Stonehenge of Brisbane: ‘Mammoth’ unfinished house resembling ancient ruins rocks the market

A half-built house on a huge block in Brisbane’s west has come up for sale, opening the next chapter in the 17-year history of the epic build.

Rising from lush green fields in Brisbane’s outer west, what at first might appear to be the ruins of an ancient civilisation is in fact an unfinished mansion that’s just hit the market.

Occupying a 10,000sqm block, 29 Landing Place, Moggill stands in stark contrast to the lavish acreage homes in the tranquil semi-rural suburb.

The property, advertised for offers above $1.2 million, includes the incomplete shell of a mansion that’s been under construction since 2008.

Described in the listing as a “blank canvas, waiting to be transformed into your vision”, the house includes a concrete slab, brick walls, and not much else. 

It’s not the first time the property has been sold in an incomplete state, according to selling agent Liam Workman of RE/MAX.

“It was previously unfinished when it was bought by the current owners,” he said.

“They were looking to continue on with the renovation and decided to extend it and make it into a mammoth home.”

“They were looking to include seven bedrooms, seven bathrooms, two kitchens, a pool and full landscaping.”

“But new opportunities have come up so it is now for sale.”

The property last traded in 2023 for $900,000 as a six-bedroom home, although perhaps surprisingly, it was in a more complete state back then, with a roof, internal walls, a staircase and even some bathroom fixtures.

However, most of that has since been stripped out to accommodate the current owners’ expanded plans, which have since been shelved.

Mr Workman said that despite being only partially built, the property had a lot of potential, and would likely appeal to a buyer with a construction background.

“It does look a little bit like Stonehenge,” he said. “[But] If somebody does complete it will be absolutely amazing.”

An alternative would be to demolish the remaining structure and start fresh with a completely new home, Mr Workman said.

“It is a rarity to have the opportunity for 10,000qsm of flat land that close to Brisbane CBD.”

The listing states that the property is being sold in its current state of completion, and that any plans, permits or additional construction work are the responsibility of the prospective buyer.

The median sale price for houses in Moggill is $1.2 million, according to PropTrack, which is about 24% higher than a year ago.
