“They will use it as an Airbnb,” said Buxton Ballarat’s Mark Nunn.

“So, from the early new year, you will be able to have a weekend up there.

“And it will be popular too, very popular on the Airbnb market.”

He was not sure what the home might be rented out for.

But Airbnb shows the only currently available four-bedroom-plus sized home rated as a luxury residence in the Daylesford area commands prices upwards of $3000 for a weekend in February.

The four-bedroom, three-bedroom residence sold to an as yet anonymous bidder who went toe-to-toe with and ultimately bested serial buyer Danny Wallis.

They paid $3.41m for the 3 Cedar Lane, Daylesford, home.

Britt and Taz’ efforts saw them awarded the best bathroom on The Block during filming.

The top-rated wet room features a mix of travertine, Grafico wallpaper, a natural stone vanity and a freestanding bath tub.

Divided into two wings, it has the main bedroom on the north east side of the home — and the rest on the other side of a central living hub.

The couple’s kitchen showcases a Cosentino island bench top, Sub-Zero fridge, Unox oven and Wolf cooktop beneath a Qasair rangehood.

A home wellness centre equipped for pilates rounds out the interior, but outside there’s plenty of room to entertain with a covered deck with an outdoor kitchen. The space extends out to a patio with a water feature and pool beyond.

Secondary patios feature next to the main bedroom and the laundry, with a cellar also a part of the home’s outbuildings.

An outdoor fireplace provides a cosy spot to enjoy the home’s landscaping year round, while a sauna pod is perfect for breaking a sweat without actually working for it.
