Margot Robbie Reportedly Buys Record-Breaking Luxury Estate in Her Childhood Home, Currumbin Valley

Margot Robbie is believed to be the mystery buyer behind Redwood, a sprawling luxury estate in Currumbin Valley, purchased in an off-market sale last June for $28 million, the highest price ever paid for a residential property in Queensland. The ‘Barbie’ star, 36, bought the Yellowstone-style ranch that sits where her childhood memories live, a place she knew before the world knew her name. She left the Gold Coast as a teenager with nothing but a high school diploma and the kind of hunger that comes from watching her mother work two jobs. Now, at the peak of her career, she is back. Though the sale was never publicly advertised, the estate was reportedly sold for an eye-watering $27.5 million to $28 million, according to insiders. The deal remained largely unnoticed, with attention instead focused on the sale of a beachfront mansion on Mermaid Beach’s exclusive ‘Millionaires’ Row’, which was officially recorded as Queensland’s biggest residential property transaction in 2025.

Margot Robbie’s dream house, which sits on a sprawling 2.9-hectare property in Currumbin Valley, has six bedrooms, six bathrooms, and a garage that could fit 10 vehicles, according to the previous listing. The ranch also comes with horse stables, a swimming pool, and a full-size tennis court, every luxury a farm girl might once have dreamed of. The breathtaking, secluded estate offers the perfect balance of privacy, and the best part? It is only a short drive from the coast, exactly the kind of access A-listers and Oscar-nominated actors like Margot Robbie would appreciate.

A Gold Coast girlie, Robbie has previously spoken about her life growing up as the second youngest of four siblings. Her grandparents had a farm in Currumbin Valley. She loved the beachy, surfy region along the country’s eastern edge. “It’s kind of like Miami. Lots of canals and tacky people,” she told Vogue Australia in 2019. She recalled doing her homework in a tree and looking up at the stars from a water tank at the property. “Do you remember when we lived in Currumbin Valley, I would always do my homework in a tree?” she asked her mother. “I’ve said that to friends now who grew up in New York City or London, and they have no idea what I mean. And I say: ‘Well, there were camphor laurel trees down the back past the paddock and Mum could yell out the window when dinner was ready.’ You tell stories like that, and you realise how lucky you are to have grown up on the Gold Coast,” she added. Margot Robbie’s purchase is something beyond a real estate investment. She left Australia as a teenager to pursue acting and juggled multiple shifts at a bar and café to fund her dream. Today, she has built a career completely on her own terms and emerged as one of Hollywood’s most bankable stars. She has her own production company. She is married, has a child, and has achieved the kind of success the girl from the Gold Coast did not even dare to dream of. The Gold Coast hinterland has become a familiar destination for A-list acquisitions, with wealth clustering towards privacy and sunshine. But for Robbie, this purchase seems different. The Gold Coast isn’t just a lifestyle choice or an investment play, but a return to the place where she first learned to want more than what she had.
