Where Does Chris Hemsworth Live?
Chris Hemsworth was living in Los Angeles up until 2015. Feeling overwhelmed by Hollywood, however, he decided to relocate his family to the town of Byron Bay in Australia. His massive compound there has been the family’s home ever since!

Following his return to Australia, Chris Hemsworth purchased what was originally a Balinese-style resort home and built a massive compound in its place. Hemsworth picked up the original property for $7 million in 2014 and reportedly dished out $18 million to build the home you see below!
Easily the largest home in the area, Hemsworth’s Byron Bay compound is rumored to feature 6 bedrooms and 10 bathrooms. Other amenities include a media room, game rooms, a gym, steam room, and a rooftop infinity pool.
The rooftop pool alone is estimated to have cost a whopping $400,000 alone to construct!
In addition to all the luxuries listed above, the compound also features unbeatable views of Seven Mile Beach and lush surrounding land. Construction on the new home began around 2018 and was only just completed some time in 2022.
While it is an incredible property, not everyone was thrilled about Hemsworth’s luxury home being built in Byron Bay. Some locals in the area were displeased with the construction due to the sheer size of it – seeing it more as an eyesore than anything.
The area, nicknamed Hemsworth Hills, is not only home to Chris, but also his brother, Liam! The youngest of the Hemsworth brothers built a gorgeous estate not far from his brother’s place. Whether Liam lives there full-time anymore, however, is unknown.

Chris Hemsworth and Elsa Pataky purchased this stunning Malibu home back in 2016 for $3.4 million as a place for Chris and fam to stay while stateside.
Located on Point Dume, the 1.25 acre property boasts 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms as well as 4,600 square feet of interior living space.
As soon as you step into the spacious digs, you’ll be greeted with stylish concrete floors, wood touches, and high ceilings that tease of even better things to come. Here, the dining room, living room w/custom fireplace, and kitchen can be found.
Just outside the living room and kitchen, a wall of glass opens up to an outdoor dining terrace for those al fresco occasions. This is also where you’ll find the home’s built-in BBQ station and firepit area.
Further into the home, you’ll find a purple-rific theater room that open onto the grounds via a set of French doors.
Okay, so this master suite may not look like much on the surface, but don’t let its simple design fool you!
Just outside the master suite is a private courtyard that features its own sauna and sitting area – all of which is protected by tall walls and lush greenery.
As for the master’s ensuite, it features a huge steam shower, dual vanities, and a large soaking tub. Also in the suite is a boutique-style walk-in closet with wooden shelving.
Hemsworth listed the home in September 2020 for $4.9 million and it would go on to sell in January 2021 for a reduced $4.2 million price tag.

Chris Hemsworth Alzheimer’s Scare
Hemsworth recently had a bit of a health scare (potentially) when he underwent DNA testing for the Nat Geo series Limitless With Chris Hemsworth.
During the episode in question, it was revealed that Hemsworth has two copies of the APOE4 gene – each from both parents. This indicates that Hemsworth could have a strong predisposition to develop Alzheimer’s disease in his elder years.
Generally, only 1-in-4 people carry a single copy of this specific gene, but Hemsworth is one of the 2-3% of the population that has both.
While alarming for the actor, Chris Hemsworth is now actively working to maintain his mental fitness as much as his physical. He recently took a break from acting altogether to spend more time with his family in the wake of his health scare, though he’s far from retiring.
