As they chart their course to a more modest abode, splitting their time between the vibrant Gold Coast and the enchanting Airlie Beach, the legacy of Te Moana continues to flourish. It stands as a beacon of luxury, a living testament to the allure of the silver screen intertwined with the elegance of architectural splendor.
