The Gold Coast’s ultra-prime riverfront estate, famously leased by Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson in 2014, is back on the market.
Spanning 2,197sqm across four coveted Adams Basin blocks, the Balinese-inspired Isle of Capri offers 52.7 metres of river frontage, sweeping skyline views, and a blend of luxury and entertainer-ready spaces that make it one of the city’s most sought-after properties.
The property at 59 The Corso, Isle of Capri, last sold at public auction in 2023 for $24 million, attracting 10 registered bidders and significant national attention.
Media reports that Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson previous occupied the property has bolstered interest.
It was reported Mr Johnson leased the property in April 2014 while filming on the Gold Coast; he even shared a selfie from the residence on social media with the caption: “Mornin’ greetings from the Gold Coast, Australia … #RiseAndGrind #AussieLove.”
The estate commands 52.7 metres of north-east facing river frontage and captures sweeping water views across to the Surfers Paradise skyline.
“It’s one of the most tightly held and desirable riverfront positions on the Gold Coast,” Kollosche Director Michael Kollosche said.
“The opportunity to acquire four riverfront blocks side by side in a location like this is exceptionally rare.”
The Balinese-inspired residence is constructed from sandstone, New Guinea rosewood, Oregon timber and teak, designed around a striking central atrium where water, light and natural materials interact throughout.
At the heart of the home, an expansive open-plan kitchen, living and dining area features a six-metre trapezoid stone island bench, complemented by Miele appliances and a butler’s pantry.
The property includes five ensuite bedrooms within the main residence, a self-contained caretaker’s cottage, a 7,000-bottle wine cellar and a six-car basement garage.
Entertainment spaces extend throughout, including a cinema, media room, wet bar and full-size billiards room.
Framed by parkland on two sides, Mr Kollosche said the property offers a rare combination of privacy and proximity to key lifestyle amenities.
“To assemble four riverfront properties in a tightly held pocket like Isle of Capri would be extremely difficult to achieve these days,” he said.
“Properties of this scale and position are incredibly rare and very tightly held. For high-net-worth buyers, the opportunity often lies in securing a landmark asset when it becomes available.”
