Nicole: Hey, this is Nicole. I came to town with my husband, we were attempting to purchase my childhood home.
I was significantly outbid, which I didn't expect, and it ended up going for thirty five thousand dollars, which isn't a lot for some people for a price of a house.
But for us, I just had to let the other bidder go because our budget is pretty tight. So we had a second option, which was a block of land. It's a half an acre block, and we got it for fifty dollars.
So that was a big win for us.
Basically, the house next door was a block the same size and it had a little shack on it and that went for seven thousand. And somehow we managed to pay fifty dollars for half an acre, which we now own and are debt free on. So it looks like that's going to be our forever home. So it's all systems go. But yeah, we're kind of a little bit blown away by that. There's not many places around where you can get a nice flat block for fifty dollars.
I'm still in a bit of shock, to be honest.
The interesting thing about it is I had done a vision board over three years ago and one of the things that I wanted on that vision board was to own property here in Wilcannia because it's my home, it's where I grew up.
I know most people here and have family here. So it's really it's a significant location for me.
It's where I'm connected and it's the only place I really feel at home.
So to get a block for that price, I feel like it was meant to be. And it's attracting us back, drawing us back to where we need to be.
I'm just doing a quick video at the front of our block of land that we got at the auctions, as you can see, it's got a pretty old fence around it, but it's half an acre in Wilcannia, and this is where we're going to put up the shed and start a fresh brand new life here.
Basically, every time I come home.
Everyone says, you know, when are you moving home? When are you moving home?
And all of us say, no, I know, but now we've got this block of land for 50 dollars. I still can't believe it.
Fifty dollars at auction on a quiet street in town here.
And we can be debt free and start our new life. So I will keep you updated.
Hey, everyone. We have some exciting news, don't we?
Anthony: Oh, yeah, if you could call it that,
Nicole: Huh? What do you want to announce or will I?
Anthony: Nah you can
Nicole: So basically, we now have the certificate of title for our fifty dollar block of land.
Don't give out all the personal information
Anthony: Like what? What's personal?
Nicole: Obviously, we're excited.
Anthony: Very, yes.
Nicole: Yeah, so what next?
Anthony: Building time
Nicole: Building time?
Anthony: Building time, first step, clear it.
Prospect it actually
Nicole: Yeah, we actually had someone give us a tip to just run a metal detector over it because it's in a place where there's a lot of history. It's an old town. It's had a half on there previously that's been bulldozed. So we thought, we'll give that a crack and yeah, then we'll organize it. Sorry, he doesn't want to miss out on the Action do ya Boondi. Yeah. So basically we are landowners.
We have the title and living the dream,
Anthony: Living the dream, Mannering Park behind us.
Shitty old day.
Nicole: Well onward and upward.
Anthony: Upward and Onward.
