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.

The 11 new ‘Aussie words' you will now find in the Oxford Dictionary
Australians rejoice! The Oxford English Dictionary (OED) has included 11 new words that are quintessentially Australian in its latest update. Unsurprisingly, the new words have a lot to do with booze and footy. Oxford types have caught up with Aussie teenagers, with the inclusion of the word 'goon'. Most Aussies will certainly understand taking a swig out of a goon bag, which is officially listed as 'a plastic, foil-lined pouch in which inexpensive wine is sold'. Tigers star Dustin Martin pulling out a 'don't argue', which is one of the Aussie terms added to the Oxford Dictionary this year. Credit: Quinn Rooney / Getty Images Oxford elites might need a little longer to catch up on the game 'goon of fortune', played by countless cohorts of Aussies during their adolescence. Next is 'cask', which describes the box around the goon bag. While 'slab' refers to a case of beer, which is now officially known as 'retail pack of beer, typically containing 24 cans or bottles'. Moving on, the word 'spew' now has new reverence. Most Aussies know someone 'spewin' over something, most recently the insane cost-of-living in this country. Officially, spew refers to when 'someone is bitterly disappointed or very annoyed about something. An Australian who says they are 'absolutely spewing' means they are devastated or angry.' The Australian love of sport is also a big one for Oxford types in 2025. The word 'carn' has officially gained its place in the dictionary. Officially, the word 'carn' means the 'colloquial pronunciation of 'come on!'. Our beloved AFL got 'best and fairest' in the dictionary in 2025. The term 'best and fairest' is, officially, 'an Australian rules football or rugby league player who wins any of various awards given for a combination of exceptional performance and good sportsmanship'. The sport has also given us the 'don't argue' this year, with it widely used in other contact sports. Officially, it is 'a colloquial term for a push or blow to the face ... delivered to fend off a potential tackler, using the arm held out straight from the body'. Aboriginal English also got two new additions in the Oxford dictionary. 'Balanda' which is a word dating back to the 1800s, used to refer to a white person or white people. Most believe the word Makasarese is a derivative of the Dutch word 'Hollander' or possibly the Malay word 'belanda', meaning Dutch or European. The Makassarese language is spoken in the South Sulawesi province in Indonesia. Officially: 'Balanda is a loan word from the Yolngu language of northeast Arnhem Land, which itself was borrowed from the Makasarese language of South Sulawesi province in Indonesia, or from a similar form in a related language.' While 'custodian' now has an Indigenous layer to its meaning. Officially: 'a term used for an Australian Aboriginal person who is recognised as having certain ancestral rights to, and traditional obligations, responsibilities and authority for a particular area of land and community.' Other entries include 'gunzel', which is Australian slang for: 'a person who loves trams or trains.' Lastly, 'regional', which shouldn't be a massive surprise to anyone, means 'away from major cities'.
