emand is soaring for prestige properties to be the real stars of film, TV and photoshoots as wonderful settings for filming and photography, luxury brand events, and workshops and conferences.

And their owners are making big bucks hiring out their high-end homes for as little as half a day for a short stills shoot to earning around $160,000 for a three-month TV series contract.

“We started 12 years ago but recently we’ve seen a big increase in activity with the high-end homes,” says Michelle McCormac, the director of Australian locations agency Pure Locations.

PR E ST IGE

“We’ve been incredibly busy for the past few years. These days, you need to take so many photos of products because people buy so much online, and every brand now needs to have a presence. There’s just so much demand for top homes, people can earn themselves an annual income from it.”

For those who decide to hire out their prestige properties, it can prove a bonanza. A small photoshoot earned one of McCormac’s clients $2000, a corporate event $8000 for the day, and that television series, shot over three months, $160,000.

A newer entrant into the market is A Perfect Space, founded by chief executive Kate Mitchell.

Her company acts as an Airbnb for locations, with home owners sharing their properties on the platform so producers can hand-pick the locations for their shoots.

“We’ve now got about 400 homes in Australia on the platform, 300 in the pipeline, about 60 in LA where we’ve launched and 35 in Bali.

“We have a lot of prestige, high-end homes as well as some beautiful properties that don’t want to appear on the platform and be marketed directly.”

One of her owners is Louise Robinson, whose house in Melbourne’s St Kilda East has had three bookings over the past six months and earned around $5000, with past business from Getty Images, Origin Energy, Kmart and McCain for their TV commercials and stills.

Above and right Villa Biscaya in Sydney’s Rose Bay, which sold in January, has been a popular set.

Below Yulong Estate near Ballarat is a popular location on the books of A

Perfect Space.

“I’d certainly encourage other owners to give it a go too,” says Robinson. “When we have a booking, I take the dog and go off for the day. I love my house but it’s not a temple; I’m not very precious about things.

“I do it purely for the money. I work part-time and it gives you extra for the holiday fund.”

The secret of Robinson’s success is that her house is a formal Victorian home at the front, has a modern extension at the back and looks quite industrial in the middle – offering a variety of backdrops. Other kinds of homes in demand are those with personality, good gardens and pools, are family-friendly and have easy access and natural light.

Villa Biscaya, a 1929 harbourside home in Sydney’s Rose Bay for instance, was hugely popular for shoots before it was sold in January this year with an asking price of $12.5 million.

“A lot of stylists love that kind of design. It has magnificent gardens and being painted that biscaya pink colour made it very interesting,” says Jaime Upton of Sydney Sotheby’s International Realty, who sold the property.

So, beautiful harbourside houses in Sydney, grand mansions in Melbourne, lovely Queenslanders, Top End cattle stations, homes by the ocean with crashing waves as the backdrop and city penthouses with stunning views all make great settings for shows and functions.

“People like to monetise their asset and now it’s much easier to leverage their property,” says Mitchell.

“The other key driver besides financial is the kudos they may gain from showcasing their homes, while we hide the owners’ identities,” she says.

t seems surpassing churlish to complain, at all, when you are cruising around the world’s most beautiful harbour on a floating pleasure palace worth millions of dollars, and yet complain people do.

After more than a decade of listening to hundreds of people nitpicking and nah-nah-ing the big, beautiful boats they were buying and borrowing off his business – Boating Syndication Australia – Andy Young felt like he should probably do something about it.

With the help of a brave business partner, two years ago he set up Longreef Yachts, right here in Australia, to take on the big boys.

“Andy felt that a lot of the other boat brands don’t offer what he thought he could create.

You can have one boat that’s fantastic in almost every way, but there’s always something, and he had plenty of feedback about what those things were, from literally hundreds of customers,” Longreef spokesman Tristian Vardy says.

“Andy just thought it made sense to create a boat that has everything that people kept asking for, at a price point that is extremely attractive.”

That price point, in the case of the company’s first and only effort so far, the Longreef 60 SX

Flybridge yacht, which quickly sold at the 2019 Sydney Boat Show, was $2.5 million.

The Longreef sleeps 10, which is unusual and hugely practical (even some 80-foot boats only have space for eight to sleep), and it has a vast, covered top-deck flybridge where the skipper can drive and entertain at the same time. A dining table up there seats 12 adults.

There are so many clever touches about this boat, but very best of all is the Dockmate remote-control system, which allows you to drive, and dock, the boat from anywhere you like, with this tiny, magical box in your hands.

You can even step off the boat and guide it into a mooring space. For this alone, most boaties would happily pay a couple of million dollars.

And you’d never hear a word of complaint.

Helpfully, this fivebedroom, harbour-enjoying mansion comes with just the kind of calm, deep-water berth they’ll need for easy, year-round mooring.
