North to Brisbane where a family home at 14 Dunrod St, Holland Park West (above) is going to auction at 10am through Ray White Builmba’s George Trovas.
“It’s 60 years old and has been one family’s home all that time,” Mr Trovas said.
“It’s an 809sq m parcel of land with a post-war home that can obviously be removed. It’s got a 20m street frontage so there’s very strong potential for the property to be subdivided into two blocks but I’ve had just as much interest from people who just want a big block to build their dream home.” |

It’ll be a huge Saturday afternoon in Victoria for Ray White Drysdale principal Travis Smith, who’s auctioning off 10 blocks of vacant land, one after the other starting at 2pm.
The sales of the lots at ‘Waterway Estate’ (above), 20 minutes from Geelong, has drawn huge interest from buyers.
“The exciting thing is that it’s finished, and to get land on a 60-day settlement and be in by Christmas is not happening in many other places in Victoria,” Mr Smith said.
He compared the offering to a box of chocolates, with a selection of block sizes ranging from 410sq m to 1,051sq m.
“We’re expecting to do a sellout with reserves set by valuation to sell on the day,” Mr Smith said. |

Ray White Petersham director Nicholas Arena said the property had belonged to the same family for more than three decades.
