$3.2 million prize home up for sale a month after huge sweepstakes win
The winner of a prize home in Queensland valued at more than $3 million is selling the home just a month after they got it.
A resident of Urunga NSW was announced to have won 66 Templeton Wy, Doonan, on May 14, in a prize draw run by the charity yourtown.
With commitments outside of Queensland, the vendor decided to sell the four-bedroom, three-bathroom home at an upcoming auction.
The house is nestled deep in the Noosa Hinterland accessed through a long driveway inside a private cul-de-sac.
The home will be sold fully furnished, including furniture and appliances valued at around $200,000.
At the Prize Draw, yourtown valued the home at around $3.2 million. Now, the home is being sold by agents Kess Prior & Ruth Venning of Hinternoosa Real Estate.
'It's north facing, it's flooded with natural light, it's absolutely beautiful,' Ms Prior said. 'It's like stepping into a new life.'
The modern Queenslander was owned for nearly 10 years before being sold for the sweepstakes, offering an elevated position over the nearby bush.
The house itself has a covered deck around every side, along with ducted airconditioning and a gas fireplace.
Outside, garden lighting leads into a large pool, along with a cubby house near the back of the property.
The home is less than 20 minutes from both Eumundi and Noosa Heads, and less than half an hour away from the coast's airport.
'Templeton Way is one of the best streets in the Hinterland,' Ms Prior said. 'I think it's gonna be a cracking auction.'
The auction will take place from midday on July 18, with the first open home at 1pm on Wednesday, June 25.
