Scott Cam has finally offloaded his property after it languished on the market for over a year.
The lavish country getaway was renovated by Cam during The Block’s Tree Change season of 2022 and listed for an asking price of between $4.1million and $4.3million in October 2023.
The 62-year-old TV host then dropped the price of the beautiful heritage pad at the end of 2024 for $3.8milion to $3.9million.
It finally sold this month for an undisclosed sum, the Herald Sun reported on Saturday.
Located in Gisborne South, 49kms from Melbourne, the gorgeous cottage sits on 4.04ha in a lush rural setting.
Originally built as a homestead around 1866, the house maintains many classic features of the period, including a wraparound verandah.

Known as Camalot, Cam’s house boasts a stunning fountain, a 3D-printed concrete cabana alongside the pool and an outdoor kitchen with a pizza oven.
The four-bedroom home includes a massive kitchen with a reclaimed timber island bench and butcher’s block, two wine fridges and a large butler’s pantry.
Cam’s design style is a delightful mix of rustic charm and modern updates, featuring stone and stylish timber finishes.
Highlights include French doors, a thoughtful open-plan layout and the best in the latest appliances.
There’s also an al fresco dining space, a mud room and a private office.
The Block Auction in 2202 ended in disaster when only two houses managed to make it over the $4.3M reserve price.
Omar Slaimankhel and Ozman ‘Oz’ Abu Malik managed to net a record-breaking $1.6million profit for their home at the auction.
It comes after reports that The Block host is ready to hang up his tool belt and retire from The Block after 14 years as its host.

The Block's Scott Cam 'feared' Kylie Baker after 'traumatic' run-ins with the villain on set
The media personality, who recently turned 62, took over as host from Jamie Durie in 2010 during season three of the series, is said to be frustrated with contestants in recent years.
Woman’s Day reports that Scott’s had enough and 2025 will be his last year, but Nine says that’s just not the case.
An insider alleges that Scott revealed his retirement plans while filming season 20, saying he was only doing ‘this year and next’ on the show.
‘When Jesse [Maguire] and Paige [Beechey] quit the series mid-season, it really shocked him and made him even more determined to walk away in 2025,’ they said.
‘Scott holds The Block very dear to his heart and he couldn’t understand why anyone would leave his hit series and the highly emotional decision they made.
The Block was originally set to film in Daylesford this year, but complications with receiving council permits pushed that renovation back to next year.
Producers scrambled at the last second to secure a run down resort on Phillip Island, dropping a staggering $9.5 million on Island Cove Villas,
The insider said Scott was ‘bitterly disappointed’ when Daylesford was put on the backburner because he wanted to host that season ‘then bow out graciously’.

Scott addressed rumours of his impending retirement from Nine’s hit renovation show to Daily Mail as recently as last year.
The builder-turned-reality TV host attended a launch party for the 2023 season of his show and told the crowd he was planning on staying for a long time.
‘Two months ago I signed a multiple year deal with the Nine Network. It was an easy decision as I love this show and couldn’t think of going anywhere else,’ he said.
Scott then said while he had no immediate retirement plans, when that day came in the distant future he had the perfect person in mind to take over as host.
‘I reckon the only person who could do it is my current co-host Shelley Craft, that’s right,’ he said.
Shelley, 48, added there was no one better suited than her to take over the reins when the time finally came.
‘That’s my job, isn’t it? Don’t I step up and then I get a sidekick?’ she joked.
In 2022, Scott addressed speculation about his future on the show yet again, telling Daily Mail he would be on building sites for decades to come.
The veteran tradie has a 40 plus-year career behind him and has hosted The Block for the past 14 years—with seemingly no desire to stop any time soon.
‘I’m 60 this year and I’m physically fit, I’m doing a renovation of my home now because of the mould from all the rain,’ he told Daily Mail at the time.
‘I’ve got at least another decade on the tools. I told my wife recently, we’ve got 20 years of good health left so from January 1, let’s start a 20-year odyssey of living life.
‘I’ll keep going till I can’t anymore because I love it. I reckon I can do 20 years on the tools, and I’ll pull up when my body tells me to.’
