Sam Wood's Property Empire in Limbo Amid Domestic Violence Charges

Sam Wood's multi-million-dollar property portfolio in Melbourne is in a state of uncertainty as the television personality remains in custody on serious domestic violence charges. Wood, 46, was denied bail last week following allegations involving his wife, Snezana, at a luxury Noosa holiday accommodation on October 3.

The sale of a $7.15 million Brighton property, purchased by Wood and Snezana in September 2025, is now in doubt. Sources indicate the couple was preparing to list the seven-bedroom luxury home just days before Wood's arrest in Noosa. The real estate campaign was being handled by Jellis Craig, but it is unclear if the sale will proceed.

Meanwhile, the couple had recently moved into a new $6 million property in a prestigious area. They had purchased this residence from Shara Healy, the ex-wife of Anthony Catalano, and had negotiated to reside there during the settlement period. This home also features seven bedrooms, a pool, and a tennis court.

Wood, known for his fitness empire "28 By Sam Wood" which he sold for $71 million in 2022, has amassed a significant property portfolio. This includes a four-bedroom Caribbean resort-style home in Mount Martha, acquired for $2.7 million in 2020.

During the bail hearing at Maroochydore Magistrates' Court, prosecutors alleged that Wood pushed his wife into a wardrobe, grabbed her by the throat, threw her against a wall, and struck her head against the floor in their Noosa apartment. The court was told Snezana feared for her life during the alleged incident. Wood's stepdaughter reportedly called emergency services.

Prosecutors also stated that Wood's behavior had been escalating, referencing a previous, similar incident in Victoria that did not result in a formal complaint. Photographs of Snezana's alleged injuries were presented in court, and prosecutors indicated she was living in fear of retribution.

Wood's legal team disputed the prosecution's account, asserting that Wood denies strangling or assaulting his wife and intends to defend the charges, potentially arguing self-defense. Acting Magistrate Janelle Boegheim denied bail, but Wood's lawyers confirmed an application for bail would be made in Queensland's Supreme Court. Wood is presumed innocent until proven guilty in court.
