The Block: Scott Cam’s Gisborne property he renovated on the 2022 tree change season finally sells

Scott Cam’s renovated house from the 2022 season of The Block has finally sold after more than a year on the market, for less than the other houses on the show.

While the sales price of property, which sold on New Year’s Eve 2024, is not official, local chatter first reported by The Herald Sun said it sold for around $3.75m.

That sale price would be the lowest amount of all the houses built in Gisborne for the show’s tree change season — won by Omar and Oz — when their property sold for $5,666,666.66 to Danny Wallis.

Cam’s home, known as ‘Camalot’, was completed in 2022 alongside the other contestants, and was originally put on the market in October 2023 with a $4.1m – $4.3m asking price.

After failing to find a buyer it was taken down, then relisted in the latter part of 2024 with a reduced $3.8m to $3.9m guide.

The five-bedroom, four-bathroom home boasts an open-plan living and dining areas, a central fireplace, gourmet kitchen, five-car garage and workshop, and an in-ground pool.

The sale was handled by Kirrily Evans from Evans Realty Group, who, when contacted on the weekend, said the price was undisclosed.

The property was built from an original cottage that was bought and subdivided by Channel 9 for the show that year.

Regular Block bidder, Advantage Property Consulting director and buyers’ advocate Frank Valentic, previously told The Herald Sun in the 207 McGeorge Rd would be popular.

He also said when he showed buyers through Camalot when The Block was on air in 2022, some commented that “it’s the best house on the show”.

The estate spans more than 4ha, and the cottage was originally built in 1866.

The renovation, led by Cam, saw the home extended, garden landscaped and in-ground pool added to create a luxury country retreat.

It was not auctioned during The Block 2022 finale, when the five houses renovated by the contestants went under the hammer.

Instead it was held back before officially hitting the market in October 2023.

Only three homes sold on auction day in the show’s 2022 final episode. After Omar and Oz scooped the major prize with their $5.666m sale, Tom and Jane’s sold for $4.1m, and Rachel and Ryan’s sold in post-auction negotiations for $4.25m.

Ankur and Sharon’s home passed in and the couple had to wait a week until it was revealed that Adrian Portelli snapped up their house for $4.25m as well.

Jenny and Dylan were the unluckiest of the team’s on the show that season, who had to wait until May 2023 to secure a sale for their house. It ultimately fetched $3.9m, $180,000 less than the auction day reserve.

The Block moves to Daylesford in 2025, with pre-production underway and plans revealing the brand new homes being built.

Channel 9 reportedly paid $9.4m for former farm land on the outskirts of the tourist town in regional Victoria.
