Block 2022 competitors Dylan and Jenny's house back on the market
The five-bedroom pad at 225 McGeorge Rd shocked viewers when it passed in for $4.075m, below the $4.08m reserve, during the season's televised auctions.
Records show that after being relisted with a $4.08m-$4.4m asking range, the house eventually sold for $3.9m in December that year — a hefty $180,000 below its prior reserve.
The property, set on 5.3ha and featuring a 40m-long hallway, outdoor wood-fired pizza oven, hot tub and heated pool, is one of the least successful homes in The Block's history.
Apart from Queenslanders Jenny and Dylan, the only other contestants who earned zero dollars from their renovated home's sale were sisters Amie and Katrina.
They starred in season four and oversaw the upgrade of a Richmond abode that sold for $860,000 after initially being passed in.
In season nine, two sets of competitors – ex-Collingwood and Sydney player Darren Jolly and his now-former-wife Deanne, plus Queensland's Michael and Carlene – earned just $10,000 each from the sale of their respective Prahran properties.
Evans Realty Group's Kirrily Evans said the Gisborne residence's current owners, a family who enjoy having their adult children and grandchildren visit, had significantly enhanced the property's outdoor area across the past two years.
The owners have relocated a small self-contained house, that was previously near the dam, closer to the pool where it serves as guest accommodation.
In addition, they added stone steps and a path leading from a balcony to the pool, extensive landscaping, a cubbyhouse, in-ground trampoline and a seating area near the pizza oven and a barbecue kitchen.
Ms Evans said that if Jenny and Dylan had enough time to install the extra outdoor features when filming The Block, it could have potentially helped them to achieve a sale at the time.
But she added that Block contestants were always under pressure to have their projects completed to a tight schedule.
Ms Evans said the enhanced outdoor area would be a major drawcard for buyers.
'I have no doubt interest will be strong and people will be keen to see the improvements that have been made,' she said.
She described the house as 'a beautiful country retreat' that could be completely off-grid thanks to a 50kW solar farm with a battery and generator backup, geothermal heating and cooling, triple-glazed windows, 250,000 litres of water storage and underfloor heating in the bathrooms.
The property offers uninterrupted views of Mt Macedon and Red Rock to the north, a seven-star energy rating, wraparound veranda and an open-plan living area.
'It would suit many people including families and anyone seeking a treechange,' Ms Evans said.
A main kitchen fitted with Smeg appliances connects to a butler's pantry and catering kitchen, laundry and mud room.
In the main bedroom there's a dressing room, gas fire and an ensuite with a freestanding bath.
Ms Evans said the owners were selling with plans to possibly move closer to the coast, as their grandchildren 'missed the beach'.
The house that Block host Scott Cam renovated on the show's 2022 season sold for $3.75m in December 2024.
None of the other homes from that season have changed hands since selling under the hammer when the program originally aired.
The Block's latest season is now filming in Daylesford.

Wayne Carey questioned after opting to ‘out himself' in latest scandal
Questions have been raised about Wayne Carey's decision to make his latest scandal public knowledge in a chat with Sam Newman. Carey, 54, has been left seething after he was filmed walking out of a bathroom in an alleged toilet tryst at Toorak Cellars in Armadale last Friday. FOX FOOTY, available on Kayo Sports, is the only place to watch every match of every round in the 2025 Toyota AFL Premiership Season LIVE in 4K, with no ad-breaks during play. New to Kayo? Join now and get your first month for just $1. The video shows a woman leave the bathroom before Carey walks out around 20 seconds later. As the recording unfolds, one voice behind the camera can be heard saying 'she looks embarrassed' before a second ponders 'what's he doing in there?'. Carey and the woman in the video have both hit out at the footage, with the premiership winner demanding action and labelling it cyber-bullying. Watch the viral Wayne Carey footage in the video player above Entertainment reporter Peter Ford has questioned the decision to bring the incident further into the public consciousness, labelling it 'an interesting choice' in a chat with radio station 3AW Melbourne. 'This 'toilet-gate' scandal if you like, is it a scandal or is it completely blown up out of all proportion?' Ford asked. 'Wayne Carey decided to out himself, which I thought was an interesting choice, he didn't have to do that and the story probably would've been dead by now. 'If you can't use names, the story kind of peters out. But in this case, Wayne did decide to do it and of course Wayne has got a track record of bad behaviour in the past. 'He's on the defence now and come out fighting with this case.' Ford went on to say most people would think 'only two things' could be happening in the unisex bathroom and then joined Carey in slamming the action of the women that filmed the incident. 'Two women were there and for whatever reason, they must've been having a very dull night, decided they would film the two people,' he said. 'Wayne is demanding action, going to police, calling in lawyers, AFL Players' Association, he really is fighting back on this one. 'If I was running Toorak Cellars, I certainly would be banning those two women. 'If they're regular patrons I would be saying 'please don't come back', because to me it crosses a line. 'We have no evidence that anything untoward was happening between those two people.' Carey, a great of the North Melbourne footy club, has a horror track record of incidents away from the playing arena. The most famous was his affair with former teammate Anthony Stevens' then-wife Kelli, which led to Carey's sacking from the Kangaroos. He has also been hit with indecent assault, domestic violence and misdemeanour battery allegations, along with issues with drugs and alcohol, and has been sacked from a number of media roles. Just last month Carey was filmed in an altercation with a man outside a Melbourne pub. Ford conceded it was an unpopular opinion, but was opting to support Carey in this latest incident. 