Unusual dwelling with ladder access now up for sale at $400,000

Unfinished Home on Stilts in Grandchester Up for Sale

A unique and intriguing property located at 58 Gatton Street, Grandchester, west of Brisbane, has hit the market with a starting offer of $400,000. This three-bedroom home, which has been elevated on stilts for almost a decade, offers a blank canvas for buyers to create their dream home.

The listing provides "plenty of scope to complete the home to your own design," allowing buyers to customise the property to their preferences. With framing and some infrastructure in place, renovators and builders will appreciate the head start.

The property, which does not have a bathroom, was raised three metres in the air to allow for the construction of a lower level. The home's elevated position offers a unique outlook and the ability to add further improvements underneath. However, prospective buyers will need to navigate the home using a ladder, as the provision of a ladder for exploration during the open-home is not confirmed.

Interest in the unusual home has been "absolutely mental," according to agent Megan Acutt of Ray White Ipswich. The property, which can only be accessed with a ladder, has attracted attention from first-home buyers and builders alike.

Despite not having inspected the property, a potential buyer has already placed an offer on the home. The first inspection will take place on Saturday.

The home was last sold for $192,000 in 2017. With its unique location and potential for customisation, it remains to be seen whether the property will reach its asking price.

Prospective buyers should note that while the listing suggests the opportunity to customise the home, the search results do not specify which persons last renovated or built it. The first inspection on Saturday will provide more information for those considering making an offer on the property.
