AUSTRALIA'S BARGAIN PROPERTY?

At $50 million you can hardly call it a bargain but when a property is reduced by almost  25% of its asking price ($18 million) it has to be a bargain - right?
Look at some the features -

2478 hectares of sprawling land

Two Swimming Pools ( where is the slide!!!!)

Two helipads, two pools, tennis court, river, dam and three cottages.  Only three? 

Artificial insemination room for 300 horses (handy for some) and a private polo ground.

It all sounds incredibly indulgent of things you 'just cant live without' but it really let me down with the sauna.  I can honestly say from all the homes I have visited and/or redesigned the sauna is the most under used and over rated room of any house.

Impressed? Unimpressed? What room or feature do you think is the most useless addition to a house?

VOYEUR TO THE CELEBRITY HOMES

Nothing better than a well known artist selling their home so you can get a sneak peak. See Flea from Red Hot Chilli Peppers' home for sale. Simply Stunning. Make sure you click onto the full presentation to get the true beauty of the home. What I love most is how they have capitalised on the location and the whole interior reflects the essence of the view and lifestyle.

SELLING YOUR HOME

Now this is the opposite of what we saw above - in price and location of course but most alarming is lack of care and detail to any sort of presentation. Your photo's on the web of your house for sale is your best advertising. Make sure you show your house at its best potentential to get the best price possible, no matter what price you have on the house. Hanging jumpers as art isnt the best way to go! And putting yourself in the picture? - well move out of the way next time

DREAM ON

House of the year, 2007-2008 up for sale. On the Gold Coast, the architect was apparently inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright. Known for his streams and building within the landscape, this 40m infinity pool, which by the way wraps around the house is a perfect reflection of the coastal lifestyle. I wish.....
