One of The Block’s disastrous Daylesford homes finally sold

The 4 Cedar Lane, Daylesford, home renovated by Can and Han is under offer, more than nine months after it failed to sell under the hammer.

One of the Block’s failed Daylesford auction properties from the disastrous end to last year’s season appears to have been sold.

And with the home last advertised at about $400,000 before it’s reserve price for the finale, it could well be the show’s biggest failure yet.

In a shock result for the lingering property that had multiple price cuts this year, the 4 Cedar Lane address that Hannah (Han) Thetford and Candice (Can) Wood renovated last year has been marked as ‘under offer’.

It comes four days after the show’s second season commenced, and the same timeline from when agents involved in its marketing had indicated that they expected it could take several weeks more to lock in a result.

The four-bedroom, three-bathroom house on a 2320sq m allotment passed in on a $3.1m vendor bid when it went under the hammer last year.

If it progresses, a sale would end a more than nine-month saga for the sale that left it on the market as the show returned to the airwaves for a new season last weekend.

It will also all but guarantee that Han and Cam won’t make any prize money from the show, with their chance at a widnfall tied to the property selling above the $2.99m reserve set for the show last year.

On Sunday the Herald Sun revealed that The Block’s two remaining homes were listed for sale at less than half what it had cost to build them, based on tax depreciation schedules prepared for the homes as they were sold last year.

In Victoria, ‘under offer’ is a term typically used to indicate an acceptable offer has been made for a home and that a sale is pending a clause on the purchase such as “subject to finance” or “subject to pest and building inspection”.

An open-plan living zone has seen limited living since last year’s auction blow.

Han and Can from WA are unlikely to see a cent of the sale given it was last advertised several hundred thousand dollars below their auction reserve price. Picture: Channel 9.

It could also reflect that the sale is still covered by a three-day cooling off period available to Victorian homebuyers, or possibly that a deposit is yet to be received.

With the latest price guide at $2.59m, it’s likely any deposit would need to be at least six figures.

There is no word yet on further developments for the residence at No. 5 Cedar Lane that was renovated by Emma and Ben Cox, but also failed under the hammer with a $3.1m vendor bid also ending its auction.

That home had received a $2.9m offer at auction but it was short of the $2.99m reserve set by The Block for the home.

With No. 4 Cedar Lane also set a $2.99m reserve for the season finale, it is likely it will have been sold for several hundred thousand dollars less than Channel 9 wanted.

For reference, when another of the show’s homes failed under the hammer in Gisborne it sold several months later for $180,000 less than the original reserve price.

A glamorous pool space in the backyard will potentially be good news for the next owner.

The home’s style-centric kitchen has had limited use since the show finished in 2025.

It was last advertised at just $2.59m, with Belle Property agent Will Walton last week indicating he had been anticipating a sale before the show’s auctions were held for this year’s season later in spring.

A sale is potentially good news for contestants in this season, as it removes one of the three former The Block homes from last year’s season that were still on the market in the lead up to this year’s sales.

In addition to No. 4 Cedar Lane, the home at No. 2 Cedar Lane is also now back on the market after being sold for $3.06m at auction last year.

Renovated by Sonny and Alicia Aplin on the show, it has a $2.9m-$3m price guide.

Mr Walton could not comment on the update.

A Channel Nine spokesperson confirmed a sale, but offered “no further comment at this stage”.