'Sometimes it's not a popular stance to back Wayne Carey, but in this particular case, my gut feeling is he and the mystery woman are the innocent party,' he said. 'Unfortunately, it's the curse of anyone in the public eye these days, everyone now is an amateur paparazzi and that's fine, wanting to get selfies and all that. 'But the problem is people also love making moral judgements about famous people and what they're doing wrong and might be up to behind closed doors and I think this is a classic case of that.' Carey spoke about the footage with Newman, confirming he had been in contact with Victoria Police and the AFL Players' Association. 'Annoyed is the wrong word, I've gone through 10 different emotions in the last three days,' he said on Newman's podcast. 'One has been disbelief, that's not an emotion, but I've gone through disbelief, sadness, I've gone through anger. 'I've had empathy, I've had all sorts of things go through this body and this mind. 'This woman has been thrown into this just because I could kick a footy. And you've got two vile, disturbing women who want to do this to another woman. 'That's all they were doing, they were slut-shaming another woman. 'If two men had done that they would be raked over hot coals, it would be the biggest story going around if that had occurred. 'But because it's two women doing it to another woman … you don't know what's going on, this other woman has had all sorts of stuff going in her life I've since found out.' The former North Melbourne captain said he and his partner, Jessica Paulke, had been in contact with the woman in the video and they had all teamed up to hold those behind the footage accountable. 'I know who they are, the police know who they are, my lawyers know who they are. I have contacted these people just like the footballers have contacted these people because they've been abused online,' he said. 'You talk about vile and disgusting, what they have done and who they have affected by a few s**ts and giggles drinking their chardonnay sitting up there doing whatever. 'Once again I'm not going to name them because that would be as pathetic as what they are. I'll let the law take care of it.' The woman in the footage has also come out and condemned the actions of those who filmed the moment and shared it online. 'Shame on you women, we are better than that,' she said on social media. 'It did not happen, but that's not the point. It's time this narrative changed.'

Teen's ‘filthy' act on Sydney train sparks outrage
Don't miss out on the headlines from Lifestyle. Followed categories will be added to My News. If you thought commuters shouting on loudspeaker or eating strong-smelling food on public transport was as anti-social as it got, think again. Sydney train travellers were treated to a new level of eyebrow-raising behaviour this week, when a teenage boy received a full-blown haircut – professional hairdresser cape and all – in the middle of a carriage. The unexpected salon session unfolded on a regular weekday morning on a train near Richmond, northwest of Sydney, with stunned passengers looking on. The travelling barber looked focused as he shaved his friend's hair while a third mate filmed the scene. Want to join the family? Sign up to our Kidspot newsletter for more stories like this. A teen has received a haircut on a Sydney train. Picture: Reddit For more stories like this, visit: When a haircut can't wait.... A photo of the moment has since made its way to the r/Sydney Reddit forum, where a witness recounted: 'Was travelling on the train today and saw these people recording and giving a haircut to a guy lol'. 'The haircut was so s**t,' they added, unsurprisingly, since it happened on a moving train. The sight quickly sparked a debate online, with Sydney locals discussing whether this was a peak public transport 'ick' or just kids being kids. 'I didn't think grubs cutting their toenails during their morning commute could be topped, but this is the world we live in now …' said one critic. 'Is there anything people won't do on trains?' asked a second. Others criticised the group for their attention-seeking stunt. 'It's a skit, disgusting … social media delirium,' pointed out one commenter. 'This is gross,' a second wrote, while a third called the behaviour 'not on' and someone else labelled it 'absolute filth'. 'I would have hit the guard button and let them sort it out,' a different user suggested. Some were more concerned about the mess they might have made. 'Did these grubs clean up after?' asked one user. The poster responded, claiming, 'Nope, they ran away'. Meanwhile, some voiced safety concerns. 'Could be dangerous if the train had to stop suddenly,' noted one. 'Are scissors considered a weapon?' asked another. However, a few didn't see the issue. 'I don't have too big of a problem with this, train looks pretty much empty,' replied one user. Someone else pointed out that kids used to 'smoke, drink, spit, vomit and graffiti' trains, and compared to that, this is fairly harmless behaviour. RELATED: Public transport etiquette mistake Sydneysiders are sick of They could be fined up to $1100 While this incident raises etiquette issues, there's no explicit law in NSW stating that getting a haircut (even with a razor) on a train is prohibited. However, if it's found the group were 'disrupting the comfort of others,' it's considered an offence under the Passenger Transport Regulation, which could result in a fine of up to $1100. Not cleaning up after themselves could also be considered littering, attracting a penalty of up to $1100. It's not suggested that this group has broken the law. has reached out to Transport for New South Wales for comment. Originally published as Teen's 'filthy' act on Sydney train sparks outrage
