Muscle hero The Rock, 52, pampers his wife immensely and has a dream life in the lavish Broadbeach Waters mega-mansion
A Broadbeach Waters mega-mansion featured in an action blockbuster starring Hollywood heavyweight Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson is up for grabs.
Known as Te Moana, the sprawling property at 249-255 Monaco St was used in several scenes for Johnson’s 2015 film, San Andreas, and last changed hands for $12.5m in August 2020.

Ms Moffrey did not release a price guide for the 3296 sqm estate, but noted parallels to a landmark Isle of Capri mansion, which took the title of the state’s most expensive residential property ever sold at auction in July.
Both resort-inspired homes were built in the 1990s on prized lots with 42m of waterfrontage each, both were touted as among Australia’s best homes of their era, and both were deemed fit as a local base for Johnson’s big-budget disаster film, which centred around a massive earthquake hitting California.
“San Andreas was one of the year’s most popular films in 2015 and there are some very distinct scenes with The Rock on the driveway and in the living room.
“Action stars don’t get much bigger than Dwayne Johnson, so to sаy he’s been there, is quite the conversation starter. And that’s before you even start to take in the spectacular views over the water,” she said.
Te Moana last changed hands for $12.5m.
Set among tropical gardens, the two-storey mansion has 5 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms, as well as a huge al fresco entertaining terrace with outdoor kitchen, a 17m swimming pool, pontoon, jetty and six-car garage.
“It really was the Taj Mahal of its day, albeit with a very red terracotta, Mediterranean style,” Ms Moffrey said.
“To this day, it’s still an incredible property — a private estate on one of the Coast’s most prestigious streets. It’s been beautifully styled with gorgeous high ceilings and an airy open feel. If you like big, then this is your place.”

They sold their architect-designed new Toorak home for $25m in November 2020 after just a month to make the move north.
The couple is now looking to downsize in the area and split their time between the Gold Coast and Airlie Beach.
