The prize-winning home from The Block is set to launch as an Airbnb in the New Year.

Built by contestants Britt and Taz, the four-bedroom, three-bathroom, luxe pad went under the hammer during the season finale last month for $3.41 million.

The sale of House 3 to an anonymous buyer left the pair from WA $520,000 richer, including $100,000 in prize money.

After The Block winners settle in January, the owners will open the sprawling home as a short-term rental in February, reported the Herald Sun on Wednesday.

‘They will use it as an Airbnb,’ Block auctioneer Mark Nunn told the publication.

Clearly, the owners saw the potential in the local market for luxe accommodation, since Daylesford, 112 km from Melbourne, is known as a weekend getaway.

The sales agent did not disclose the kind of rates holiday-makers can expect from the lavishly appointed property, which includes a ‘wellness room’ and pool.

However, Airbnb currently features several properties that are available in the $1000-$2500 price range for one guest over five nights.

Other features in Britt and Taz’s House 3 include a guest suite and a dining and living space that boasts a stone-clad fireplace.

It comes after The Block’s disastrous Daylesford auction left Han and Can empty-handed.

And now the couple could end up waiting well into the New Year before their luxe House 2 finds a buyer.

Blockheads Emma and Ben are facing the same situation after House 1 was also passed in during the renovation show’s abysmal finale.

The issue for the two teams is Daylesford’s sluggish market, where properties can sit unloved on sales listings for up to four months.

According to PropTrack, it typically takes 139 days before a home in the tiny rural getaway is sold.

Meanwhile, real estate agents based in the district told the Herald Sun that it has taken up to nine months for some owners to find a buyer.

Agents confirmed that they are looking to offload the two Block pads at the reserve price Nine set for each: $3.1 million.

So far, Emma and Ben have received a lot of interest from ‘mum and dad’ buyers, according to the publication.

But the agent in charge of the sale confirmed that none of the offers were at $3 million, after the house was listed for $3 million to $3.3 million.

Han and Can’s home is on the market with the same price guide.

Meanwhile, the real estate agent who handled Han and Can’s dismal auction has weighed in on The Block’s shock finale.

No bids were made on the couple’s sprawling four-bedroom, three-bathroom home.

Auctioneer David Holmes believes the figure was too high for the town, where the median house price is $800,000.

‘You are looking at five properties that they’re asking essentially $3million to $3.5million in a market where $2.7 million is a really high price for a very stunning architectural home.’

He added that for those prices, buyers could find a similar luxury pad in Byron Bay or the Yarra Valley.

Holmes said that the couple have hopes of finding an investor who wants to open an Airbnb in the area.
