The Block Gisborne home built by Scott Cam during last year’s season finally hits the market with $4.3M price hopes… after contestants’ homes failed to attract big bids
Scott Cam has finally put his Gisborne home on the market after building it with The Block: Tree Change participants in 2022.
The lifestyle TV host, 60, has asked for $4.1-$4.3 million, which was the price guide set at the auction last year, reported Realty.com.au.
While most participants failed to sell their Gisborne homes for that price last year, Scott seems confident his renovation will fly off the market for millions.
Regular Block bidder Frank Valentic predicts the media personality will have no problem finding a buyer for his circa-1866 home.
“I think when (Scott) renovated it it was very, very popular. I’d be surprised if it wasn’t popular again. It had that period style that the other houses didn’t have,” Frank said.

He added that the house, which sits on 10 acres, “looks like a real country house” and was named “the best house” on last year’s season of The Block.
Scott’s home, also known as the Camalot, features a beautiful fountain, a 3D-printed concrete cabana next to the pool, and an outdoor kitchen with a pizza oven.
The four-bedroom home features a huge kitchen with a reclaimed wood island bench and butcher block, two wine refrigerators and a large butler’s pantry.

While most participants failed to sell their Gisborne homes for that price last year, Scott seems confident his renovation will disappear from the market for millions.
A wraparound veranda and beautiful landscaped gardens will be the talk of potential buyers, as will the separate home office and studio.
Last year’s Block Auction ended in disaster when only two houses managed to exceed the reserve price of $4.3 million.
Omar Slaimankhel and Ozman ‘Oz’ Abu Malik managed to make a record profit of $1.6 million for their house at auction.

Tom Calleja and Sarah-Jane Wilson barely made the reserve, and Rachel and Ryan Carr stopped by their house to negotiate a winning of just under $170,000.
Meanwhile, Sharon Johal and Ankur Dogra from House 3 and Dylan Adams and Jenny Heath from House 4 also visited, but they could not find buyers for their houses.
Later, Sharon and Ankur sold their build for $4.25 million to high-stakes bidder Adrian Portelli, who raffled it off through his LMCT+ promotional company.
Dylan and Jenny had a less happy ending: their house was sold months later to a private buyer for $180,000 less than the reserve price.
