THE Rock will enjoy magnificent waterfront views of the Surfers Paradise skyline while he pumps iron in his private gym after moving in to his new home away from home – one of the Gold Coast’s priciest mansions.

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson yesterday posted a picture across social media of himself in the grounds of his new home, a two-level luxury house on a quiet section of the Nerang River, known as the Adams Basin, on the Isle of Capri.

“Mornin’ greetings from the Gold Coast, Australia ... #RiseAndGrind #AussieLove” he Tweeted.

The Rock is in town to take the starring role in $100 million adventure epic San Andreas.

He starts work on set on Tuesday playing a helicopter pilot who desperately tries to save his estranged daughter in the wake of a massive Californian earthquake.

A social media sensation, The Rock follows no one but is known to reply to his followers himself.

And with seven million followers on Twitter, three million on Instagram and more than 30 million likes on his Facebook page, the Hollywood star could turn out to be the best one-man tourism campaign the Gold Coast has ever had.

“My selfie game would be strong if my head wasn’t so big … Greetings from the beautiful Gold Coast of Australia. Lets get to work,” he wrote on Facebook after posting the picture.

Today the action star has shared another picture strapped up in a harness practice rescue repelling on the set of San Andreas.

“Helo rescue repelling techniques for SAND ANDREWS. Shooting starts next week her on the Gold Coast. #FirstResponders,” he tweeted.

He is believed to be paying $20,000 a week in rent.

With two floors of living space totalling 1630sq m and 705sq m of outdoor living areas, the sprawling mansion has everything a Hollywood star could want.

The home also boasts:

The house, which is currently on the market with an asking price of $15 million, was built by surfwear industry pioneer Doug Spong and then-wife Mara in the 1990s.

It was designed by architectural firm Hamilton Hayes Henderson.

Real estate agent John McGrath has described the home as one of the best he has seen in Australia
