The kitchen is generous and shoot-friendly, supported by a butler’s pantry and flowing naturally into surrounding living zones. Bedrooms—including a main bedroom, guest bedroom, and kids bedroom—add further layers of versatility, while bathrooms, ensuites, and a powder room continue the home’s refined yet relaxed feel. What truly sets ELIA apart is its spa-like, wellness retreat atmosphere. Outdoors, the property unfolds into a lush, landscaped setting that feels private and transportive. A custom-built cold plunge, hot tub, magnesium pool, and integrated outdoor sauna create a calm, elevated environment that reads as both luxury and lifestyle. This zone is especially suited to wellness, editorial, branding, and lifestyle shoots, offering multiple shoot-ready moments within a single outdoor flow. A courtyard, patio, garden, BBQ area, and outdoor kitchen further expand the usable footprint, allowing creatives to move seamlessly between interior and exterior zones. Throughout the home, details such as fireplaces, ceiling fans, air conditioning, heating, and thoughtful room connections support long shoot days with ease. The presence of a home office, entry foyer, driveway, and multiple access points adds to the practical appeal, while maintaining a visually polished result on camera. A typical shoot day at ELIA might begin at the front of the house in the early light, moving through interior living spaces as the sun rises higher, before transitioning outdoors in the afternoon to capture the wellness zones, pool, and garden as the light softens over the river. With generous onsite and street parking, wheelchair-friendly access, and a layout designed for flow, the experience is as smooth behind the scenes as it is on camera. Located in Broadbeach Waters, QLD, ELIA is a shoot-ready home that rewards creatives with visual payoff, flexibility, and a calm, considered energy—making it easy to create compelling content without compromise.
