One of Australia’s smallest homes sells for less than $100K
One of Australia’s most unusual homes, a tiny cottage that sits on stilts, seems to have found a new owner.
A blue, one-bedroom house in Innisfail, Queensland, is currently under offer at $95,000 ($NZ 103,000), as reported by Nine, after it was listed for $99,000 ($NZ 108,000) by Raine & Horne.
With just 110 square metres of internal space, the property could be one of Australia’s smallest permanent homes.
While the listing describes it as having “plenty of life left in it” and “ready for a quick restoration”, the current state of the home’s interiors makes it uninhabitable, including holes in the walls with exposed wires, a shell of a kitchen, and loose wooden pailings on one side.
The agent told the outlet that the house is on “stilts” after being moved from another local block and described it as a “potential gold mine”.
The current owner reportedly had plans to build on the 1067-square-metre block, but these have since fallen through.
An oven, bed, and a fridge with writing on it remain in the house, along with a single basin on the floor in one room.
The space underneath the home is also partially enclosed, with an existing shower and the potential to be turned into a studio.
